Interpreter Jon Hamm (age 52, Missouri, USA) married his co-star from the Mad Men series Anna Osceola (age 35, Massachusetts, USA) this Saturday, June 24, at sunset. The ceremony took place in a special place for the couple, in Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, California, the same place where they met in 2015 and filmed the final episode of the hit series together.

The place, which is located in a picturesque part of the central coast of California and has now also acquired a special meaning in the real life of the actor, was the scene of a shocking moment in the life of his character Don Draper, a role for which he won a Golden Globe and started his acting career. In the AMC series, this is where the Esalen Institute is located, a retreat where Don Draper had the idea for the iconic 1970s Coca-Cola ad. For her part, Osceola plays Clementine, a receptionist who works at this center. Both barely interacted on screen for a few minutes.

The wedding was attended by around 100 guests, including big names from Hollywood such as Larry David, Tina Fey, Brooke Shields, Billy Crudup (who recently married actress Naomi Watts) or John Slattery, Hamm’s co-star in Mad Men. For the occasion, Osceola chose a stunning white strapless dress with a thigh-high slit. As she walked down the aisle, she daydreamed about the theme song from the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice, a fitting choice for a couple who met in a 1960s-inspired drama.

Hamm and Osceola, who co-starred in the film Confess, Fletch (2022) alongside Mad Men, got engaged in February this year. They formalized their relationship in 2020 after being spotted together several times since 2017 when they were first photographed at a coffee shop. Of course, it took a few years before they made their relationship official on the red carpet: It wasn’t until March 2022 that they posed together for the media at the well-known party that Vanity Fair magazine celebrates every year after the Oscars.

Before Hamm began dating Osceola, he dated actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt from 1997 to 2015. Eighteen years, which in this case did not involve marriage. Before this break was announced, he went to a rehabilitation center for a month because of his alcohol problems. Issues with life that influenced their breakup. According to an interview with Parade in 2010, the interpreter had never intended to get married, nor did he have any good examples of happy marriages growing up. In a 2022 interview with Howard Stern, the Baby Driver actor admitted that meeting Osceola completely changed his life goals. He then revealed of Osceola, “I’m totally in love.” To get to this point, Hamm had to process childhood traumas, such as the death of his mother when he was just 10 years old, which long hampered his emotional accessibility. “All of that work has made the relationship I have now much more meaningful and opened up the possibilities for things like marriage and children and defined a new version of happiness, life and well-being.” it’s the truth and it’s what I’m looking for.” What’s more important than that?
