Jon Hamm's publicist told TMZ: "They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward."

The 44-year-old actor has played Don Draper, a troubled advertising executive with a drinking problem of his own, for seven seasons.

Speaking to GQ in a recent interview, Jon expressed fear about finding work after his run on Mad Men.

"Look, the one constant thing I've had in my career is now removed," he said.

"And that's an eye-opener: Are people still going to take me seriously? Am I just going to do romantic comedies for the rest of my life? What's next? And I don't know, you know? I wish I was smug enough to have had a grand plan."
