He is not afraid to take sartorial risks!
And he manages to pull them off, too – though it does help that he is impossibly handsome. We’re not sure how many men can do a flat cap and suit.

He has been with his girlfriend for 18 years
He met his long-term girlfriend, actress Jennifer Westfeldt almost two decades ago. ‘I have a lady, she’s a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We’re on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we’re not on the same page we’ll move forward with it.’

He doesn’t smoke
Unlike his chain smoking on screen alter ego, Jon gave up smoking in his twenties. He smokes herbal cigarettes for filming purposes so won’t smell like an ashtray in real life. Phew.

It took him over a decade of living in LA working as a waiter and doing small parts before he landed the role of Don Draper in Mad Men.

He doesn’t like UK Reality TV and for that we applaud him!
‘The Only Way is Essex and Geordie Shore point a camera at awful people and then get them drunk and shake the box. They’re supposed to make you feel better as a person by showing an example of a more terrible person so you can sit above them and say, “Well, at least I’m not that person.”’

But he is a fan of English humour and cricket!
While filming The Million Dollar Arm about a baseball team who recruit Indian cricketers he got pretty keen on the sport. A subsequent friendship with Daniel Radcliffe who played the young version of him in A Young Doctor’s Notebook cemented his fondness via a trip to Lords.

He hates how mean his character is to Peggy
‘It’s like kicking a puppy,’ he has said of having to act mean to Elizabeth Moss’s Peggy. So basically he looks like Don Draper but he’s nice. Yep that’s our favourite reason yet.
