LA: Fans of Mad Men will recognise her as secretary Megan Draper, but Jessica Paré is also well-known for another performance of hers. The 29-year-old actress starred in science fiction comedy Hot Tub Time Machine back in 2010 and certainly played a memorable role.
In a raunchy scene from the film, viewers see her enjoying steamy sex session with co-star Craig Robinson. But rather than forget about her former explicit role, Paré is more than happy to talk about it and in a recent interview with Vulture she revealed she enjoyed it, the Daily Mail reported.
'I think tits can be funny,' she said. 'Please don’t make that the headline.' Regardless of her recent fame in Mad Men, Paré also admitted that many Americans remember her for her minute-long topless scene rather than being Don Draper's second wife.
'I cross into the States from Canada a lot, and the border guards always say, "You’re an actor, what have you done?" I always try Mad Men, but I guess it’s not our target audience. So then I’m like, "Hot Tub Time Machine?" And they’re like, "We love that movie!"'
Paré also revealed that she almost secured the role of a prostitute in the popular drama series, more specifically, the prostitute who slapped Draper in the face during sex.
'The hooker part went to somebody else, but they told me it’s not because I didn’t do a good job,' she explained. Mad Men creator Matt Weiner - who had also watched Hot Tub Time Machine - told Vulture: 'I thought she was wonderful,' and called Paré back.
Most recently, fans of Mad Men saw Draper - played by Jon Hamm - propose to Paré's Canadian character after taking her on a trip to California at the end of the fourth season. At the beginning of season five, the pair were married and lately viewers watched as Megan expressed her desire to get back into acting .
The series also stars Christina Hendricks, January Jones and Elisabeth Moss.
