Armie Hammer says Hollywood would be capable of rent actors resembling himself and Kevin Spacey for a “pretty cheap” value.
Armie Hammer lately spoke with Piers Morgan and mentioned Hollywood producers can be “smart” to forged actors resembling himself or Kevin Spacey as they’d in all probability be capable of snag them for a “pretty cheap” value. Whereas Hollywood is definitely at all times keen to save lots of a buck, I’m undecided I can see that occuring anytime quickly. Hammer was considered one of Hollywood’s greatest upcoming actors, however when a number of girls got here ahead with sexual assault allegations towards him in 2021 (to not point out these weird cannibalism claims), his profession was over.
“If they were smart, they could get guys like two-time Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey for probably pretty cheap right now, for a good project,” Hammer mentioned. As quickly because the allegations surfaced, the actor was dropped from just about each challenge on his slate, which led to him looking for a number of jobs within the Cayman Islands. However regardless of being “cancelled” and broke, Hammer lately mentioned that he’s “never been happier” in his total life.
Morgan performed a clip from his interview with Kevin Spacey final month, through which the actor was requested whether or not the #MeToo motion had gone too far. “Well, I could say yes, and not just in my particular case,” Spacey mentioned. “There have been others that I really feel, they might have been inappropriate, they might have accomplished one thing that they wished they hadn’t accomplished, however I didn’t suppose that what it was and perhaps what they even admitted to was so heinous that they need to have misplaced their profession or their means to make their livelihood. I believe that’s, that’s too far. However I additionally suppose we have now to be conscious that it doesn’t swing again too far within the different course.“
Hammer agreed with Spacey however admitted that actions resembling #MeToo are wanted. “I agree with him. I think the genesis and origin of this movement was necessary,” Hammer mentioned. “For an extended, very long time individuals in energy have been in positions to abuse it with no recourse and no fallout, and that’s not OK. I believe the pendulum had swung to this point in that course that it’s in all probability anticipated that there be a little bit of an overcorrection.“
Up to now three years, Hammer has struggled to seek out work within the Cayman Islands. He bought timeshares but additionally utilized to be a drama instructor, a landscaper, and a constructing supervisor, however every time, he received a letter again from the federal government which mentioned, “As a consequence of problems with character, we don’t suppose it’s in the most effective curiosity of the neighborhood for this particular person to be admitted to the Cayman Islands.“
Whereas Armie Hammer hasn’t labored since Demise on the Nile, Kevin Spacey has appeared in a number of low-budget motion pictures and has discovered supporters in Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone, and others. Will Hollywood ever welcome them again? I suppose time will inform.
