'My husband thinks it's odd that women hit on me,' says Mad Men pin-up Christina Hendricks



Christina Hendricks has garnered much of the attention surrounding her break-out role on television show Mad Men.



And of course, much of that is from male fans. But she admits her husband finds it odd that she gets quite a bit of attention from women too.

Christina, is pictured in a new photoshoot for magazine Harper's Bazaar and in the accompanying interview she revealed that she's getting a lot of attention from all quarters.

She told Harpers Bazaar: 'Women hit on me.

'I am a curvy woman and you’ve made me feel sexy and beautiful.’ I got teary eyed.”

'I remember Geoffrey saying, "That's what you're doing for people. That's amazing." And I said, "I'm just trying to be a good actress and trying to tell a story, but if this is the sidebar, all this positivity, then that is awesome."'

And its not just women in awe of her voluptuous figure, she said gay men have said to her: ''Well, I'm not straight, but if I was...'" Hendricks laughs.



'I think it's so flattering.'

Her glamorous style on the hit show Mad Men and sexy appearances on the red carpet have made her hourglass figure a hot talking point in recent months.

She admitted: 'When the attention started to become about my figure, I was surprised, because it wasn’t something I was focused on.



'And then it became very positive, and people were saying very nice things.'

Christina has made several dressed-down appearances lately, perhaps in an effort to downplay the attention on her figure.

Her figure-hugging dress, with a slit in the back, would have been worthy of one of her famous character's office ensembles, had she managed to slip on the six-inch heels.

But she didn't bother squeezing into the uncomfortable shoes for the short trip to her waiting car.

Her eye-popping appearance at this year's Emmy awards cemented her curves as the most celebrated body type of the year.

Christina has said she thinks it is 'awesome' that she has inspired women to embrace their curves and become more body confident, but insists she also wants to be recognised for her acting as well.
