By his own admission<\/a>, Armie Hammer \u201cwould have done a fucking cat food commercial\u201d if it meant getting acting work again after sexual abuse allegations. Now, he probably wishes he had. Now, after his attempted comeback vehicle has been gleefully championed by the owner of MechaHitler<\/a>, Hammer has some regrets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is per a new report from Puck\u2018s Kim Masters<\/a>, who reports that after Hammer finally saw a cut of Citizen Vigilante, the new movie he leads from German director Uwe Boll, \u201che freaked the fuck out,\u201d according to a source from Hammer\u2019s camp. Hammer stars in the movie as Michael Sanders, the titular vigilante who goes after criminal, rapist migrants in Europe. \u201cThe first time he saw it, he was in tears,\u201d says the source. \u201cHe called me and said, \u2018Fuck. This is hateful, disgusting.’\u201d According to the source, Hammer feels like he didn\u2019t really know what he was signing up for. \u201cI think he knew it certainly leaned toward the right, but Uwe works in a very frantic way\u2026. It\u2019s not like he sent him a hundred-page script. When he saw the final product, he was, \u2018That was not the movie I thought we made,’\u201d the source says later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Assuming that\u2019s true, Hammer was probably hoping that the movie would be able to fly under the radar. Elon Musk, however, made sure that didn\u2019t happen<\/a>, platforming the movie on X, the Everything App, ultimately helping it find global distribution<\/a> and plans for a sequel. (Hammer\u2019s mouthpiece credits the movie breaking through as a testament to the actor\u2019s starpower.) As disgusted as he may be by the movie, the source didn\u2019t even totally rule out another appearance from Hammer. \u201cIt would have to be life-changing money,\u201d says the insider. It\u2019s unclear what that would mean for Hammer, but apparently the reported $250,000 he was paid for Citizen Vigilante wasn\u2019t worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By his own admission, Armie Hammer \u201cwould have done a fucking cat food commercial\u201d if it meant getting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-679297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
