Armie Hammer Covers Details Magazine
Armie Hammer 25, graces the cover of Details Magazine rocking a bit of a Jimmy Dean look to him with chest hairs creeping up out of his t-shirt and amazing blue eyes that his wife must get lost in.
This handsome young Prince Charming looks anything but an heir to an oil fortune on the cover and that’s okay with him because he is one unassuming, down-to-earth kind of guy that likes to keep it real. This dude is also 6’5″ tall! Can you believe that? Now that’s one very tall drink of water.
On not shaving his chest for his upcoming role as Prince Charming opposite Julia Roberts: “Julia had a line about how smooth my chest is,” he says, “and it’s not. So the producers were like, ‘Okay, just shave him.’ And I was like, ‘WHOA. I spent 25 years earning this chest hair. I’m wearing purple tights and a codpiece, so, please, let me keep my manhood.’ ”
On moving to LA after growing up in the Cayman Islands: “I went from a place where everybody was friendly to a city with no trees to climb. No crabs to catch. No machete. I had long hair and an accent. I didn’t know who Nirvana was. I didn’t know what the Lakers were.”
During the interview with Hammer, writer Howie Kahn meets Hammer’s wife, Teaxs-born tv journalist Elizabeth Chambers. At one point during the encounter, Chambers describes how she sassed Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie’s co-star in the upcoming J. Edgar, while visiting the set. “I actually met Leo when I was modeling in Tokyo when I was in high school,” she says. “He hooked up with my roommate. When I saw him on set after all those years, I said, ‘Tell me you’re not an asshole. Do not make me hate you for the rest of the shoot. She was Spanish—you took a bath your first night together. What’s her name?’ And he goes, ‘Marta.’ ”
This wasn’t just his wife being cheeky, Hammer tells Howie. “Texas women are incredible. They’re like, ‘I love you, I’m sweet, I’m kind, but don’t fuck with me, because I’ll stab you.’
On not turning out like an a**hole: “I could have turned out that way and run in those circles,” he says as he ducks to fit his frame through the doorway. “But I’m glad I didn’t. Besides, I have too many real friends, and this wife, who—if I ever acted like that—would smack me so hard, right in the mouth.”
His wife is stunningly beautiful and sounds as down-to-earth as him! That is rare and even rarer in Hollywood.
His upcoming film J. Edgar hits theatres November 9, 2011 where he plays J. Edgar Hoover’s assistant and lover Clyde Tolson.
