Former actor Armie Hammer says he’s broke & selling his truck: “I can’t afford the gas anymore”
Armie Hammer is celebrating his 38th birthday by… selling off his truck because he “can’t afford gas anymore.”The former actor has kept a low profile ever since former romantic partners came forward in 2021, accusing him of emotional and sexual abuse and even some light cannibalism—a swirl of controversy that saw Hammer getting dropped by his representation and a number of high-profile film projects.But he made a rare return to social media this week to share a video of himself cleaning out his beloved vehicle (which People has identified as a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup truck) before he sells it off.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.A post shared by @armiehammer“I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across the country multiple times and on long road trips, and I took it for one last road trip to CarMax,” Hammer says to camera, making sure to add this is “not an ad for CarMax.”(Side note: Armie, we really don’t think you should be using the words “loved” and “intensely” in the same sentence, considering everything your alleged romantic history…)“This is because I’m selling my truck,” he continues. “Since being back in LA, I have put about 400 or 500 dollars worth of gas in it, and I can’t afford it.
I can’t afford the gas anymore.”Come on now, Mr. Hammer. We know the cost of living is up, but you mean to tell us that you—heir to a massive oil fortune—can’t pay for your own gas?
We suppose it’s possible he was cut off from the family trust fund, but this reeks of a desperate plea for sympathy.With Hammer addressing his “career death” on a recent podcast, here’s a look back at the timeline of his controversies & allegations.And while he stops just shy of crocodile tears, the actor is definitely trying to drum up emotions as he thinks back fondly on all the memories made in the truck, which he says he bought as a Christmas gift to himself in 2017.
