Armie Hammer, the once-beloved Hollywood star, has gone through a tough time over the past few years. After explosive allegations came to light about his personal life, his career plummeted, and he's been off the screen ever since his last movie, ‘Death on the Nile' in 2022.
Hammer's latest move? Breaking his silence on these allegations and providing his side of the story.
Hammer Speaks Out on Club Random Youtube Show
Appearing on Bill Maher's YouTube show, ‘Club Random,' Hammer tried to set his record straight. A part of these allegations, he emphasized, was nothing less than imaginary cannibalistic fantasies, which caused a total meltdown in his career.
He did acknowledge that he had made mistakes in the past and went through a period of “hubris” or extreme pride and arrogance. But he strongly denied any accusations about violating someone's consent. Hammer claimed that he's been cleared by multiple authorities, but he understood that his image in public eyes remained tainted.
Hammer's Financial Troubles and New Perspective
When Maher bluntly asked if Hammer was broke, the actor responded with an honest “Yeah.” He admitted he wasn't getting a penny from his wealthy family and found himself without money for the first time in his life. However, he saw a silver lining to his financial woes. Not having money, he said, has given him a fresh outlook on life, claiming, “I've never been happier than I've ever been in my entire life.”
The Road to Sobriety and Redemption
Hammer also disclosed his journey to sobriety. His ‘cancellation' or the complete ostracization that he experienced, actually served as a lifesaver, according to him. He expressed his belief that if his life were allowed to continue its previous trajectory uninterrupted, he would probably be dead by now.
While he admitted that his career comeback seems bleak, Hammer stays hopeful. He revealed in his ‘Painful Lessons' podcast interview last month that he's currently working on a script. Regardless of his uncertain future in showbiz, he remains committed to sharing his story of recovery from addiction.
Conclusion
Armie Hammer's return to the public eye has been nothing short of dramatic. With his confession about financial struggles, commitment to sobriety, and hopes to revive his stunted career; it seems that he's ready to face the future with a renewed sense of purpose. Whether he will make a successful return to the spotlight is still uncertain, but one thing is clear, Hammer is not going down without a fight.
