The year 2021 led to the downfall of Armie Hammer after several women came forward with allegations of sexual assault and cannibalism. The actor lost many roles in movies, including ‘The Godfather’ spin-off and ‘The Offer’. In 2020, his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, divorced him. He was last featured in the 2022 film ‘Death on the Nile’, but he had a major role in the Timothée Chalamet-starrer 2017 film ‘Call Me By Your Name’.
In ‘Call Me By Your Name’, Timothée Chalamet plays a young, inquisitive boy named Elio, and Armie Hammer plays Oliver, a summer student of his father. A love blooms between the two protagonists, leading to a heartbreaking ending. In a recent interview, Chalamet reacted to the sexual allegations leveled against Hammer.
