Armie Hammer finds it "scary" that his children can search for him online.
Armie Hammer is ready to have tough conversations
The 'Call Me by Your Name' actor saw his career go into freefall in 2021 after being accused of physical and sexual abuse and he admitted he is worried about Harper, nine, and seven-year-old Ford - his kids with ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers - finding out the details one day, but he is ready to have some tough conversations with them in the future.
Speaking with Tom Arnold on his new 'The Armie HammerTime' podcast, Armie admitted the fact his children will be able to search for him online one day is "really scary for me".
His guest replied: “I’m sure you’re so honest that you’ll have those conversations."
Armie agreed: "100%, when it’s time.”
The 65-year-old actor pointed out how Armie has taken the time to work on himself, and the 'Rebecca' star insisted he hadn't done so to try and resurrect his career.
He said: “When something like this happens, we do all this work on ourselves, not so that we can get the jobs back but so that we don’t care if we get the jobs back. I think that’s where I feel like I am now."
The 38-year-old star has got sober following the controversy and he is "really grateful" that he has become a better and more present father as a result.
He said: “I look at how my sobriety has affected my parenting and my ability to show up as a parent.
"That’s one of the things that I’m really grateful [for] in terms of where I’m at with my life. I get to actually be a dad.”
Armie previously admitted that his acting ambitions were "killed" by rumours of him having cannibal fantasies, but now he just sees the funny side of the "wild" speculation.
He said: “It’s wild. I’m not going to lie, I kind of like the cannibal stuff now. I’m just like, ‘Hey, I’m a cannibal.'
“The accusations are the thing that make so much noise. Like, what makes more noise? ‘Armie Hammer is a cannibal’ or ‘Armie Hammer might not be a cannibal?’ The cannibal thing makes more noise and you don’t get an apology tour in this world. Like, someone says something about you, everyone believes it, and they move on with their lives to whatever it is they’re focused on, because they’ve got their own lives.”
