Jon Hamm Wants to Lead a Romantic Comedy with “Morning Show” Costar Jennifer Aniston: It Would Be 'Funny and Fun'

"It would let us do what we both do very well, which is be charming and funny and compelling," Jon Hamm said of making a rom-com with Jennifer Aniston

Jon Hamm is game to take an onscreen romance with Jennifer Aniston to the big screen.

While speaking with IndieWire recently regarding his two Emmy Awardnominations for his roles in The Morning Show and Fargo, Hamm, 53, opened up about a desire to make a romantic comedy with Aniston, 55. The two have a romantic arc in The Morning Show's latest season.

“I have no idea what it would look like,” Hamm told the outlet of a potential rom-com featuring the pair. “I think it would just have to be funny and fun and it would let us do what we both do very well, which is be charming and funny and compelling. I certainly wouldn’t say no to that.”

“She’s kind of established the Adam Sandler films that she’s done, which I think have been great — those murder mysteries, those are always really fun,” he added, pointing out Aniston's two Murder Mystery films on Netflix with Sandler, 57. The actor also cited Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's 2023 movie Anyone But You as proof that romantic comedies can still sell tickets at movie theaters.

“I mean, God bless Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney for proving that it can work again,” he said. “I’m glad to see that some of the [studios], streamers, and alternate folks are taking swings at the romantic comedy genre again because I feel like it is something that was overlooked for some time.”
