Baseball And Beer

[Blind Gossip] Every couple of years, we have something new to tell you about this handsome actor.

This year, the story we are going to tell you will sound very familiar.

Our actor is best known for playing the lead on a long-running TV drama. You already know that he had a terrible drinking problem in the past. He is an alcoholic.

That problem ruined his long-term relationship with a well-respected actress and almost cost him his career.

He eventually went to rehab and sobered up.

Now that travel and work restrictions are being lifted, our actor is back to work. In fact, he starts filming a new movie this week.

Unfortunately, he is not doing it sober.

He’s back to drinking again. He thinks he can hide it and control it, but he can’t. I don’t know how he’s going to get through filming this movie.

As he is playing the lead role, our actor would have to be mad to think that he can hide his drinking during production. That probably won’t stop him from trying, though.

He was at [a baseball game in City] in the past week. He was drinking beer after beer but he was trying to be subtle about it. He didn’t hold on to the beer or put it in the cup holder. He picked it up from a hidden spot, took a swallow, and then quickly placed it out of sight again. It was as if he didn’t want anyone to recognize him and see him drinking!

That’s strike one.

Our actor lives in California. Perhaps he is one of those people who thinks he can be “California sober” like Demi Lovato?

And from a different source, more non-sobriety news.

He was in a dispensary in [City] with his girlfriend. I don’t know what they were buying but they were in there a long time.

That’s strike two.

We’re guessing that they didn’t stop in the dispensary to ask directions to an AA or NA meeting!

Our actor is dating a younger, unknown actress who likes to party, so she may not be the best influence on him. 

She is a frequent flyer at the liquor store and at various dispensaries. His sobriety is ultimately his responsibility, but being in a relationship with a party girl like her is bad news.

That’s strike three.

Since our actor is drinking beers at a baseball game, going to a pot dispensary and dating a party girl, it’s pretty hard to take his commitment to sobriety seriously.

[Optional] If you were his friend, what advice would you give him? What do you think is going too happen to him?

    Jon Hamm

    He’s filming a reboot of fletch, which I guess is a baseball movie. Also, “mad” reference.

    Dude, get your life together. Get help if you need it but get sober. pretty soon you’re not going to have a career to worry about

    Jon Ham
    That’s Fenway Park(I almost guessed Ben Affleck but caught the ‘mad’ clue!)

  6. lila8245 says

    Jon Hamm.

    Clues: “As he is playing the lead role, our actor would have to be MAD to think that he can hide his drinking during production.” (Hamm played Don Draper on Mad Men.) “Strike One. Strike Two. Strike Three.” (Hamm is a big fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and narrated the highlight movie for the 2011 World Series, won by the Cardinals.)

  11. aaaStorm says

    Jon Hamm

    Mention of ‘mad’ (Mad Men), break up with long-term girlfriend.

    He really needs to stay away from the booze and this new girlfriend who isn’t doing him any favors.

  12. AmateurGossipHour says

    First thought it may be Ben Affleck but his “girlfriend” wouldn’t be caught buying drugs.

    So has to be Jon Hamm!

  16. Poppy Red says

    John Hamm?

    He works a hell of a lot. The only person who can help him is himself though.

  30. omgimbackagain says

    Jon Hamm (clue: he’d have to be mad)

    Doesn’t matter what advice his friends would give him because he’s an alcoholic and they always think they can handle it. He wouldn’t listen. Also he’s kind of a …. so I don’t care what happens to him.

  32. funster says

    Jon Hamm.
    Mad, strikes (baseball)

    Jon – get yourself to rehab or some serious AA meetings and ditch the party girl. In fact, stay single til you are sober one year. You will lose everything if you don’t get sober again.

  34. amagod121 says

    Yeeeeah, I’m thinking it’s John Hamm again and the related blind is also about John Hamm.

  35. Devon Marie says

    Jon Hamm. He’s in Boston filming the “Fletch” reboot and was seen at the Red Sox vs. Yankees game on Saturday. In interviews, he has talked about his alcoholism and going to rehab .

    Clues:
    Starred on a long running TV show.
    Ex-GF is a well respected actress (Jennifer Westfeldt)
    “would have to be MAD to think that he can hide his drinking during production” (Mad Men).

  36. Jem1Jem1 says

    Going with Jon Hamm (have to be “mad”)

    He was on long running ” Mad Men.” Drinking broke up his long term relationship. Dating a younger woman.

    I’d tell him his lifestyle choices cannot support sobriety. But he knows that. He hasn’t hit his bottom yet. Hope he pulls it together.

  37. anarchistlibrarian says

    the hammaconda? (the “mad” clue…)

    in australia, people go to cricket matches with two-fours (thats a canadian term meaning flats of beer in american). i would *need* to be drunk to endure the boredom that is baseball or even cricket, but to each their own? 🤷🏻

    what’s going to happen? with problem drinking, it really can be a slippery slope. i’m not an AA fan (the whole god thing), but i do hope he’s in therapy. it doesn’t sound good. :/

  38. funkyhomosapien says

    He’s a well- known cardinals fan + the word Mad stood out to me, so I’m going with Jon Hamm

  40. wombat says

    John Hamm. Not sure what advice would get through to him, but the GF has to go, an alcoholic and a partier just aren’t a good combination. Sad, but he might have to hit rock bottom before he asks for help.

  42. gailpow says

    Is this Jon Hamm again partying it up with his new girlfriend? Clue: the actor would have to be mad-Jon Hamm starred in the Mad Man show.

  44. JoshuaTree says

    Jon Hamm. “Mad” for clue (Mad Men)

    big St. Louis Cardinals fan, probably drinking there.

    GF Anna Osceola is a major party fiend.

  47. michelex23 says

    Jon Hamm

    “Actor would have to be mad”: he starred in Mad Men, he’s dating a young, party girl.

  48. Sixtine79 says

    Jon Hamm.

    It’s very sad, I hope he gets better. A younger girlfriend who likes to party cannot be helping the situation.

  52. SueSue says

    Jon Hamm. The big clue for me was the word mad.

    Optional: The only advice I would give him would be to seek professional help right now. Addiction is a terrible thing.

  57. mbscott24 says

    Jon Hamm and his girlfriend Anna. “…would have to be Mad, as in Mad Men.
    He’ll end up back in re-hab many more times like most of these celebrity addicts…

  61. Sleepyandconfused says

    John Hamm

    Stop being an idiot and start being in control of his own life
    Doesn’t look like it’s gonna end good.

  62. 2infinity says
