January Jones Discovers That “Jim” Is Actually Short for “James” and Says, “I’m Furious”
January Jones was less than happy to learn some startling facts regarding the name “Jim.”
“Last night I spent a good thirty [minutes] laying in bed pondering the name Jim,” 46-year-old Jones stated on Tuesday, January 9 on Instagram Story. As in, such an odd name. It has no meaning and isn’t a shorthand for anything. Would it really matter if Jim, Rose’s romantic interest in Titanic, froze? Most likely not. The former member of Mad Men continued by saying that she eventually asked her mother about it and discovered that “Jim” is short for “James.” “I’m so mad. How did someone manage to get from James to Jim?” So foolish,” she said. “I feel terrible that for a brief period of time, the name Jimothy crossed my mind. That is time I will never get back. Sorry also to the Jims. With no offense intended. I apologize to my family as well for how I am.
Jones has joked around with her social media followers on previous occasions. Jones revealed on Instagram in August 2023 that she got her new look from an unexpected source. “I never thought my midlife crisis would say, ‘take fashion cues from teenage boys,’ but here I am,” she wrote as the caption for a picture of herself kneeling in the grass, decked out in a black leather platform boot, a black lace skirt, and a baggy blue T-shirt.
“My son makes this pose in pics now so I did it to mock him and the jokes on me cause he’s right, it def makes you look cooler,” the actress wrote in her Instagram Story caption after posting the image.
