The gorgeous American actor is best known as Don Draper in one of the best TV shows of the last couple of decades, Mad Men, for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe. In addition to that role, Hamm also made notable appearances in Bridesmaids and many episodes of Saturday Night Live. He has been named sexiest man alive and the most handsome actor by many magazines.

Hamm revealed in an interview in 2010 that there was a period in his life when he was seriously struggling with depression. He was in his early twenties when his father died. His mother had died ten years earlier and the loss of both parents was very difficult for him to cope with. For years, he struggled with chronic depression but eventually found that school and acting were his way out, along with therapy and antidepressants. Hamm also said that the acting community was a safe haven for him and everyone else who didn’t feel like they fit anywhere.
