Armie Hammer was spotted having breakfast with a friend in Pacific Palisades on Saturday afternoon.
The 36-year-old performer looked casual in a puffy jacket, T-shirt and shorts as he spent time with a friend on the public outing.
The troubled actor, who recently received a temporary restraining order rejected by a judge, opened up during an interview with Airmail which was released in February.
Hammer stated that his actions were committed within the context of what he described as a “whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions.”
The actor went on to describe the way he treated women, saying that “once I was done I would just drop them off and go to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used”.

The artist also stated that he was sexually assaulted by a youth pastor at the age of 13, which led to his interest in BDSM.
He recalled that “I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation. My interests then turned to: I want to be in control of the situation, sexually speaking.’
Hammer denied any criminal wrongdoing during the interview, saying all his previous sexual encounters had been consensual, although he did note that the “power dynamic was off” in regards to his various relationships.
The actor further recalled that he started having suicidal thoughts after the allegations about his behavior were made public.
He also described a subsequent suicide attempt that took place in the Cayman Islands, stating, “I just walked into the ocean and swam out as far as I could and hoped I drowned, or got hit by a boat, or got eaten by a shark.” ‘
The actor then commented that he had reflected on his past behavior and stated that he wanted to admit his actions.
“I’m here to admit my mistakes, to take responsibility for the fact that… I used people to make me feel better,” he said.
The Social Network cast member said he had come to view his past experiences as learning experiences, stating that “I wasn’t going to go back and undo everything that happened to me.”
He did, however, attribute his career decline to “this cancellation culture, waking mafia business.”
Hammer’s estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers, also spoke about her reaction to the allegations during an interview with Ellewhere she said she found out along with the rest of the general population.

The performer, who shares a daughter named Harper and a son named Ford, ages eight and five, with her estranged husband, noted that she wanted to protect her children from the media frenzy that surrounded the actor.
The media figure stated that ‘all this is, of course, much too much for two children under eight’.
While Chambers made no specific comments about the allegations against Hammer, she did state that “boundaries are everything” in relationships.
