Armie Hammer, known for his role in the Oscar-winning film "Call Me By Your Name," has recently shared a surprising anecdote about his personal life. The actor, who became a household name after starring in the gay romance, revealed that he once attempted to hook up with a man, though it didn't go as planned. This revelation provides insight into the actor's experiences both on and off the screen.
In 2021, Hammer faced serious allegations of sexual assault, which led to his departure from Hollywood. Despite denying any wrongdoing, the accusations had significant repercussions on his career. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office decided not to pursue charges against him in May 2023. However, the fallout from the allegations was profound. Hammer was dropped by his agency and lost roles in high-profile projects such as "Shotgun Wedding" alongside Jennifer Lopez and "The Offer," a series about the making of "The Godfather."
Hammer's return to the entertainment industry is anticipated with the upcoming film "Frontier Crucible," a Western featuring William H. Macy. This marks a potential comeback for the actor who has been away from the limelight following the controversies.
Reflecting on his past romantic encounter, Hammer recounted meeting a handsome French man and having a kissing experience that didn't quite go as he expected. During the encounter, he found himself surprised by his own lack of enthusiasm and remarked to his partner, "I'll be back in five minutes." Despite going through the motions, he candidly told his partner, "You're not gonna touch my flaccid penis," highlighting his discomfort during the moment.
"I was like, Okay, this could work. This could work. Let's try this."
This statement encapsulates Hammer's openness to exploring different aspects of his identity, even if they did not ultimately lead to a successful connection.
