Armie Hammer will have conversations with his kids about his controversies ‘when it’s time’
Armie Hammer will not be shying away from uncomfortable conversations about his past when his children get older.
The “Call Me by Your Name” star launched his “The Armie HammerTime Podcast” on YouTube Monday as he continues to put his “life back together” following allegations of physical and sexual abuse he was slapped with in 2021.
On Monday’s episode, the “Social Network” star sat down to chat with actor Tom Arnold to discuss how he has adjusted to life and work following his sudden fall from grace.
Hammer admitted that the fact his children will one day be able to search about him online is “really scary for me.”
“I’m sure you’re so honest that you’ll have those conversations,” Arnold said, to which Hammer replied, “100%, when it’s time.”
Hammer shares daughter Harper, 9, and son Ford, 7, with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers, with whom he settled his divorce in 2023.
Hammer shares two children — Harper, 9, and Ford, 7 – with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers. The exes split in 2020 after 10 years of marriage, but only last year settled their divorce.
The actor’s glittering silver screen career suffered a massive blow after a series of disturbing allegations were made against him by his former girlfriends.
In February 2021, Effie Angelova, 26, accused Hammer of “violently” raping her and abusing her “mentally, emotionally and sexually” in 2017 when she was 20 years old.
Despite claims he has cannibalism fantasies, Hammer denied the claims, saying there was no criminal wrongdoing in his four-year relationship with her.
Hammer’s other ex, Courtney Vucekovich, told Page Six in January 2021 that the actor told her “he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it.”
After essentially being blacklisted from Hollywood after the allegations, Hammer has now opened up about how getting sober had helped him be there for his children.
“I look at how my sobriety has affected my parenting and my ability to show up as a parent,” he explained on the podcast. “That’s one of the things that I’m really grateful [for] in terms of where I’m at with my life. I get to actually be a dad.”
Elsewhere, Hammer, 38, explained the podcast will serve as a “journal” for him to acquire wisdom from his guests.
“I’ve been gone for the last four years, and now I’m back. You know? What are you gonna do,” he said. “So it’s going to be a sort of journal, or chronicling, of putting my life back together.”
“I’ll let you into my world a little bit,” he added.
