Armie Hammer looked a far cry from Hollywood’s brightest star as he showed off a new look in an extremely rare public outing this week.
The 39-year-old Call Me By Your Name star, who was canceled for 2021 due to sexual assault allegations and disturbing claims about ‘cannibalism’, put on a fierce look during an outing in West Hollywood.
Hammer, now trying to rebuild his once glittering acting career, sported a mustache, a deep tan and a broader, muscular physique during his walk; This was the first time he had been seen publicly in a year.
The Actor Award nominee failed to crack a smile during the outing, the same day the trailer for his film Citizen Vigilante was released on Wednesday.
This marks Hammer’s first leading role in the UWE Boll thriller since its cancellation.
Hammer plays Sanders, who ‘takes justice into his own hands as he sets out to hunt criminals.’

His vigilance turns him into a hero and a social media star in the eyes of the public, but the local police chief sees him as a danger to society and vows to arrest him.
German filmmaker Boll has become a controversial figure, having directed panned films such as Alone In The Dark and BloodRayne, which are considered some of the worst films ever made.
Hammer fell from grace when a series of disturbing allegations were made against him by multiple women, who accused him of harboring fantasies of violent abuse and cannibalism.
He was investigated by the LAPD in 2023 but ultimately not charged.
The actor, who earlier this year claimed he now lives in a ‘tiny flat’ as he tries to rebuild his career, opened up about the whirlwind of the controversy and how it has captivated the public during the COVID-19 lockdown.
on Mother’s House podcast, ‘The world seemed to be falling apart and people were extremely unhappy with their lives,’ Hammer said. ‘Then this salacious story comes along about an actor who wants to kill and eat people. And suddenly everyone was like, “Oh, focusing on this is so much more fun than the fact that I can’t leave my living room.”‘
Hammer went on to explain how the media storm spiraled as more stories emerged, adding: ‘If anyone picked up anyone’s bedroom conversation, even if it was completely mundane, and read it out of context, everyone would say: “You people are disgusting.”‘
She also revealed how the scandal affected her finances and mental health.
Hammer is seen opposite Timothee Chalamet in 2017’s Oscar-winning film Call Me By Your Name.

‘I was so broke that I had to sell my truck because I couldn’t afford gas anymore,’ he shared.
When asked if he lost his mind during the explosion, he said: ‘I was in full panic mode.’ he admitted.
He described how the persona he had built was shattered, exposing himself to exposure and slander: ‘There would be articles in The Punjabi Times about how I was a cannibal… and I was the fifth most searched person on Google in March 2021, and they were all negative.’
Describing the toll it took on him, Hammer said: ‘You’re standing there naked in front of the world, with all your tendencies and quirks being judged. ‘This… is very difficult.’
Hammer also reflected on his past behavior with women and admitted that he used them to feed his ego.
“People were my leather-covered drug bags,” he said on the podcast. ‘Having people want to have sex with me gave me a sense of power and validation.’
He admitted using women for his own pleasure and letting them feel used, explaining: ‘I would pick up these girls and take them on whirlwind trips, have amazing sex and then jump up and make them feel like they were sucked into this whirlwind.’
The actor, who previously shared the trauma of being sexually assaulted by a priest at the age of 13, explained that he was in therapy and reflected on his actions.
He shares two children, daughter Harper and son Ford, with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers, and they have been co-parenting since their separation in 2020.
He also talked about his children, with whom he recently spent the holidays, and acknowledged that they too may one day feel the effects of his actions.
‘I know very well that my daughter and my son will get to the point where they will go to therapy and say, ‘I hate my father too.’

Despite this negative impact, Hammer recently produced a film with William H. Macy called Frontier Crucible.
‘I can’t say I’m back,’ he said, ‘but I’m working.’
