Mad Men Season 8 remains in the coffin, with the AMC series concluding its seven-season run in 2015 — but where would Don Draper be today? Portrayer Jon Hamm shared his vision of Draper’s future while on The Rich Eisen Show:
“[Draper would be dead today]. Easily. He’d be in his 80s and there ain’t no way that guy is getting into his 80s without a massive lifestyle shift — which maybe he did at the end of the show, but I don’t think that stuck. I don’t think that zen moment of understanding anything really stuck. That leopard is not changing his spots.”
As for the way the series ended, Hamm is satisfied:
“I thought it was a very poetic and very nice way to end the show, and also very cryptic, which also sticks in the realm of the show’s vocabulary anyway, so it as very cool..
It’s nice to be able talk about a show you like and not have it have to sort of be be spoon fed to you.”
