Celebrities\u2014they\u2019re just like us? Days after Oscar nominee Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong> inquired<\/a> about a New York City sublet on her Instagram Story, Armie Hammer<\/strong><\/a> has taken to the \u2019gram to announce he\u2019s selling his car\u2014and saving some money in the process.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the actor\u2014who turns 39 Wednesday\u2014told his followers, \u201cI will be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life.\u201d In the two weeks since moving back to Los Angeles from the Cayman Islands, where he briefly sold time-shares<\/a>, Hammer said he\u2019d \u201cput about four or five hundred dollars\u2019 worth of gas\u201d in his truck. \u201cAnd I can\u2019t afford it. I can\u2019t afford the gas anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n After DMs in which Hammer allegedly described graphic sexual fantasies\u2014including rape, cannibalism, and violence\u2014were leaked online in early 2021, the actor was dropped by his talent agency and publicist<\/a>. He has not acted onscreen<\/a> since 2022\u2019s Death on the Nile<\/a>,<\/em> which he began filming in 2019. After Hammer was publicly accused of sexual misconduct and abuse<\/a> in 2021, the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office announced last year that criminal charges would not be filed against him. In a 2023 interview for Air Mail<\/a>, Hammer maintained<\/a> that all allegations of rape are false\u2014although he said he did engage in acts of \u201cconsensual non-consent\u201d with one accuser, in which they role-played a rape scenario.<\/p>\n More than three years after his fall from grace, the Call Me by Your Name<\/em> star said that he was giving up his gas-guzzling truck for a tinier, more cost-effective hybrid vehicle. \u201cI\u2019m probably gonna put about 10 bucks of gas in it a month,\u201d said Hammer, who shared news of the trade outside of a CarMax, a company that buys used cars, but insisted that the post was \u201cnot an ad for CarMax.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, Hammer mourned the loss of the car he bought as a gift for himself in 2017. \u201cI just keep telling myself that parking is gonna be easier and gas is gonna be cheaper,\u201d he said, after thanking the truck, which People<\/em><\/a> has identified as a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup, for road trips and transporting his two kids home from the hospital. \u201cI appreciate it all,\u201d Hammer concluded. \u201cI hope you take as good of care as the next person.\u201d Actor Justin Theroux<\/strong> and Hammer\u2019s ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers<\/strong><\/a> were among those to like Hammer\u2019s post.<\/p>\n Although the actor is the great-grandson of 1950s oil tycoon Armand Hammer, Armie has declared he won\u2019t ask his wealthy family<\/a> for money. \u201cThere are no free lunches. Anything that you take has strings,\u201d Hammer told Bill Maher<\/strong><\/a> on his podcast in July. He even expressed gratitude for his current circumstances<\/a>. \u201cThe good place only comes from walking through hell. It was a brutal experience,\u201d said Hammer. \u201cSomeone might look at me and go, \u2018Yeah, but financially you\u2019re in a very different position than you\u2019ve ever been in your entire life.\u2019 And I look at that and I go, \u2018Yeah, and you know what it\u2019s taught me is that I don\u2019t need that, because I\u2019ve never been happier than I\u2019ve ever been in my entire life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nInstagram content<\/h4>\n
