An introspective Armie Hammer laughed about the cannibalism allegations that were leveled against him during his precipitous fall from grace after he faced a brutalizing series of sexual misconduct allegations.
The "Call Me By Your Name" star on Sunday addressed his downfall, some of the "outlandish" accusations he faced and how the latest "happy and well-balanced" version of himself is "grateful" for everything that came his way. Citing 3½ years of painful lessons about acceptance and having to deal with his issues without causing more "wreckage," Hammer explained that his exile from Hollywood has allowed him to get sober, work on himself, mend his relationship with his ailing father and grow closer to his kids, of whom he lost partial custody during the sex scandal and his 2020 divorce from Elizabeth Chambers.
"There were things that" podcast. "People called me a cannibal and everyone believed them. They're like, yup, that guy ate people. Like, what? What are you talking about? Do you know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! How am I going to be a cannibal?! It was bizarre."
