Yikes!: John Slattery Defends January Jones Against Kid Actor

Remember last summer, when one of the kids who played Bobby Draper said some vaguely mean things about January Jones, who played his mean mom Betty Draper, and all it really did was add to January's Eternal Mystery? (He said "Be careful around January [Jones]. She's not as approachable as the others. She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice.")

Well, when asked about it in an interview with Shortlist Magazine in which Slattery said plenty of other things, the one thing that's getting pulled out is his defense of Jones, because, er, well, you'll see:

"Coincidentally, that kid doesn't play Bobby Draper any more. Not because of what he said, but because...well, for other reasons. They’ve had about five Bobby Drapers and they can't seem to find one who doesn’t look straight into the lens."

He also said a bunch of stuff about how the child must have misunderstood Jones's character's coldness for her own, but yeesh! The lesson to be learned here is probably: promotional tours are exhausting. (We wish he'd found a way to blame Kim Kardashian instead.)
