Actor Armie Hammer says his career is making a comeback after a three-year hiatus due to sexual assault allegations. While hammer always maintained that his relationships where consensual, the accusations led to a loss of roles and depiction.
Following a lengthy LAPD investigation, no charges were filed against Hammer. Now, he says the tide is turning in his favor.“The worm is turning, it takes time,” Hammer told Christina Pazsitzy and Tom Segura on their podcast, “Your Mom’s House,” which was released on January 1. “It’s slow, but generally now the conversation when my name comes up with people in the industry is, ‘Man, that guy got fucked.’ And that feels really good. It’s really encouraging.”
Hammer revealed he recently finished filming the Western “Frontier Crucible” and has two more feature films in the works – one scheduled to shoot in croatia this month and the other in the philippines in the spring. Notably, he is securing these deals without agency representation, with his attorney handling negotiations.There’s also a potential television show in development that has received approval from a studio head.
Hammer is so busy, in fact, that he’s “turning jobs down,” he said. “My dance card’s getting pretty full. That first job that I turned down after four years of this shit,I mean,it was the best feeling I’ve ever had.”
During the podcast interview, Hammer also reflected on his work with directors like David Fincher on “The Social Network” and Guy Ritchie on “The man from U.N.C.L.E.” He described working with Fincher as “scary, very scary,” adding, “He knows how to do every single person’s job better than they do. And if you are doing your job well he doesn’t talk to you or he ignores you because he’s like…”
Armie hammer Opens Up About His Past and New Podcast
Armie Hammer recently spoke candidly about his experiences working with Henry Cavill and Guy Ritchie, shedding light on their contrasting personalities on set.Hammer described Ritchie as a director who “wants to have a good time,” emphasizing his love for filmmaking and the collaborative process. In contrast, he painted Cavill as a highly focused and professional actor. “Henry is great because he is there to work. He’s there to do his job. Very professional, I would say even very guarded,” Hammer shared. “So you don’t really get in. I like getting in there. So I’d be like, ‘Henry! Come on buddy.’ I’d antagonize him and just barge into his trailer and be like, ‘What’s up, bro?’ And he’d be like, ‘Hello? What are you doing? This is my trailer.’ But we had a great time.” The conversation took a more serious turn as Hammer addressed the scandal that derailed his career, involving allegations of BDSM and cannibalism. “I think somewhere deep down, subconsciously I wanted to get caught,” hammer confessed. He expressed feeling disconnected from the public image he projected – the seemingly perfect family man. “I so did not relate to the image of me that was out there in the public of ‘Look at them [Hammer and his wife, Elizabeth Chambers]. They’re like the Ralph Lauren family. They’ve got the perfect life and the perfect house and the perfect kids,’” he admitted. Hammer also spoke about feeling alienated and unlike others. “I feel like a fucking alien walking around most of the time,” he added. “I don’t feel like a human. I feel like a creature.” Now, hammer is taking control of his narrative through a new podcast.he plans to have “uncomfortable conversations” about his past, including his kinks and childhood. “I’m doing it on my terms and I’m doing it authentically as myself,” he said. “And that’s one of the scary things about doing this, and one of the scary things about having the podcast is being vulnerable in a public way, especially having gone through what I went through where all this shit was weaponized against me, is really fucking scary. But I’m leaning into it because I know that the things generally that make me feel afraid are the things that I gotta go towards to grow.”## Armie Hammer: Teh comeback Kid?
