UPDATE: Series regular John Slattery (aka Roger Sterling), has defended his costar Jones, telling E! Online: "Well, it's an intimidating character. I mean, that's the character. Betty Draper is an intimidating woman, I suppose, if you were a seven-year-old boy [or] her son." He added: "[S]he's a sweetheart. We got lucky. We don't have anybody like that [on set]."
EARLIER: Sounds like the highly popular television show
Mad Men should potentially change its name to
Mad Woman. The show will be recasting the role of Bobby Draper, yet again since the young actor who plays Bobby,
Jared Gilmore, is heading to ABC's upcoming fairy-tale drama
Once Upon a Time. But before saying goodbye, the young actor left some words of advice to whoever ends up filling his shoes as Don and Betty's son:
"Be careful around January [Jones]." You can always count on little kids to tell it like it is, so it sounds like Jones isn't all that pleasant to work with on the set. Gilmore admits that
"She's not as approachable as the others. She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice." Well, it's a good thing he'll no longer be on the show because after a comment like that I think he'd find her to be even less approachable now. You have to admire the kid for his honesty and guts to call her out like that (even though he's not the first to touch on this topic). Hopefully the upcoming fourth Bobby heeds his predecessor's words of wisdom and gets in on her good side -- if he knows what's good for him.
