January Jones Does Hot GQ Interview and Photo Shoot
Posted on October 13th, 2009 by Hot Momma
In a very candid GQ interview of “Mad Men” star January Jones (the whole interview is here), conducted during a Chicago-LAX flight over six beers, opens up about her odd path into Hollywood before she was on the hit AMC show.
Jones talks about (but doesn’t name) her first boyfriend when she moved to Los Angeles to try acting:
“The guy I was dating when I first got to L.A. was not supportive of my acting,” she says. “He was like, I don’t think you’re going to be good at this. So–fuck you! He only has nice things to say now–if anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.”
The interviewer later writes that the ex was non other then Ashton Kutcher.
On Relating to Betty Draper: “I don’t have a lot in common with Betty,” she says. “but I’m very protective of her. I just feel like she’s trying really hard to make her life good, and make her marriage work, and it just seems hypocritical that when she slips up, people get mad. Because Don does it all the fucking time.”"Dear men of America, I like beer, I like football. I’m probably the most interesting girl you’ll ever meet.”
On Being Typecast as a Housewife: “I’d never really played a mom or a wife before … and all of a sudden I’m getting all these lonely mom and wife offers. I don’t want to get stuck.”
On being an 18 year-old model in New York, and hanging with Laura Steinberg, ex-wife of 80’s financier Saul Steinberg and the mother of her boyfriend Julian Steinberg:
Laura became something of a surrogate mother, taking January on far-flung vacations–a wedding in Italy, a month in Bali–even after January had split with her son.
“Laura taught me how to hold my knife and fork and to be a lady,” says January. “To keep my forearms on the table–never my elbows–and place my napkin on my lap. She got me out of the models’ apartment, and my Fargo accent was really strong then, so she taught me how to speak.”
Jones also steams up the pages of November’s GQ with a sultry photo shoot in a sexy leather-and-lace outfit here.
