Way before he was spotted on red carpets rubbing shoulders with the acting elite, Hamm was taking (future) famous actresses to his High School prom instead. Actress Sarah Clarke - who you'll either know as the evil Nina Myers from 24 or Bella Swan's mother from Twilight depending on your preference between terrorism and vampires - was one of Hamm's school chums and gave him the honour of taking her to the senior prom. The two apparently still keep in touch, with the story itself being the funniest thing imaginable when it was pointed out to Keither Sutherland at an awards dinner some years ago. The mental image of the 6ft+ Hamm trying to slow-dance with the tiny Clarke still raises a chuckle with him to this day. The story came to the public's attention when researchers for the Jimmy Kimmel show discovered the connection ahead of his appearance on the show. Thankfully, Clarke's parents were happy to send a suitably embarrassing photo to them as well.
