Sure, Jon Hamm lives the good life now, but once upon a time he too felt a little like a Minion.

As a teen in the Midwest, "I had to mow the lawn, pick the weeds and cut the shrubs and all that other stuff," the former "Mad Men" star tells "Made in Hollywood." "Raking leaves is my least favorite thing I had to do."

And unfortunately for Hamm - who voices Herb Overkill in the "Despicable Me" spinoff "Minions," opening Friday -- the chores spanned over a long period of time.

“My grandmother and my father would tell me to do yard work as soon as the spring started until when the fall ended,” he said. “That was my job. I could have used three of these [minions] and a couple of rakes.” -- Written by Dahvi Shira
