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 Award nominations 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.”

Aside from Hamm's Emmy-nominated stints on television in the last year, the actor most recently appeared in 2024's Mean Girls musical film as Coach Carr and made a cameo in Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix movie Unfrosted, sending up his iconic series Mad Men as he and John Slattery suited up as 1960s-era advertising executives.

Aniston, meanwhile, is a romantic comedy veteran who has appeared in movies like Just Go With It and He's Just Not That Into You, in addition to her recent Netflix projects with Sandler.

Hamm next lends his voice to a big screen project for the upcoming animated movie Transformers One, among other projects. It's unclear whether he will return for The Morning Show's fourth season, while Aniston is expected to continue playing her lead character Alex Levy when the show returns.
