Jon Hamm goes from Mad Men to Mean Girls as he joins Mean Girls musical as sex-ed teacher Coach Carr

Jon Hamm will join the cast of the musical film Mean Girls, which will premiere on Paramount+.

The 52-year-old Mad Men star will play the role of incompetent and bumbling sex ed instructor and resident gym teacher Coach Carr, according to the hollywood reporter.

The original character warned students about awkward ways they could “die” and was portrayed in the 2004 film by Dwayne Hill.

“At your age, you’re going to have a lot of impulses,” Coach Carr said in a hilarious scene. They will want to take off their clothes and touch themselves. But if they touch each other, they’ll get chlamydia… and die.

The plot of Mean Girls follows teenager Cady Heron, who moves from Africa with her parents to suburban Illinois, where she becomes trapped in the social hierarchy of her new high school. She quickly joins a popular clique known as the Plastics, but things soon turn sour.
