Jon’s Viral Moment: A Dance that Went Global
You might think this is new, but… Jon Hamm, star of “Mad Men,” has seen his dance meme go viral. It happened in December 2025, just a few months back. Brian Williams first brought it to Hamm’s attention, and the rest is history.
The Meme’s Journey
Hamm says, “It was tremendous… and then, two days later, the world started sending me that.” He recalls how his dance in “Your Friends & Neighbors” became an internet sensation overnight. He talks about the weirdness of it all, saying, “The first person to send me this thing — and it was probably in December 2025, maybe November — was Brian Williams.”
Into the Film “Hoppers”
But Hamm isn’t just dancing around anymore; he’s starring in a new animated Pixar film called “Hoppers.” It’s about human consciousness entering robotic animals. He plays Mayor Jerry Generazzo, an antagonist at first but goes on an emotional journey.
A Raw Emotion
Hamm became emotional the first time he saw the film. “I was crying like a 4-year-old at the end of that movie,” he says. “It works; it’s so great.” He describes his character as someone who learns to listen and empathize, finding a better way to resolve conflict.
Hosting NFL Honors
In other news, Hamm hosted the NFL Honors, celebrating the season’s winners. He loves football and says giving out awards is fun. It’s a nice break from acting, he adds.
