Jon Hamm has opened up about his recent rehab stay, saying that "life throws a lot at you" and that he is thankful to his friends and family for their support.
The Mad Men star received treatment for alcohol abuse at a clinic in Connecticut and told TV Week: "Life throws a lot at you sometimes, and you have to deal with it as much as you can."
"I've been very fortunate that throughout the most recent 24-hour period, I've had a lot of family and friends support me," he said.
When asked about similarities with his heavy-drinking character Don Draper, he said: "Obviously, there can be a lot of discussion about how much of this is related to that, and honestly I don't have much to say about that either."
He added: "I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavour, certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon. But it does present its own challenges, and so does life."
