Armie Hammer is revealing how he ate part of an animal’s heart once on a hunting trip.
The disgraced actorwho has faced previous allegations of cannibalistic fantasies, was recently asked on The Louis Theroux Podcast if it’s true that he “cut the heart out of the animal and ate it while still warm?”
“No, you don’t eat the whole heart. One of the traditions is you take a bite out of the heart,” Hammer explained to host Louis Theroux of the hunting tradition. “You’ve got all your buddies around you, they’re goading you on.”
The Call Me by Your Name actor continued, “It’s sort of like an almost overly charged male rite of passage when you go hunting for the first time. Everyone that I know who went hunting for their first time had to do something similar.”
He also clarified that the tradition was “not for the purpose of any cannibalism or any sexual gratification.”
In 2021, snippets of sexually charged text messages Hammer had sent to various women surfaced, which included dark sexual fantasies and a reference to cannibalism. Later that year, a woman accused him of raping her in 2017and two other women came forward, accusing the actor of emotionally abusing them. The allegations were also detailed in the Discovery+ docuseries House of Hammer.
Hammer has previously said all the relationships were consensual sadomasochistic arrangements but admitted that he was emotionally abusive to the women. The Los Angeles County district attorney did conduct an investigation but declined to indict Hammer in 2023citing insufficient evidence.
During his interview with Theroux, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. actor also addressed the 2021 allegations, saying, “You know what you have to do to actually be a cannibal? You have to actually eat human flesh. So no.”
“Sometimes when you’re involved with a person and you’re dating and you guys are having sex and you are a bit of a provocateur … it’s fun to ruffle feathers, and it’s fun to push the envelope little by little,” Hammer added. “Did I ever have any intention of cutting anything off of anyone or eating anything off of anyone? No. That was never really anything that I wanted. Was it fun to joke about if I was stoned or drunk or like laughing as I was typing these messages? Sure.”
