The dashing “Mad Men” star, who recently called the reality TV bobblehead a “f---ing idiot,” has made yet another mention at the brunette bombshell’s expense.
In a new interview with Time Out London, Hamm says he has no desire to be known as a sex symbol in Hollywood.
“The sexy thing is so ephemeral and meaningless other than in the world of selling magazines,” Hamm, 41, tells the British magazine. “Who cares, when it's reduced to just that? You might as well be a Kardashian and have a sex tape.”
The actor’s dig makes reference to Kardashian’s infamous “leaked” sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J in 2007, a scandal that ultimately skyrocketed the socialite’s career.
“It's not for me to define. It's exclusively in the purview of others and I can't remotely be a part of it,” Hamm adds. “I guess it's better than the alternative. I mean, what's the opposite of a sex symbol? A person who makes children cry when they see their picture?”
The actor, though, told the Daily News Tuesday that he was ending his verbal assault on Kardashian, 31.
Acclaimed Mad Men actor Hamm, 41, ranted to ELLE UK, "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f-cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture." The Golden Globe winning hunk later said the comments weren't "personal" -- but they were, he insisted, "accurate."
But Kardashian's bestie Cheban argued that she is more famous than Hamm -- and will be so for a long time.
"Put Jon Hamm in a mall, and more people will go up to the people working at the Burger King than they will to him," he told Us. "Bring Kim to a mall and there will be a riot. They're in two different businesses. Kim's pop culture and what people like."
Cheban's not sure about Hamm's staying power. "It's a lot of work, and she's here to stay. Let's see where he is after Mad Men."
Mad Men's fifth season premieres this Sunday on AMC.
