Jon Hamm says Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian 'rewarded for being idiots'

London, Mar 10 (ANI): Jon Hamm has slammed the cult of celebrity that has made millionaires out of "idiots" like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.

The Golden Globe winning actor says that the success of reality TV stars "doesn't make any sense" to him.

"Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated," the Daily Mail quoted him as telling Elle UK magazine.

"Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly," he added.

He added that he also didn't understand why blonde, skinny women have become the epitome of beauty by modern society, saying curvy women like his 'Mad Men' co-star Christina Hendricks are more beautiful.

The 40-year-old also said he won't get sucked into the Hollywood cult of eternal youth as spending hours having his hair done is "not my game".

His comments come as the new series of his successful TV show 'Mad Men', in which he plays womanising advertising exec Don Draper, is due to air.

The fifth series follows on from his character's shock proposal to his secretary Megan at the end of series four. (ANI)
