Armie Hammer revealed that he had a fight with his mother, Dru Hammer, over religion after accusations of cannibalism. On Monday’s episode of his new Armie HammerTime podcast, the actor, 38, spoke candidly about his relationship with his mother.
In just his second podcast episode, he explained that there was a time when he was separated from his mother.
“We actually had a period in our lives where we didn’t talk at all because I said, ‘I don’t need a pastor, I need a mom.’ And if you can’t be a mom and you can only be a pastor, then I don’t need that relationship in my life, I don’t need another pastor,” she recalled.
And we didn’t talk for a while because you said, “This is who I am.” And that’s fine. Everyone can react as they want when limits arise,” he continued.
Hammer also told his mother that he “has no problem” with her relationship with religion because he believes that “everyone has the right to their own spirituality.”
“I believe we are all spiritual beings and I have a thriving spiritual practice,” he said. “I start each morning with meditation, prayer, and gratitude practice, all those things I’ve learned in my recovery,” she shared.
‘The place where you and I get into trouble is when I feel like my spirituality doesn’t exactly look like yours, so you try to proselytize me or convert me or bring me half a dozen Bibles or whatever so you want my spirituality. to look exactly like yours. And I think that’s where we get into the weeds. At least that’s how it feels to me.
Then his mother began sharing stories about the origins of his gifted Bibles and spoke of being “radically healed” through religion.
Hammer interrupted her to return to his point. “I’m really trying to be respectful of your time and your conversation, but we haven’t gotten back to the point I brought up, which is our personal relationship,” he told her.

‘I mentioned to you how I feel about our personal relationship and then you went to talk about Christ. That’s what I feel causes division in our relationship, where I feel like you and I don’t connect very well on a personal level because I feel like everything that comes up is an opportunity for you to talk about Christ, which is Great, (but) the fact ‘That it feels like an impediment to us having a personal relationship is the reason why I feel like we haven’t talked for a long time.’
In response, his mother told him: ‘To be fair, what I was saying is that I believe, as a Christian, that is what we are called to do. So you come from that perspective, and all I was doing was explaining why I do what I do. Because you are called to be an actor. I am called to be an evangelist.’
His latest podcast episode comes shortly after he revealed he had returned to making movies, three years after his cannibalism scandal imploded his career.
The actor fell from grace when he was at the peak of his fame after several women accused him of violent abuse and harboring cannibalism fantasies.
Hammer vehemently denied the allegations and faced no charges, but his career and personal life suffered a setback.
Following the series of disturbing allegations and his quiet hiatus, the Call Me By Your Name actor announced his return late last month with photos from his new project, a Western film called Frontier Crucible.
Then her mother began sharing stories about the origins of her gifted Bibles and spoke of being “radically healed” through religion.
Hammer interrupted her to return to his point. “I’m really trying to be respectful of your time and your conversation, but we haven’t gotten back to the point I brought up, which is our personal relationship,” he told her.
“Back in the chair,” he captioned the post. Deadline reports that the film will begin filming in November in Monument Valley and Prescott, Arizona.
The film, which also stars Thomas Jane and directed by Travis Mills, is an adaptation of Harry Whittington’s 1961 western book, Desert Stake-Out.
According to the outlet, it was introduced by producer Dallas Sonnier as Reservoir Dogs and Bone Tomahawk.
The film will take place in the 1870s in the Arizona Territory and centers on an ex-soldier with a tragic past who forges a tenuous alliance with three outlaws, a beautiful woman and her wounded husband. Together, they all try to survive on the western frontier.
