Christina Hendricks, best known for her roles in Mad Men and Netflix's Good Girls, has left fans astonished after revealing a hidden second career as a DJ. The actress, who turns 51 on May 3, has been in the spotlight for over 25 years, but her recent foray into DJing has come as a surprise to many.
A Hidden Talent
Hendricks began her career as a model before transitioning to acting in the late 1990s. She has since built an impressive portfolio, winning awards for her roles in hit TV shows. However, in March, she took to Instagram to promote an upcoming DJ gig on April Fools' Day, urging fans to attend.
According to The MATMAG on Substack, Hendricks danced and sang throughout her set, joined by her husband, camera operator George Bianchini. Her 46-song set was described as a "shoe pop dream gaze" mix, featuring tracks from Wolf Alice, Lana Del Rey, and Beach House.
Fan Reactions
Fans were baffled to learn about Hendricks' DJ career and shared their amazement in the comments. One fan wrote, "I had no idea you DJ. This made my day." Another said, "I'd love to hear one of your DJ sets!" A third commented, "I knew you were cool but I didn’t know you were THAT cool!"
This was not Hendricks' first time behind the decks. She previously performed at Part Time Lover with Mary Lattimore. According to her social media, Hendricks learned to DJ in November 2025, when Mary taught her how to spin records. She wrote, "Thank you @maryoverthere and @parttimelover.hifi for letting me DJ and teaching me how! I’ve never had so much fun."
Clearly a fast learner, she booked her first solo sets just four months later at the same venue, where guests praised her seamless mixing. Who knows what other talents the actress has hidden up her sleeve?
