Once a popular fan cast for playing Batman, Armie Hammer has met one of the worst fates a celebrity can ever meet: allegations of s*xual misconduct, including assault and cannibalism. Now just another ousted ‘actor’ with no work in line, Hammer has not been charged by the LA District Attorney due to insufficient evidence.
Armie Hammer Had Some Help from Industry Pals Amidst Legal Troubles
Life turned upside down for Armie Hammer when several s*xual abuse allegations and more were brought against him back in 2021. From alleged cannibalism to being emotionally abusive (see Vulture), the Call Me By Your Name star’s career suffered a major setback and the actor was fired or dropped out from several high-profile roles.
Now broke and forsaken by the industry, the actor has been trying to get his life back together after the LA DA’s Office dropped all the cases against him due to insufficient evidence and the charges being difficult to prove despite a two-year-long investigation (via Deadline). Ever since the actor has been lying low, until now.
The actor recently appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and opened up about how some of his industry pals reached out to him during these troubled times. While he denied that his former co-stars, Julia Roberts or Leonardo DiCaprio, ever reached out to him, Hammer revealed that former castrated-by-Hollywood stars, Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp did help him out during the troubled time.
Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp Reached Out to Armie Hammer During Hard Times
There’s no better example than Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp of how swiftly the entertainment industry can turn against someone, changing public opinion in a heartbeat. So when tragedy struck Armie Hammer, Downey, and Depp were among the first people to reach out to the Social Network star.
In his interview with Piers Morgan, the actor denied all rumors of the Iron Man star paying for his rehab but did state that he helped him out, although he exclaimed he does not want to bring anyone else into his situation. As for the best advice the Marvel star gave him, Hammer stated,
‘Sit down, shut up, everything is going to be OK.’
Trying not to think about all the people who did not reach out to him, Hammer also thanked Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name director) for being vocally supportive. He then revealed how his Lone Ranger co-star, Johnny Depp also remained in touch.
We’ve communicated a few times… phone, FaceTime. I didn’t bring [my situation] to him, he didn’t bring his to me. It was more of a social call — ‘How are you, good to see you, glad you’re still alive.’ That kind of thing.
Once again refuting all the allegations placed against him, the actor did acknowledge all the ‘bad’ stuff he had done. However, the actor now seems guilty and remorseful of everything he has done and has been working to get his life back together.
