Armie Hammer Details Smoking More Than 20 Joints of Marijuana a Day
Originally appeared on E! Online 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.'' More from E!

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.'

Armie Hammer Says He ‘Smoked 20 Joints' A Day In Shocking Confession
Armie Hammer shared that during a certain period in his life, he "smoked close to 15-20 joints" a day. Armie Hammer is back in the spotlight, this time for his comment about his past drug use. Speaking with longtime friend Ashton Ramsey on a recent podcast, the actor revealed that there was a period in his life when he smoked nearly 15 to 20 joints a day. He admitted he enjoyed getting others high to the point where they felt lost or confused. The Call Me By Your Name star jokingly called it 'marijuana roofing." Armie Hammer's Heavy Marijuana Use On a recent episode of The Armie HammerTime Podcast, the actor said, 'I loved poisoning people. I loved smoking marijuana with people to the point where like they were like, 'I'm so stoned I can't find my feet.' I loved marijuana roofing. I think at that point in my life I was smoking upwards of like 15 to 20 joints a day." Ashton Ramsey talked about a time when Armie Hammer got into trouble because of his marijuana use. He recalled an incident where Armie gave Johnny Depp too much weed right before a press event for The Lone Ranger. Johnny ended up getting so high that he couldn't come out of his room for interviews. The team had to check on him and even tried to pull him out, but he was too high. Remembering the moment, Armie said, 'They never let me hang out with Johnny on the press after that. They would always keep us apart. They never let us press together. They were like, 'You two cannot hang out anymore.'" Armie Hammer's Past Controversy Armie Hammer has stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, following serious accusations and a sharp fall from Hollywood fame. A few years ago, some of his ex-girlfriends had accused him of 'rape and even disturbing behaviour related to cannibalism", which the actor has denied. In a 2023 interview with Air Mail, he said that what happened with his ex, Effie Angelova, was mutual. Around the same time, Hammer was also in the middle of a divorce from his wife, Elizabeth Chambers. The couple has two children together, a daughter named Harper and a son named Ford.

Elon Musk to be played by Emmy nominee Ike Barinholtz in OpenAI comedy-drama ‘Artificial'
In a casting move already sparking buzz, Emmy-nominated actor Ike Barinholtz is set to portray tech magnate Elon Musk in Artificial, an upcoming comedy-drama from acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino. The film, currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios, revolves around the chaotic few days in November 2023 when Sam Altman was fired and swiftly reinstated as CEO of OpenAI . Known for his roles in The Studio and as co-creator of Running Point, Barinholtz's casting hints at a satirical tone, with Musk reportedly appearing in scenes described as both comic relief and villainous. The project also stars Andrew Garfield as Altman and Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, bringing high drama and tech-world intrigue to the big screen. Elon Musk's screen time in Artificial: Comic relief or corporate villain? According to leaked script details reported by Puck's Matthew Belloni, Elon Musk is portrayed in scenes of 'villainy and comic relief.' At one point, the script allegedly refers to him as a 'dictator.' While Musk only appears in a few scenes, his presence looms large. As a co-founder of OpenAI who left in 2018 and later launched rival company xAI, Musk's relationship with the firm has soured in recent years. He's currently embroiled in legal battles with OpenAI, making his on-screen depiction all the more intriguing. A tech soap opera: What Artificial is about by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Artificial dramatizes the real-life events surrounding OpenAI's surprise firing of Sam Altman in November 2023. The company's board claimed Altman was not 'consistently candid,' prompting internal turmoil that saw hundreds of employees threaten to quit. Within days, Altman was reinstated following overwhelming staff and investor pressure. Guadagnino's film is said to focus on this high-stakes corporate power play, blending humor and tension to explore the growing pains of one of the world's most influential AI companies. The real drama between Elon Musk and OpenAI Musk has repeatedly criticized OpenAI, accusing it of betraying its non-profit roots and forming a 'closed-source' partnership with Microsoft. In 2024, he filed a lawsuit claiming he was misled into co-founding the company. His $97.4 billion takeover bid in 2025 was publicly rejected by Altman, who cheekily responded on social media: 'No thank you, but we will buy Twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.' OpenAI has since countersued, accusing Musk of launching harassing legal claims and damaging its reputation. Behind the camera: Big names and big ambitions Director Luca Guadagnino, known for Call Me By Your Name and Challengers, brings an auteur's eye to the chaos of Silicon Valley. The film is written by Simon Rich, former Saturday Night Live writer and creator of An American Pickle. With Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov also reportedly cast, Artificial is shaping up to be both a sharp satire and a timely commentary on power, ego, and the future of AI. Artificial is expected to begin filming later in 2025 with a planned release sometime in 2026. While still in development, the film has already captured public curiosity, especially given its portrayal of some of the most powerful and controversial figures in tech today.
