Hamm recounted to the Times his experience meeting Trump and former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly at an "SNL" afterparty last fall.

"[Trump] was with Bill O'Reilly," Hamm told the Times. "They're both tall dudes and I'm a tall dude. And they both do that tall-dude thing, which is try to intimidate you. And it doesn't work on me. I'm like, 'I'm as alpha as you. Let's go. You're not going to chest-bump me.'"

"It was the shortest I've ever stayed at an 'SNL' after-party," Hamm said. The event was held after an episode of the show hosted by Trump during his campaign for president.

Eric Trump, the president's second-oldest son, previously described his father as an "alpha" in his explanation of Trump's controversial comments from the now-infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which he is caught on a hot mic bragging about groping women without consent.

"I think sometimes when guys are together they get carried away, and sometimes that's what happens when alpha personalities are in the same presence. At the same time, I'm not saying it's right. It's not the person that he is," Eric Trump said.

The 2005 tape was released by The Washington Post during the 2016 presidential race. Trump apologized and described his language as "locker-room talk."
