Jon Hamm – The Art of Being a Gentleman

HOLLYWOOD’S LEADING BROODING MAN IS SO MUCH MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

Today, Owlwood serves as a perfectly appropriate location for Nobleman to bring two legends of our own together—the ineffable Jon Hamm and a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. I started with my usual question. A gentleman always…
