Well… Only If Somebody Asks Him To

The rumor that Jon Hamm is in talks to play Batman is not true, says Jon Hamm.

When asked about it in this kinda awkward interview posted on Wednesday, he said:

“I’ve had rumors about that since probably—since season one of Mad Men. I’ve never—I’ve never had a conversation with anybody about it. Literally. And I’ve sat in the rooms with all these guys.”

A few random sites have suggested Hamm and/or reported that he was “gunning” to replace Ben Affleck. So would he do it?

Hamm was asked by Bensinger if he could imagine himself in the role, he responded:

“Sure, I mean, sure. I’d probably fit the suit, you know? I have to—I’d have to work out a lot, which I don’t love.”

He also says the internet “wants what it wants,” but he basically sounds like he’d play Batman if it were offered (and it appears no one has) and if he liked the script (which is yet to be written).

Is he a better choice than Batfleck?
