January Jones is now a big star thanks to her hit show Mad Men, but the actress says she's not really too into the Hollywood lifestyle -- she's pretty happy watching sports and drinking beer while not at work.

She said: "This time of year I sleep in, watch football. I like cricket and I like rugby. I like seeing teeth get knocked out! I'm not a huge Guinness girl – it's too filling. I like a Stella or a Peroni or something like that. Miller Lite. Nothing too fancy. You drink 'em pretty fast."

The 33-year-old star even said she misses watching her favorite games when she travels to places where they're not televised as much. She said: "I remember when I was in London last year it was pretty tough to see football."

January also confessed to a habit of chewing tobacco – but insists she tries to do it in as ladylike a manner as possible. Explaining where she would spit it out, she said: "Not a bucket! A bottle or a cup or something. I tried to be a little discreet. I'm not a total hick."

The blonde star seems unbothered about having a glamorous Hollywood existence, also revealing she likes doing normal things when she's not working. She said: "I'm very good at being off. You know, running errands, having lunch with friends, taking my dog to the park."

Liam Neeson: It's Easy to Wake Up When Your Co-Stars Are This Lovely

Liam Neeson: It's Easy to Wake Up When Your Co-Stars Are This Lovely

Early mornings weren't a problem for Liam Neeson on the set of his latest movie Unknown. Why? His co-stars were so easy on the eyes.

The 58-year-old actor -- whose wife Natasha Richardson died in a skiing accident in Canada in March 2009 -- revealed starring with Diane Kruger, 34, and January Jones, 33, made the tough filming conditions a little easier to bear.

When asked how he found working with the pair, Liam told British website AskMen: “It’s very easy on the eyes to see them first thing when you get to the set at 6 am, if I may say so.”

Liam recently revealed his grief at the death of Natasha -- with whom he has two sons Michael and Daniel -- affects him most in "the middle of the night."

He said: "It's easy enough to plan jobs, to plan a lot of works. That's effective. But that's the weird thing about grief. You can't prepare for it. You think you're gonna cry and get it over with. You make those plans, but they never work.

"It hits you in the middle of the night -- well, it hits me in the middle of the night. I'm out walking. I'm feeling quite content, and it's like suddenly, boom. It's like you've just done that in your chest."

Extra correspondent Jerry Penacoli sat down with the lovely January Jones, currently starring in the action thriller Unknown -- and talked about dating in the spotlight. "I think it's tough to date in general," the actress, who recently split with SNL's Jason Sudekis, explained. "But maybe it's hard because I live such a transient lifestyle. Never in one place for too long. Plus, I can't commit... all over the place. It's me." She quipped, "I'm like Queen Elizabeth I; I'm going to marry myself.

The Mad Men star plays another ice queen in Unknown, as Liam Neeson's supposed wife who turns on him, but the actress says she'd love to do a comedy someday. "When someone writes one that's funny, I'll do it." Jones is excited about her upcoming role in, playing mutant Emma Frost. "Now THAT'S a comedy," she laughed. How so? "Interesting outfits. It was really fun, though. I've never done anything like it before. All the stunts and costumes -- and such a cool group of actors." Unknown crashes into theaters this Friday. X-Men: First Class mutates in theaters June 3.
