MAD MEN star JON HAMM is facing a terrifying health scare after a close source says he recently started coughing up blood.
The ENQUIRER has learned that hunk Hamm’s been hiding the fact that he has two large polyps on his vocal cords – and he’s dragged his feet about getting medical treatment for them.
“In the past Jon has been terrified that if he has them removed, his vocal cords could be severely damaged,” said a pal. “Jon has tried to deal with the pain, but over time, he started coughing more and more often, which only aggravated his condition and made his throat feel like it was raw.”
But Hamm, 42, realized he was dealing with something serious when he started coughing up blood.
“He FREAKED out,” said THE source. “He went to see a doctor who told him he needs to have the polyps removed as soon as possible.”
