Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm says that he finds working in the UK "civilised".

The actor's spent time in London shooting television series Black Mirror and appreciated having regular working hours that didn't interrupt his social life.

Speaking to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column he said: "You have an end of the day that is resolute. It's civilised.

"In the States, we go until the work is done or until you fall over, and it is a disaster.You cannot have plans. You just work until you stop working.

"[In London], you work until five o'clock and then you go home, and you go to a hotel and have dinner and see a show. It is awesome."

Whilst the star enjoys the working hours of the UK, he did admit to struggling to navigate getting around London without using his mobile phone.

"I know a couple of neighbourhoods very well and I certainly would get lost if I didn't have Google Maps on my phone. I love technology."

Recently Jon admitted he refuses to use social media as he prefers to engage directly with loved ones, but did say he's obsessed with the internet and playing Candy Crush Saga.

"I thought, 'I'm not paying enough attention to friends and family' so adding another layer felt counter-productive.

"That said, 'I'm probably on the internet too much and I've been working my way through the ridiculous time-waster that is 'Candy Crush'. I think I'm on level 280, which is just absurd."
