London:
Jon Hamm has a thing for strong women.
The Mad Men star has been in a relationship with actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt since 1997 and he admits he continues to be inspired by her even after 15 years together.
He said: "She's a truly inspiring and talented and amazing woman. I have this thing for strong women, you see."
Jon is best known for the role of handsome Don Draper in 1960s-set Mad Men, and he admits he may have been pigeonholed since taking on the part as he often gets offered similar characters and scripts.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "I get 60 or so scripts about sharp-suited, ad-men in the 60s, sure. But I'm never going to do that again. This is something that very well could have been a pilot, nothing more. The reason I pursued it was that I was fascinated by this character from the pilot and I think I can say that that fascination has resonated for more than a few people.
"I don't think I've necessarily been pigeonholed, but I could have been. I think with the good graces of other people who have helped me, I've been able to take on other roles almost diametrically opposed to Don Draper."
