See why Bad Bunny calls Jon Hamm, ‘Jon Jamón’
Actor Jon Hamm has shared his love for Bad Bunny and was seen at his Puerto Rico residency, he’s been given the affectionate nickname, “Jon Jamón.”
When Jon Hamm touches down in PR, he’s far from a “Turista.”
The Emmy-winning actor, who’s made it no secret that he’s a Bad Bunny superfan, was spotted attending the reggaeton superstar’s concert residency in Puerto Rico over the weekend. Bad Bunny kicked off the hotly anticipated string of shows, titled No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, on July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island’s largest indoor arena.
Hamm, also known by his fan alias “Jon Jamón,” was seen dancing to the Grammy-winning singer’s energetic set throughout the concert.
The “Mad Men” alum, 54, also channeled the tropical inspiration of the Puerto Rican landscape with his show attire, which included a short-sleeved, island-style shirt with matching bottoms and a bucket hat.
As seen in concert footage, Hamm had one of the best seats in the house. The actor was spotted in Bad Bunny’s “La Casita,” a VIP section modeled after a traditional Puerto Rican home. Hamm waved and blew kisses to nearby fans, and he gyrated to the music as Bad Bunny made his way through the crowd.
Hamm isn’t the only celebrity who’s partied it up at Bad Bunny’s casita. Actor Austin Butler, who went viral for his dance moves at the singer’s residency, raved about the concert experience during an Aug. 12 interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
“I’m just like, so proud of him,” Butler recalled. “I’m watching him going, ‘Oh my God, look how much you mean to everyone here.’ I’m like, falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing, and everybody is so sexy and amazing.”
Bad Bunny is expected to continue his residency performances every weekend through Sept. 14, followed by a world tour that commences in November.
Jon Hamm explains his love for Bad Bunny
During an April 10 appearance on the “Today” show, Hamm opened up about his love of Bad Bunny’s work.
“You can’t listen to his music and not smile,” Hamm told host Savannah Guthrie. “I just love his story. He’s a really nice guy. He’s funny. He’s an ‘SNL’ guy, too. They love him over there.”
Hamm and Bad Bunny performed together for the 50th anniversary special of “Saturday Night Live,” during which Hamm received the nickname “Jon Jamón” from “SNL” alum Amy Poehler as a play on his surname (Jamón translates to “ham” in Spanish).
Hamm also shared his excitement about his plans to attend the No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency, praising Bad Bunny for staying true to his Puerto Rican roots.
“It’s really cool that he’s going back to his home, to really kind of give back to the fans,” Hamm said. “He’s reserving the first four, five or 10 shows, or whatever it is, for only residents of Puerto Rico, which is so cool.”
