They didn’t must needle him to pierce his fake nipples.
Ahead of Tuesday’s premiere of the fifth season of FX’s “Fargo,” Jon Hamm shared some behind-the-scenes secrets about his character, North Dakota sheriff Roy Tillman.
“I needed to have some very blue latex placed on my nipples, after which they forged a resoundingly lifelike pair of nipples, which they then pierced and placed over my very own nipples, and we shot said nipples,” Hamm, 52, explained as a part of a premiere screening and panel discussion on Nov. 15, Variety reports.
“The crew doesn’t get enough credit, but there was a dedicated nippleologist,” he added.
Hamm said he was advantageous to wear the bogus accessory if that meant making showrunner Noah Hawley, 56, comfortable.
“Noah had a fairly great sense of who this character was, and I used to be on board with happening that journey with him. It was fun,” he said on the panel, in keeping with The Hollywood Reporter.
Season 5 of “Fargo,” which can stream on Hulu, also stars Juno Temple, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe Keery and Lamorne Morris.
The Post has contacted Hamm reps for comment.
Off-screen, Hamm married his “Mad Men” co-star Anna Osceola, 35, in June after nearly three years of dating.
He has been booked to play Coach Carr within the film adaptation of Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls: The Musical,” which hits theaters on Jan. 12.
