Jon Hamm Confirms He Almost Starred in Ben Affleck’s ‘Gone Girl’: “It Was Meant to Be Me” https://t.co/85O5gStw2M
- The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) June 18, 2023
- "Hamm’s confirmation comes after a 2015 report from Page Six that claimed the actor wasn’t allowed to do Gone Girl because Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wouldn’t let him out of his contractual obligations to the series."
- "Although Hamm didn’t go into detail on WWHL about what all went down, he did note that he would have been perfect for the lead in the film because the main character is from St. Louis, which is where he was born."
- "'Poor Ben, a Boston guy, had to wear a Cardinals hat,' he quipped of Affleck. 'He was not very happy about it.'"
