Jon Hamm can pull-off the suave Don Draper on "Mad Men," but the actor told Playboy magazine that acting has its share of awkwardness, especially during love scenes.

"It's like running in the rain. There's a certain point when you go, '[Expletive] it, I'm already wet. I'm not going to get any less wet, so I might as well just enjoy how this feels,'" told Playboy magazine for their April 2012 issue. "I mean, sure, there's awkwardness about being in a weird flesh-colored thong, bouncing on top of an actress."

Jon Hamm hasn't apologized for calling Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton idiots, but he did clarify his statement after Kardashian spoke out against the "Mad Men" star.

"It's surprising to me that it has become remotely a story... I don't know Ms. Kardashian, I know her public persona," Hamm told E! News at a Paleyfest event on March 13. "What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in our culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right."
