10 Things We Didn't Know About Mad Men's Jessica Paré (Megan Draper) Until Now
 |
6. Megan is not the new Betty.
"Megan is Don's equal in a lot of ways," Paré says. "One of the ways that she has some kind of power over him is that they are such a great match sexually and physically."
5. Paré never imagined releasing a single.
Singing wasn't necessarily part of what Jessica signed up to do when she took on the role of Megan, but in the season 4 finale, she sang a song with Don's children and has a hunch Matthew Weiner liked it and decided to do more.
"I never thought I would make a single," she says, "let alone an actual, physical record, because there's a 7-inch vinyl out there too."
4. Paré loves Megan's wardrobe, but thinks Stan Rizzo could use a makeover.
"I especially noticed watching last night how tight his clothes are," she says. "That character could stand to go up a size."
3. Megan, like Joan, is on track to be a modern woman.
"Megan wants to work," Paré says, "but she's already taken on a parental role with Don's kids." Whether or not there will be a new baby Draper running around in season 6 remains to be seen.
2. There's no problem that can't be solved with floor sex.
When asked if she anticipates any trouble in paradise between Megan and Don, Paré jokes, "Is there really any problem that can't be solved with angry floor sex?" She continues saying that "this isn't a show about people being happy," and that there will be more tense moments between the two characters.
1. Everyone on set was humming "Zou Bisou Bisou" they day they shot the scene.
Much like today, all over America.
