Actor Jon Hamm has accused Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton of making “stupidity” fashionable.
The “Mad Men” star is dismayed at the dumbing-down of celebrity culture in recent years, insisting being a “[bleep] idiot” is almost a guarantee of success.
And he’s singled out hotel heiress Hilton and reality TV star Kardashian as emblematic of the problem.
Hamm tells Britain’s Elle magazine, “We’re at a place where the idea of being ‘elite’ is somehow considered a negative. Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a [bleep] idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly. And incuriousness has become cool… It’s celebrated. It doesn’t make sense to me.”
