January Jones Talks Ashton Kutcher, Betty Draper With GQ

Posted on October 13, 2009

Mad Men star January Jones covers the November 2009 issue of GQ. She's wearing a black D&G leather jacket on the cover. In the interview called "Oh, Betty!", January Jones told GQ that a guy she was dating when she first got to L.A (Ashton Kutcher) wasn't very supportive of her acting. January says she used this as motivation.

January says, "The guy I was dating when I first got to L.A. was not supportive of my acting. He was like, I don't think you're going to be good at this. So--f--- you! He only has nice things to say now--if anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can't do something, that's when I'm most motivated."

January Jones also said that she had never played a mother role before Mrs. Draper and now she is getting lots of mom role offers. This concerns her as she doesn't want to get typecast.

January tells GQ, "I'd never really played a mom or a wife before, and all of a sudden I'm getting all these lonely mom and wife offers. I don't want to get stuck."

At this time the Mad Men role seems much more like a career boost than a career liability. We hope she continues as Mrs. Draper for many more seasons. January also told GQ that she finds the Grace Kelly comparisons uncomfortable.
