“Mad Men” star Elisabeth Moss says her brief marriage to “Late Night With Seth Meyers” bandleader Fred Armisen was “traumatic and awful and horrible.”
“Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn’t think that I was that young,” Moss, 31, says in a New York Magazine cover story of her eight-month marriage to Armisen, which ended in 2010. “It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible.”
But Moss further reveals: “At the same time, it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids. And I got that out of the way.”
She says she’s “hopefully” moved on and, “Like, that’s probably not going to happen again.”
Armisen has previously told Howard Stern on the shock jock’s radio show, “I think I was a terrible husband, I think I’m a terrible boyfriend.”
Moss, who was raised as a Scientologist, says when asked about her membership in the controversial Hollywood religion: “I’m not going to talk about it anymore … it’s private, off limits.” She adds of non-members’ discomfort with the organization, “I would feel the same way, honestly. I think if there was something that I didn’t know and didn’t understand, I would probably feel as opinionated. You know how you’re opinionated about when someone breaks up? Celebrities break up and you just feel like you know what happened?”
Moss, who’s wrapping the final season of “Mad Men,” recently won a Golden Globe for her role in another cable series, “Top of the Lake.” At the Golden Globes ceremony, she says, she was seated with Megan Mullally, Mike Tyson and Helen Mirren, who told her, “I know who the f–k you are” when Moss introduced herself.
