Amazon Prime Video recently launched the fifth season of "Fargo", with Jon Hamm making his debut on the cast. The "Mad Men" star opened up about his experience of filming nude scenes during his appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", confessing, "I had a flesh-colored sock attached."

"Fargo", an FX series, has been airing since 2014 and is primarily inspired by the 1994 Coen brothers movie of the same name. The show, which has already amassed several Emmy and Golden Globe awards, is highly acclaimed by both audiences and critics. In the most recent installment, Jon Hamm steps into the shoes of the character Roy Tillman, and shares what it was like filming the nude scenes.

In the latest season's trailer, Hamm appears naked, lounging in a hot bubble bath as Tillman. When the character is interrupted by a visit from the police, he exits the bath and presents his body to the camera, with some parts blurred out.

Hamm spoke humorously about this experience on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Referring to his supposed contract, he stated, "I thought I had something like 'Naked is fine. Naked in cold weather is not.' I'm a warm-climate guy," according to "Metro".

He further remarked upon the censorship of his backside, confessing, "I didn't know what my back looked like with all those pixels. It’s a weird sight," while chatting with the show's host.

The actor also disclosed that during the nude scenes, a nude-colored sock, rather uncomfortably provided coverage for his private parts. He revealed that he had to ensure its correct placement himself, as there was no one assigned to the task.
