In a move that surprised many fans, Christina Hendricks announced an exciting upcoming job at a bar in San Diego, Calif., on April 1.

Hendricks took to Instagram on March 17 to invite fans to a bar called Part Time Lover in Southern California, as she will be taking the reins of the music as the DJ for one night only.

She wrote about the announcement alongside a photo of herself DJing somewhere in a stunning outfit, saying, "@parttimelover.hifi has invited me back to DJ and this time I’m doing it on my own!!!"

"If you are in San Diego April 1st, come hear some Shoe Pop Dream Gaze tunes and enjoy their beautiful listening bar," the Mad Men star went on, hyping up the bar as she added, "It’s a really special place."

Fans were left stunned after learning of Hendricks' exciting DJ gig, with a bunch of people questioning if it was an elaborate April Fools' Day joke she set up.

"Better not be an April Fools’!" declared one fan, while similar comments read, "Is this an April fools joke since it’s on April 1????," "This isn’t an April Fool’s Day thing is it? Please say no. 😁," and "April 1st? April fools day? 🤔🤔🤔."

Someone else excitedly reacted to the news, saying, "Just when you couldn’t get any cooler you get cooler! From Mad Men to Mad Beats!!"

Other hyped up replies included, "LOVE THIS ERA," "what can't she do?" and "sooooo excited for you and proud of you."

Some fans weren't aware that Hendricks has DJed in the past, including a past gig at Part Time Lover performing with Mary Lattimore. But those who love her acting don't have to worry, as she's still working in Hollywood as well.

Most recently, Hendricks acted in the first two seasons of The Buccaneers as Mrs. Patricia St. George, as well as the 2025 show Good American Family and a few different animated series.
