Mad Men Star Christina Hendricks Just Became a DJ and She’s Actually Good

Christina Hendricks just proved she’s got way more talent than we thought. The “Mad Men” icon grabbed the turntables at San Diego’s Part Time Lover this past weekend and absolutely killed it. And no, this wasn’t some April Fool’s prank — she actually did it.

The redhead teased the surprise gig on Instagram earlier this week, hyping it up with some cryptic vibes. “Shoe Pop Dream Gaze” energy, she called it. Fans had no idea what to expect, but the video proof is out there now, and Christina was spinning actual tracks like a pro. Not a celebrity vanity project situation. Legit mixing.

Part Time Lover got lucky having her behind the decks. The San Diego spot must’ve been packed when word got out that Mad Men’s Joan Holloway was about to drop some beats. This is the kind of random celebrity flex that actually surprises us — forget a restaurant opening or a makeup line, Christina’s out here conquering electronic music.
