The multi-hyphenate said pursuing a career in music was solely her idea. Hilary Duff appeared on the Feb. 27 episode of Josh Peck and Ben Soffer 's podcast Good Guys , where she shared the shocking revelation that Disney Channel initially didn't want her to pursue a career in music . Throughout the 2000s, it seemed to be a requisite for Disney Channel stars to be both actors and singers—even Zendaya had a short stint in music before focusing on acting full-time—but as Duff explained, that wasn't always the network's vision for its stars. On the episode, Peck recalled that during his time at Nickelodeon, the network "sort of had this setup where once you're 18, you're done and the show's done, [the actors] are done, because you've probably just aged out of the demo." The Drake & Josh star mentioned that, from his perspective, Disney Channel "did a bit of a better job" of handling its actors aging, by encouraging them to pu...

Though reps for the pair haven't commented,  PEOPLE confirmed that Hamm put a ring on it after two years of dating the younger actress. The pair co-starred in Confess, Fletch . Prior to that, the sentient Ken Doll starred in Mad Men as the infamous yet mysterious Don Draper and most recently graced the big screen in Top Gun : Maverick as Beau “Cyclone” Simpson, the current head of the Top Gun flight school and a skeptic of Tom Cruise ’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
