CHRISTINA Hendricks has lifted the lid on Hollywood’s dirty little secret — knitting!

The Mad Men actress says a number of her fellow stars and studio bosses have been getting their needles out and meeting up in their spare time.

“There are a lot of these young actresses who knit,” explains Christina. “It started years ago with the models. The models were knitting backstage at the runways, they were drinking champagne and knitting, then all of us wanted to be like the models and we all started doing it.

“We’re a very glamorous bunch; we’ve got a producer and someone who works at a record company and my best friend who’s an actress.”

Hendricks — who’s married to actor Geoffrey Arend — recently admitted she treats her husband like a baby.

“I feel even more nurturing toward him,” she said. “Now I’m like, ‘Oh, you’re my baby! I gotta take care of you. You’ve gotta be safe and healthy, and I’ve got to be sure that you’ll be there until the end, because I really love you!’

“And when something starts to aggravate either of us, it’s like, ‘Wait a minute, this is not a person who does bad things intentionally’.

“I’m happiest with my husband and my best friend. Just hanging out at home or at my best friend’s house. It’s about having a kindred spirit. It reminds you that in all this chaos when everything can be so nuts and you never know what’s genuine and what’s not, that you know for sure this is.”
