In the year 2021, Armie Hammer’s life took a complicated path. It was around that time that the American actor, known for his roles in projects such as The social network, call me by your name and even voicing Jackson Storm in cars 3; He entered a rehabilitation clinic to treat a triple addiction to alcohol, drugs and sex. In this chaotic maelstrom, rumors also began to emerge that she showed cannibalistic tendencies.
A fact that he denied at all times, and that he wanted to rescue in a recent interview. The interpreter has participated in the podcast Painful Lessons, where he has spoken for a full hour about his problems in the past. It all started in 2021, after nine months of investigation into a rape accusation in 2017. No charges were filed due to lack of evidence, not even after the prosecutor’s office reopened the case last year.

Despite this, there was evidence of infidelity towards his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, who filed for divorce. Hammer moved to the Cayman Islands to isolate himself, but this move started problems: “They started saying that he was a cannibal, and people believed it. They said, ‘Yeah, that guy ate people.’ How is it possible? What were they saying? Do you know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! How can I be a cannibal? It was strange”.

Despite this, he believes that those accusations had a healing effect: “Actually, now I am very grateful for it, for how I was before all that happened to me. I did not feel well. I never felt satisfied, I never had enough. I was never in a place where I was happy with myself, where I had self-esteem. But the buildings were still standing. I’m still here, I’m still healthy, and I’m very grateful for that. Now I live in peace.”

Hammer compared the messages about cannibalism to a “neutron bomb,” which volatilized both his ego and the people around him who were pretending to be friends. Likewise, he also had the opportunity to respond about his chances of returning to Hollywood. He believes that, right now, it is not “a viable product for the studio system,” but he is still working on a script with a friend.
Three years earlier, close sources confirmed the positive step towards rehabilitation and expressed concerns about his habits. “This is a clear sign that he is regaining control of his life, and knows that it is a step forward towards his well-being. You can drink a bottle of vodka without realizing it. He can eat five hamburgers and not get sick. “He drinks a lot, smokes marijuana… there is no drug he doesn’t consume.”
