Jon Hamm was afraid to propose
Jon Hamm loves being married and wants to have children, but he was "terrified" of popping the question to Anna Osceola.
Jon Hamm was "terrified" of proposing to Anna Osceola.
The 'Morning Show' actor tied the knot with the 36-year-old actress in June 2023, just a few months after they got engaged, and he admitted that because his parents had divorced when he was very young, he previously "didn't look at marriage as a thing" so was wary of venturing into the unknown.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "Obviously, my parents were not married long, so I don’t have a model to look at and go, 'Oh, this is how one finds happiness.'
"I just knew at a certain point I wanted to be with this person. But when I proposed, I was terrified. I was like, 'What am I doing?' "
Asked what had "terrified" him, the 53-year-old star replied: "I don’t know. I just remember feeling, 'This is really scary.'
"Then going, 'Well, it probably means it’s worthwhile.' "
The couple - who first met on the set of the 'Mad Men' finale, which aired in 2015, though they were not romantically linked until 2020 - tied the knot at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, California, the site of the last episode of the advertising drama, and had a "perfect" day.
Jon gushed: "My wedding day was perfect. Everybody I love was there.
"It was so emotional, and it felt right. I was like, 'OK, I guess this is a thing.'
"Again, it was like a reset, a reboot, a reframe, a reimagining, nine years later, almost to the day [of the 'Mad Men' finale.] So, it’s been great."
The 'Fargo' actor and his wife are hoping to have children, but Jon is very aware he will be an "old dad".
He said: "It’s not lost on me that I’m 53. I will be the old dad, but so it goes.
"It could be a good thing. We’ll see."
