Armie Hammer Details Smoking More Than 20 Joints of Marijuana a Day
Armie Hammer isn't shying away from his old habits.
The Call Me By Your Name star recently reflected on his lifestyle at the height of his Hollywood fame throughout the 2010s, including how much marijuana he used to smoke on a daily basis.
As Armie's longtime friend Ashton Ramsey said during his July 28 appearance on the Armie HammerTime podcast, 'The only vice that you had was that you smoked more marijuana than anyone on earth.'
A statement Armie conceded as 'probably true,' adding, 'I think at that point in my life I was smoking upwards of like 15 to 20 joints a day.'
He also spoke to his love for smoking with others, joking he 'loved poisoning people.' By which he meant, 'I loved smoking marijuana with people to the point where like they were like, 'I'm so stoned I can't find my feet.''

Armie and Ashton—who traveled with the Death on the Nile actor throughout much of his career—also reminisced about the lavish lifestyle they were able to live due to his celebrity status, paid for by the studios during promotional periods.
Specifically, while promoting The Lone Ranger—Armie's 2013 film with Johnny Depp—Armie recalled being given a private jet for his own use, allowing him 'to travel around the world,' as well as any food he could want at his fingertips.
'We'd land in a city and only be there for like sometimes a day, or like a night,' he detailed. 'And you'd get in at 5:00 in the afternoon and we leave at 2:00 in the morning. And they would always say like, 'What do you want for when we take off?''
'And that was the thing,' Armie continued. 'We'd be like, 'I don't know, Nobu and McDonald's.' And they're like, 'Okay, no problem. We got you 30 Big Macs and a bunch of Nobu sushi.' It was such a bizarre experience.'
While Armie's time on screens took a bit of a dip after allegations of cannibalistic fantasies and other misconduct surfaced in 2021—all of which he's denied—the 38-year-old recently landed his first major role since the controversy as the lead in Uwe Boll's vigilante thriller Dark Knight. Prior to that, he was also cast in the upcoming western The Frontier Crucible.
As Armie said ahead of the announcements in January, 'I'm turning down jobs. My dance card is getting pretty full.'

Jennifer Aniston suggests Matthew Perry's death 'for the better' amid his addiction battle
Jennifer Aniston has opened up about the deep pain she and her Friends co-stars felt while watching Matthew Perry struggle with addiction, admitting they had been 'mourning' him long before his death. This October will mark two years since Perry – who played the sarcastic and beloved Chandler Bing in the hit US sitcom – was discovered dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023, aged 54. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office determined that he died from the acute effects of ketamine and ruled his death accidental. Appearing on the September cover of Vanity Fair magazine, Aniston spoke on the late actor's decades-long fight against substance abuse, telling the publication: 'We did everything we could when we could. But it almost felt like we'd been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight. 'As hard as it was for all of us and for the fans, there's a part of me that thinks this is better. I'm glad that he's out of pain.' Perry's struggles with alcohol and prescription drugs were well documented, both in interviews and in his 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. In the book, he described how his addictions almost cost him his life, and how his castmates – Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer – rallied around him behind the scenes. Aniston's words echo the sentiment the cast shared in their joint statement following Perry's death, in which they called themselves 'more than just castmates – we are family.' Over the years, Perry credited Aniston with being one of the friends who never gave up on him. She reportedly reached out regularly, offering support even during his most difficult periods. Friends ran for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004 and remains one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, with Perry's quick-witted one-liners and impeccable comic timing cementing Chandler Bing as a fan favourite. Reflecting on his passing, Aniston said the grief is still raw, but so too is the gratitude for the years they shared together: 'He was a brother. We loved him deeply. And we always will.' The September issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands on August 19.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Almost Ended With a Movie
Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise's journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season. However, that apparently wasn't always going to be the case, and the show nearly ended sooner. That's according to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley (a.k.a. Number One) on the show. Speaking this past weekend at the Star Trek convention STLV in Las Vegas, the actress—via TrekCore—revealed that initially, Strange New Worlds would've come to an end after its currently-in-production fourth season, before being capped off with a feature-length movie. According to Romijn, showrunners Henry Alonso Meyers and Akiva Goldsman were able to convince Paramount to change plans, resulting in the six-episode season five. At the very least that means Strange New Worlds fans are getting a little more Star Trek than originally planned (according to TrekCore, Romijn noted that the movie would've been 'just' two hours), even if it still is a truncated season compared to prior ones. But it also speaks to some of the tumult Star Trek has faced in recent years as Paramount has contracted the franchise after years of a streaming renaissance, and the studio itself prepared to seek new ownership (it was made official last week that Skydance's $8 billion takeover of the company had closed). Much of the Star Trek that helped define this new era for the series on streaming TV has wrapped up in the past few years, and with Strange New Worlds joining them in the next few, just one more series remains in production alongside it: Starfleet Academy, which will stream for at least two seasons. What, if any, Trek will come beyond that remains up in the air right now, although the hope of new ownership and a renewed focus on streaming could see a new generation of Trek shows emerge. Right now, much of the franchise's definitive future lies in film, just like Strange New Worlds' almost did. Patrick Stewart has spent the years since the conclusion of Star Trek: Picard suggesting a new film was in the works, and on the theatrical side of things, there's long been the perpetual hope of a fourth 'Kelvin Timeline' Trek film—but there's also Toby Haynes' planned 'origins' film detailing the early years of Starfleet post-First Contact. With all that in mind, a planned streaming movie conclusion to Strange New Worlds at least makes a little more sense. But only a little. After all, despite a rich cinematic legacy, Star Trek fans will likely always insist that the boldly going is just better in a long-form TV format. Who knows—maybe it would've been a better bet than a Section 31 movie turned out to be? Want more io9 news?

Netflix Loosens Its Ties to Harry and Meghan
Netflix is keeping its ties to Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan. But those ties are getting looser. The production company for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has signed a new deal with Netflix, the two companies announced Monday morning. But it's worth less for the royals than their last arrangement with the streaming giant, a person familiar with the deal said. Under a deal signed in 2020, Netflix paid them for the exclusive rights to content from Archewell Productions, the couple's company. The new arrangement is a first-look deal, meaning that Netflix can say yes or no to new film or television projects before anyone else. That gives Harry and Meghan more options, but less investment from Netflix, a sign that the high-profile 2020 deal may not have met expectations. Archewell had intended to make 'inspirational family programming' in documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows and children's television under its earlier deal. But it hasn't made any children's television, feature films or scripted shows. Rather, Archewell has produced documentaries and docuseries, including 'Harry & Meghan,' a show about the couple's exodus from the Royal Palace. A six-part series directed by the filmmaker Liz Garbus and released in late 2022, the show generated 23.4 million views in its first four days, the most ever for a documentary on the service. Three other documentary projects followed — 'Heart of Invictus,' 'Live to Lead' and 'Polo' — though they did not generate the same large audiences. This past March, the company released 'With Love, Meghan,' a cooking, gardening and hosting series starring the Duchess. The show was criticized by some as out of touch, but praised by others as a refreshingly imperfect tutorial on keeping a home. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
