I&#8217;m probably not done doing that either,&#8221; he told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">The wax figure is decked out in a debonair-looking grey suit. Ironically, Hamm, who stars in the AMC drama &#8220;Mad Men,&#8221; arrived at the unveiling wearing a grey suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">&#8220;This is happenstance, but it is kind of crazy how kind of identical we decided to dress. I&#8217;m referring to him as a human being as if he dressed himself,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">Hamm said he posed for the figure last year. It took months to craft the figure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">As Hamm posed for photos next to the figure, he also joked about the stoic expression on the mannequin saying &#8220;a lot of people would say this kind of describes my acting (on `Mad Men&#8217;). A lot of waxy stares, a lot of silent brooding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">Hamm was joined by his longtime girlfriend, actress Jennifer Westfeldt, who kept marveling at how uncanny the figure looked like him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">The 43-year-old actor is in the middle of a publicity blitz for his new movie, &#8220;Million Dollar Arm,&#8221; which opens May 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-story-p\" style=\"color: #363636;\">&#8220;Mad Men&#8221; is airing the first part of its seventh and final season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Hamm and Don Draper take an awesome selfie, courtesy of Madame Tussauds wax museum pic.twitter.com\/btmKZbPJJl &mdash; ET Canada (@ETCanada) &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":9770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,106],"tags":[3188,3185,3189,3186,3187],"class_list":["post-9662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-hollywood","tag-don-draper","tag-jon-hamm","tag-mad-men","tag-madame-tussauds","tag-wax-figure","mauthors-alicia-rancilio","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
