Jon Hamm admitted he was baffled by fans 'fascination' about his penis

Jon Hamm has admitted that he doesn’t quite understand the public fascination with his penis. Bet that wasn’t a sentence you thought you’d be reading today, was it?

In case you weren't aware of any such rumours, let me fill you in.

Basically, there’s been speculation that the 52-year-old Mad Men star is… erm… let’s keep it clean and say ‘well endowed’ in the pants, and that he occasionally likes to go commando.

All seems very much like nobody else’s business, really, doesn’t it?

Anyway, regardless of what I may think, the rumours have persisted through the years and in 2016, Hamm addressed them during an interview with GQ Australia.

"It was a topic of fascination for other people, certainly not me," he said.

"By the way, as rumours go, not the worst."

Fair enough.

However, a few years earlier, Hamm did admit that he thought the public talk about his private parts was a bit rude.

He said: "Most of it's tongue-in-cheek. But it is a little rude."

"It just speaks to a broader freedom that people feel like they have - a prurience. They're called 'privates' for a reason. I'm wearing pants, for f**k's sake. Lay off.

"I mean, it's not like I'm a f**king lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world. "But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c**k, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal...

“But whatever. I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite."

Fast forward a year and poor old Hamm was forced to comment on the contents of his trousers once again - this time he tackled the rumours that he likes to go without underpants when he gets the chance. No judgement from me, pal - got to be comfy.

He hit out: "Would you want people walking up to you and pointing at your d**k? "I can't believe I'm still talking about this.

"But I've worn underwear every day of my life and the fact that I'm painted as this exhibitionist is a little annoying.

"Being someone who people want to photograph, you have to open yourself up to the positive and negative. It is what it is. If I get mad at it I'll look like a douchebag. But it's silly."

Silly and creepy, if you ask me. Listen, guys, can we all move on from Jon’s Johnson now?
