Famous actor Jon Hamm is living his best life.

Days after the St. Louis Blues won their first Stanley Cup in their 52-year team history, Hamm, a St. Louis native, finally snapped a photo with the Stanley Cup.

Look how proud he is. What a moment.

Friday night, ahead of the team’s parade, Blues players celebrated at the Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery along with Hamm for a private tasting of Gloria Brew. The Mad Men star drank a Bud Light out of the NHL’s championship trophy as players cheered him on.

“It was good!” Hamm said as he walked away to KSDK News’ Chris Davis.

For Game Seven, Hamm was north of the border as the St. Louis Blues won their first Stanley Cup in team history.

“I was literally on set. I was shooting (a commercial) and thank God I was shooting in Canada and every Canadian person in the world was telling me ‘you should take a minute,'” Hamm said to Rich Eisen. “My mouth was on the floor. I couldn’t get over it.”

Hamm was born in St. Louis, Missouri. According to Wikipedia:

[H]is father managed a family trucking company, and his mother was a secretary. Hamm’s parents divorced when he was two years old, and he lived in St. Louis County in Creve Coeur with his mother until her death from colon cancer, when he was 10 years old. Hamm then lived with his father in Clayton, Missouri, the county seat.

He’s been a huge hockey fan since he was a kid.
