Jon Hamm has shed light on season five of Fargo, and what led to those wild nude scenes.
The Mad Men favorite – , Anna Osceola – took on the role of sheriff Roy Tillman in season five of the FX drama, opposite Joe Keery, Juno Temple and Lamorne Morris.
The trailer showed the 52-year-old as he emerged from a hot tub, completely n**ed.n**ed – leaving fans glued to their screens.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host got right to business, and questioned whether he was aware of what the role entailed when he signed up.
‘I thought I had a rider in my contract, like “n**ed.n**ed’s fine. Cold n**ed.n**ed is not great.” I’m more of a warm n**ed.n**ed. Beautifully warm n**ed.n**ed,’ Jon laughed, before a longer clip played, showing his character emerging from the water, with a pixelation over his bum.
‘I didn’t know my butt looked like that with all the pixels,’ he quipped. ‘That’s weird. I looked in the mirror, I was like, “Wow, it really is pixilated.”’
Jimmy couldn’t get enough of the footage, and delved into what the actor’s castmates were seeing during filming.
‘The glory of God’s creation… That, and a flesh-colored sock that is cinched around,’ he replied. ‘It’s not pleasant, none of it is pleasant.
‘They call it a c**k sock…’
Jon also took the opportunity to clarify that there was not a specific ‘handler’ behind the scenes to ensure the sock was firmly in place.
‘I was hands on for that one. Going on 52 years of experience, I’m real good…,’ he informed the host. ‘Tight enough so it ain’t going anywhere…’
Fair enough.
Season five of Fargo is set in 2019 and kicked off last week, following housewife Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon (Juno) as she’s thrown back into a life she ‘thought she left behind’.
She unwittingly raises eyebrows with the police after a bizarre kidnapping, leading to explosive drama, tensions and intrigue.
Jon previously lifted the lid on landing the role of the North Dakota rancher, explaining there was a dedicated ‘nippleologist’ on hand to perfect his fake piercings.
Side note: imagine your job title simply being ‘Jon Hamm’s nippleologist.
‘I had to have some very blue latex put on my nipples,’ he said at a screening, via Entertainment Tonight.
‘Then they cast a resoundingly lifelike pair of nipples, which they then pierced and placed over my own nipples, and we shot said nipples,’ he said, via the outlet.
‘The crew doesn’t get enough credit, but there was a dedicated nippleologist.’
