7. His First Ever Acting Role Was As Winnie The Pooh
Before Mad Men (and definitely before he started moving furniture around in dirty movies) Jon Hamm launched his acting career by landing his first starring role in his school's First Grade production of Winnie The Pooh. Credit is obviously due to Hamm's teacher, who was somehow able to spot a future Hollywood A-Lister out of a group of rowdy and fussy 6-year-olds. Sadly the world's chances of ever seeing footage of the show remain slim-to-none. "My mom made the bear suit. She got a Butterick pattern and sewed it and I had a pillow sort of strapped to me and, you know, ears," Hamm told Vanity Fair. "There exists to this day a very grainy super-8 image of that that I beg I hope to God never gets out."
