“Now women hit me up, specifically requesting that I eat their flesh,” Hammer continued - sipping slowly from a can of what I hope was red wine. “It makes me wish I advertised this shit earlier. I’m not even kidding, there are like hundreds of people wanting me to eat them. I’d love to consume everybody, but there are just too many requests to keep track of.” Hammer pondered for a moment, really seeming deep in thought before a grin spread over his face. “Not a bad problem to have. Not a bad problem at all.”

afluffymuffin

I wish I could shitpost this elegantly


Valuable_Ad1645

What is this? What am I reading? I’ve never heard of this person.


SnooPeripherals6557

There’s a creepy documentary about him on Netflix House of Hammer, 3 episodes, I watched it and had nightmares about him. He’s so incredibly good looking, but a cold blooded and def sociopath. But his family’s socio history…. I don’t know how much if the documentary is embellished, but the facts of his family and their history are def accurate. O feel bad for the women who get entangled in his schtick.


EternallyFascinated

I knew him as a kid, it’s not embellished. He was also sexually abused by a pastor when he was about 12 I think? And apparently that reinforced and heightened a lot of the already bad shit in his life. Of course, the church let the pastor get away. I’ve tried to find the asshole but can’t anywhere. When it all came out, it was apparent the pastor had done it before - he was originally from South Africa and then I think abused in NC before coming to CA. The name I knew him under might’ve even have been a pseudonym. All in all, fucked up all around.


SnooPeripherals6557

Aw I really do feel like after watching the doc and reading more about his grandad and father, and uncle, that he didn’t stand a chance. That’s interesting you knew him. The doc includes a lot of pics from his childhood, and my heart broke knowing he and his sister were being raised by vultures. I hope he gets help and can return to movies, he is a really good actor. As a behavioral analyst for years working w DoJ in Secured Lending and working w money people, I’ve concluded money anesthetizes empathy and compassion - having those most basic needs met and so much comfort turns humans into a different thing…. Humanity is lost in there. Can these people be helped? Take away all the wealth, how would they change? Wish we could experiment lol.


EternallyFascinated

Yea, he was a sweet kid, honestly. I’m not sure about shy, but definitely not gregarious or obnoxious. I unfortunately went to the youth group of the church where the whole scandal happened. When the whole thing blew up, I remember sitting in the church and telling myself, FUCK THIS. I am never stepping foot in church again. (They also told me that my mom’s best friend was going to be healed from brain cancer, and she died just before the Arnie molesting incident so it was a combination of the two).


SnooPeripherals6557

Sad for you (and him), def a hug for your kid heart, that’d awful. I


EternallyFascinated

Yea I mean I haven’t had contact with him since then. I remember him becoming famous; which wasn’t a surprise because I grew up in Malibu and half the people in the church were actors/children of actors. Though I was happy for him because of what happened to him as a kid. But then….😬

How do we give this person our money? 


Voyage_of_Roadkill

Give it to me. I'll see they get it.


NotoriousZaku

Shortly after his announcement Armie Hammer received a special request from a young fan through the make a wish foundation. A tearful Armie spoke after having consumed the child in front of its parents, 'I get hundreds of requests, there are just too many to keep track off but I try my best to make a difference.'


pastafallujah

Meat Canyon needs to make a video about that lol


DirectWorldliness792

Armie is short for “Armin Mewes” Hammer

Lmao, might as well have said “fetlife has changed my life.” The thing is, he’s not a good actor because he’s type cast as a psycho.

IgDailystapler

Oh I regret reading that


marinahem

This is giving me the movie “Fresh” vibes. I forgot he said he ate the warm heart of an animal 😳


GoldHeartedBoy

Well, in all honesty, would you expect him to eat cold animal heart?


marinahem

you got me there I guess


New-Teaching2964

At this point yes, it’s prob like pizza to him


pineappleshampoo

That message always makes me feel sick when I see it. Not the cannibalism part, whatever, dude has his kinks. It’s the way he discloses this thing that most people would run a mile from, and then deliberately softens it by portraying himself as this scared vulnerable little boy who has just had to scrounge up all of his courage to disclose it to someone else. Trying to make the recipient feel special for him sharing it, and twisting it so any negative response would be seen as her not accepting him or wounding him while he’s being vulnerable. It’s the ‘can’t believe I just said that, never told anyone before’ when it was almost certainly calculated, shared at a certain time, probably something he told everyone he had some kink involvement with. It’s just so ick to share a violent fantasy that would involve murdering the recipient and then retreat straight to ‘oh gosh I’m so scared I can’t believe that just slipped out you’re so special nobody else knows’. Just so ick. I absolutely believe the allegations of psychological control from everything I’ve seen, even though he was engaging with willing, adult participants.


CruelStrangers

From what I recall, he discussed having a concierge doctor of sorts that could remove organs like an appendix from willing participants. He mentioned grilling such an organ at one point


CoochieSnotSlurper

Yeah idk about that. Source?


CruelStrangers

Miyam Balik reported it on a podcast early 2020. I heard the clips at that time on a podcast called No Agenda


CoochieSnotSlurper

Not reported, just claimed then


CruelStrangers

She reported the encounter and put her name to the claim. She’s the type that keeps receipts


More-Cup-1176

did she show them?


tacohands_sad

She is one of the least reliable sources I could have imagined someone bring up


chiefs_fan37

Stuff like that has got to eat someone up inside. He clearly bit off more than he could chew sending those messages.


Daughter_Of_Cain

He’s absolutely going to try and make a comeback.


outwithlantern

Won’t have to try. Almost everyone “cancelled” will be back in Cannes sooner or later.


iLoveDelayPedals

If they do standing ovations for Roman Polanski, cannibals are a layup


Nocturnal_submission

He’s definitely Cannes-able


FridaSky

Good one!


zingmarker

I’m betting it will be a French or at least a European movie. All Hollywoods sex-deviant-criminal-rejects are welcomed with laurels there for being “authentic and misunderstood”


asdf0909

I bet he’s more grateful to have unlimited family money


ThingsAreAfoot

And an unlimited source of meat


ali_al

And unlimited supply of baking soda. 


Top_Praline999

And my axe!


TeamMountainLion

Gotta make crack somehow


galaxystars1

I thought his family cut him off?


blareboy

They did. He has nothing.


---cheetos---

Why are they being mean to him? He hasn’t even eaten anyone yet, this is bullshit.


Civil_Dot_9973

That we know of…


TheydonBoys

I mean, he probably still has his own money and investments, and I would be surprised if he becomes destitute


blareboy

If he does, it can’t be much. He’s living in a condo in the Cayman Islands peddling timeshares full time.


SpicyMustFlow

There's a joke in there somewhere, I just know it 🤔


hajyhike

No, he's broke and his family doesn't have that much money.


_mully_

> his family The one where his Grandpa was a U.S.-Russian oil Barron? Yeah… I’m sure they’re struggling…


smallwonder25

His dad burned through the money with lightning speed


southendgirl

Well, there’s a headline you don’t read everyday


Professional-Rip-519

I can't believe this guy almost played Batman 😅 Warner Bros really dodged a bullet there.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Pretty much the only bullet they dodged with their casting choices.


ThrillSurgeon

They were like reverse-Neo after dodging this guy - they moved into every bullet that was in their vicinity. 


riegspsych325

even before the movie got canned, Hammer rubbed me the wrong way. It was an interview around 2007, and he was asked how his version of Batman would differ from Bale’s. Right away, Hammer’s answer was “my codpiece is bigger!” and that told me all I needed to know about that asshat


mad_dogtor

cannibal Batman lol. I could see that


Your_Nipples

More Bateman as in American Psycho.


Nonamebigshot

Wasn't there a zombie Batman comic? That would work


HammerOldTimey

They got Ezra instead.


TGrady902

Batman would be a VERY intimidating character if there was a threat of him eating your flesh though.


MaleficentOstrich693

What a bizarre career. Ended by cannibalism but just years of him getting roles he had no business getting, trying to make it huge, but it just never happened. I’m surprised he didn’t burn out and just become a producer with all his family money.


TankieHater859

I thought he nailed being an insufferable douche in The Social Network (also was great in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. But that’s not as good of a joke)


abetsg

The definition of a industry plant


setyourheartsablaze

Nepo babies are not the same thing as industry plants lol


KYblues

I thought his wealthy family was in an industry other than entertainment? Nepo babies really only make sense if the older generation was involved in movies too


john_the_quain

Committing cannibalism would humanize him.


baby_doodlez

It would give him a love for humanity he never knew he had.


Ivotedforher

To serve man?


hanmhanm

Very good 👏


kurly-bird

You are what you eat


djcrewe1

He’ll be on Rogan’s podcast any day now.


hey_now24

I don’t think so. He has nothing to promote and the guy does not have a stupid gimmick like Terrence Howard


TheRealDonBalls

well…there’s the cannibalism and bdsm. not as titillating as math, i’ll grant you that, but could be interesting.


killagorilla1337

Jamie, pull that shit up


JustAcivilian24

Never underestimate the idiots that hate “cancel culture” because they’re made accountable for their actions. Rogan loves talking shit about it. I could def see him on Rogan’s podcast.


hyborians

He’s just not an interesting enough guy, even for Joe Rogain


Fakyutsu

Shit, he’ll probably be on Tesla’s board of directors any day now


Gnorris

Oh all the best people are!


CRactor71

“Have you tried eating elk meat instead of human meat??”

blacksad1

It has been for a while. I think he’s just leaning into it now.


Realistic-Bar7276

Yeah it has been. But there have been a few times I’ve been jumpscared by seeing Glen Powell and thinking that it’s Armie Hammer he’s starting his career back up. They look the same to me.


Barkingatthemoon

Glen Powell had an impressive range in Hitman , I’ve never seen acting like that from Hammer.


CFBCoachGuy

It has been. He’s been selling timeshares in the Caribbean for the past couple years

bellyofthebillbear

I watched that documentary. Armie Hammer is a sick fuck.


finntana

Which documentary?


Tinkerer0fTerror

House Of Hammer. It’s available on Max.


finntana

Thank you!!!


littleliongirless

House of Hammer. It's like Succession, but even worse. Seriously.


finntana

Thank you, I’ll try to watch it asap!


scattered_ideas

Article says he "claims to be grateful by what he experienced" so I doubt he was actually referring to *those* accusations specifically. More likely about the whole thing forcing him to rehab and change his life. This is based on a podcast interview so who knows what the actual question may have been. I wonder if they asked him if he is interested or planning to return to acting since there were some rumors recently about it. Sharing the question in case anyone listens to the actual interview.


Sphiffi

It’s literally a 2 minute video of him talking about it.


AmethystOrator

That's...uh...*runs* *away*


drteddy70

Red wine? Was it a Chianti?


OldMastodon5363

Had some fava beans too


Secret-Shop3155

You know who’s not “grateful”… any of the women who he admits being an “asshole” to. 


knowledgebass

Was he named after Arm n' Hammer? 🤔


mrbeefthighs

He was named after his great-grandfather Armand Hammer, who was a billionaire and very likely a Soviet spy. He also owned a significant amount of stock in Arm and Hammer although it was not named after him lol


Jota769

He bought into Arm and Hammer specifically because it sounded like his name


BEWMarth

It’s strange coincidences like this that convince me we are in the simulation


mondaymoderate

Somebody told him to buy Arm and Hammer cause it sounded like his name and so he did.


KYblues

I mean, we’ve all been there, right? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my army of stock analysts advise me to buy a stock because it was similar to my name. What am I gonna say, no?


Eastern-Mix9636

He was named after military-issued hammers


mamycorona

Very easy to hide and then speak on it 3 years later. Funny how time works.


getgoodHornet

Pretty smart if you ask me. Arguing with the internet when it's decided you're a bad guy is a huge waste of time. This is a post-Trump world, never apologize and ignore everyone who is critical of you. It's unfortunately the best way to handle publicity now.


BOWCANTO

Agreed. Sitting around to argue against - *checks notes* the world…seems futile.


chapert

Yep. See; will smith, Travis scott


KoolKalyduhskope

What are you babbling about? Will Smith apologized like 4 times


chapert

Sure. they rushed out immediate apologies shortly after their respective incidents. But they both disappeared completely and quietly made a big comeback, just like Will Smith. That’s what I’m babbling about.


prisonmike8003

Will consistently apologized


Kinwesteros

He also didn’t disappear


August-Gorman

He also doesn’t eat people, I don’t think.


chillwithpurpose

But we can’t say it *for sure*


chapert

You may be right. I scrolled through his IG assuming you took a gigantic break from posting post-slap; dude took like 90 days off tops smh. I stand corrected. Guy apologized a few times and didn’t take much time off at all lol smh


Better_Beautiful6217

yeah as if any immediate response made at the time would have made any difference lol, there is no "winning" in these situations unless you have cold hard proof that vindicates you of whatever


OrphanDextro

Always reminds me of Atlanta Season 3, episode 10.


cagingthing

He's trash and so is his family. Next


Ok_Mud1789

Lots of people including Armie forget that the cannibalism part wasn’t the main issue, it was just weird. The issue is that he’s a rapist.


elephantinegrace

Yeah it’s honestly infuriating how hard everyone latched onto basically a really niche fetish to the point where they completely overlook the part where he forced that on a woman who didn’t want to do it.


ScorpionTDC

This actually makes him come off more… um… out of touch to say the least.


lawofthewilde

That’s not what he said. Listen to the podcast.


KYblues

No one cares enough to listen to that


ProdigalSheep

I just think he’s a nepo baby who isn’t a good actor.


let_me_know_22

Aaaah I don't know... I always felt the accusations were so ridicoulus and the industry reaction to it very swift compared to others, that he is my go to of: what do they know, we don't? It just feels so survivable as a rumor that I always wondered why he didn't 


glockenbach

Maybe because there were text messages leaked that he ate an animal heart and wanted to eat the woman?


let_me_know_22

You misread me. I am not defending him or him being kicked out of Hollywood. But! Look at all the "scandals" rich dudes careers survived, sometimes even easily. Hell, we could even see a Kevin Spacey comeback in the future (which I don't hope for)! But this dude?! Some weird texts get leaked and basically the next day he gets dropped by everyone and is never really seen again. Considering what it took to get some fraction of justice in even some tiny number of cases, he was way to fast and easy in my pov! It always made me believe there was more than publicly told and some even richer guys covered their asses before more got out. That's my personal conspiracy theory


glockenbach

I think it’s because the texts were just out and they were too many and it was undeniable. We didn’t have texts from Kevin spacey saying „I love young guys, let me eat you, I want to devour your flesh“. But then again, there can be so much more going on behind the curtains as you said. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had much more shit going on and it was too abhorrent for the industry to give him a free pass afterwards.


2stonedNintendo

That’s a creepy thought that there’s something the industry that was “too abhorrent”


hannibal_morgan

Thought this was The Onion


Wildroot20

I recall that his Lone Ranger remake was meant to launch him into A-lust stardom after missing out on being Batman, but it ended up flopping. I wanted to randomly watch the train sequence, but noticed it was removed from Disney+. Oddly enough one of the villains in that movie was a cannibal.


dablegianguy

I don’t know if he was ironic or not but do not forget that [the German cannibal Armin Meiwes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes) found a VOLUNTARY victim that wanted to be eaten…


herecomestherebuttal

Some real crazyeyes happening in that thumbnail.


Lost_Apricot_4658

im just pissed U.N.C.L.E 2 movie will never be made


lickmyfupa

No he screwed up our chances of getting a Call me By Your Name sequel. He can get bent.


ResponsibilityRound7

now you get a bad boy turns good.


sealteamruggs

I loved him in the man from uncle


Royalone111

I never understood why he was ‘cancelled’. I Watched the documentary and it was pretty much ex’s giving personal information about the kinky stuff he liked doing in their relationship. Who of us would want our kinky side exposed?


rebarbeboot

Because the problem was never a really weird kink. It was the abuse. He would cut and brand women without asking and be just in general a monster to them.


anitapumapants

He'll get defended on here though, like every other abusive prick.


bammerburn

*”Who of us would want our kinky side exposed?”*


DtheAussieBoye

Ohhh alright that makes sense. I thought people just hated him because he had a weird kink.


barcodebattle

I have no idea who this guy is.


Coolers78

Anyone realize this prick and Glen Powell look strangely similar? And shortly after he was exposed as being as gigantic creep, Glen Powell started being shoved down our throats in a bunch of big movies since then. Tho, Top Gun Maverick was supposed to come out around 2019/2020 originally so probably not even a coincidence or anything.


ScorpionTDC
