Christina Hendricks talks to The Advocate

I was glad to receive a link to this Advocate interview with Mad Men star Christina Hendricks a little while ago. I met her at the World Magic Awards earlier this year and ended up chatting with her and her then-fiancee (and now husband) Geoffrey Arend for awhile as they waited to do a TV interview.

She has such a lovely way about her.

Brandon Voss chatted with the actress and here are some highlights:

Your costar Jon Hamm once told me that Joan was key in attracting Mad Men’s gay audience. Are you aware of the gay fever your character inflames?
First of all, it’s really funny that Jon Hamm of all people said that somehow I’m responsible. Yeah, I’ve noticed it and it’s been really fun. Joan adds some levity to the office when things are a bit dour, so I think that’s part of what they’ve responded to.

Who’s your girl-crush?
Probably Zooey Deschanel. [Laughs] My fiancé [Geoffrey Arend] is in 500 Days of Summer with her, so I’ve seen that movie three times in a row, and I’m like, “God, I love watching her!” I find her very unique and interesting. She’s lovely.

Do you mind all the focus placed on your bosom in the media?
It’s crazy, right? I’m on what I think is the best TV show there is right now and everyone’s always talking about my boobs. I’ve never dealt with this kind of attention on them before, so it’s a bit of a surprise. It’s true: I have them. I guess I never realized that not that many other people do. But I’m definitely ready for someone to be like, “She’s the most amazing actress ever!” That would be nice.
