Jon Hamm steps out after rehab confession with puffy eyes near his Los Angeles home
Jon Hamm showed puffy eyes on Wednesday night while walking in Los Angeles, a week after confirming that he'd recently completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol addiction.
The 44-year-old actor hid his eyes swollen like a bee sting under a dark St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap while out in the Los Feliz neighbourhood.
He sported a thick beard and was dressed casually wearing an untucked blue shirt, black jacket, grey jeans and black sneakers.

He has been portraying flawed Madison Avenue advertising executive Don Draper in the hit show since its premiere in July 2007.
Draper famously drinks his way through the ups and downs of his personal and professional lives and it's been suggested that Hamm's own battle with the bottle has been a case of art imitating life.

'Obviously there can be a lot of discussion about how much of this is related to that and honestly I don’t have much to say about that either,' Hamm said.
As for all the media interest, the actor appears to be taking it in his stride - and with good grace.
'I understand it constitutes news these days,' he told TV Week, 'but it’s between me and my family and not something for public consumption.'
Jon has been in a long-term relationship with actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt, 45, and they have been spotted walking in the Los Feliz area together.
Final episodes: Jon is shown last month on 25 March at an event in Los Angeles celebrating AMC's Mad Men
