Jon Hamm has gone from “Mad Men” to fanboy.
During an April 10 appearance on TODAY, the Emmy-winning actor revealed he’s a huge fan of Latin trap and reggaeton artist Bad Bunny. In fact, Hamm has visions of catching one of his upcoming shows in Puerto Rico, which kick off July 11 and run through Sept. 14.
“It’s kind of a thing,” Hamm told Savannah Guthrie on TODAY, while gushing about the Grammy-winning artist.
“Well, we’re hoping to go to Puerto Rico. I’m excited because he’s doing this residency where he’s doing a month and a half of shows in Puerto Rico,” he said. “First of all, I think it’s really cool that he’s going back to his home, to really kind give back to the fans. He’s reserving the first four, five or 10 shows, or whatever it is, for only residents of Puerto Rico, which is so cool.”
In an Instagram video on Jan. 13, Bad Bunny surprised fans by announcing his first ever residency, “No me quiero ir de aquí,” in Puerto Rico following the release of his album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.”
Per the venue’s website, the first nine shows are for “Puerto Rico residents only.”
Hamm and Bad Bunny appeared together during a Q&A sketch on “SNL50” earlier this year, which only heightened Hamm’s appreciation for him.
“He’s a really nice guy. And he’s funny. And he’s fun and his music is awesome,” he said.
Hamm also said the “Dákiti” hitmaker likes to call him by the nickname “Jon Jamón,” which translates from Spanish to “Jon Ham.” Hamm also noted that his music puts him in a good mood.
“You can’t listen to his music and not smile. I just love his story. He’s a really nice guy. He’s funny. He’s an ‘SNL’ guy, too. They love him over there,” Hamm said.
They also seem to love Hamm over there, too. He’ll be hosting “SNL” for the fourth time on April 12. Fans can also check him out in his new AppleTV+ series, “Your Friends & Neighbors,” which premieres April 11.
