After direct messages in which Hammer allegedly described detailed sexual fantasies — including rape, cannibalism and violence — were leaked online in early 2021, the actor dropped by his talent agency and publicist. He has not acting on screen since 2022 Death on the Nile, which he began filming in 2019. After Hammer publicly accused of sexual misconduct and abuse in 2021, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced last year that no criminal charges would be filed against him. In a 2023 interview for AirmailHammer maintained that all rape allegations were false—although he said he engaged in “non-consensual” acts with one accuser, in which they acted out a rape scenario.
More than three years after he lost his honor, Call Me By Your Name star said he would be ditching his gas-guzzling truck for a smaller, more cost-effective hybrid. “I’ll probably be spending about $10 a month on gas,” said Hammer, who shared the news of the trade-in outside of CarMax, a used-car buying company, but stressed that the post “is not an advertisement for CarMax.”
Still, Hammer mourns the loss of the truck, which he bought as a gift to himself in 2017. “I kept telling myself it would be easier to park and the gas would be cheaper,” he said, after thanking the truck. Everybody identified the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup, for the long haul and to drive his two children home from the hospital. “I appreciate it all,” Hammer concluded. “I hope you’re taken care of as well as the others.” Actor Justin Theroux and Hammer ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers were among those who liked Hammer’s post.
Although the actor is the great-grandson of 1950s oil tycoon Armand Hammer, Armie has stated he will not be asking his rich family for money. “There is no such thing as a free lunch. Anything you take has strings attached,” Hammer speak Bill Maher on his podcast in July. He even express gratitude for one’s current situation“The good place only comes from going through hell. It was a devastating experience,” Hammer said. “Someone might look at me and say, ‘Yeah, but financially you’re in a very different place than you’ve ever been in your entire life.’ And I look at that and say, ‘Yeah, and you know, that taught me that I don’t need that, because I’ve never been happier in my entire life.’”
