Armie Hammer Opens Up on His 20-Joint-a-Day Habit
My name is Maya Rivers and I drift through these lines like a whisper on the wind, observing Armie Hammer’s marijuana revelations as if they were verses in an unexpected smoke-filled sonnet.
A curtain of jade-green haze rises on July 28 when Armie’s longtime friend Ashton Ramsey joined him on the Armie HammerTime podcast to declare bluntly that “the only vice you had was that you smoked more marijuana than anyone on earth.” Armie gave a rueful nod and admitted that at his Hollywood zenith he puffed through upwards of 15 to 20 joints a day. The star of Call Me By Your Name conceded it was “probably true” and laughed about his penchant for “poisoning people” with laughter and lingering effects until they could barely locate their own feet.
In a melodic recollection of fame-fuelled days, Armie painted an extravagant picture of life on a private jet provided by studios during promotional tours. He and Ashton would land in a new city for just hours, step off the plane at five in the evening, and take to the skies again by two in the morning. When asked “What do you want for when we take off?” they would cheekily request a fusion feast of thirty Big Macs lined up next to Nobu sushi platters. Such opulent absurdity felt like a surreal dream to the young actor, who tasted the world one airline mile and every manicured menu at a time.
The green haze eventually drifted away as darker clouds gathered. After sensational allegations surfaced in 2021—claims of cannibalistic fantasies and misconduct that Armie forcefully denied—his screen presence dimmed. Yet the 38-year-old demonstrated resilience worthy of a comeback verse. In January he teased that he was turning down roles because “my dance card is getting pretty full.” Indeed, Hammer now headlines Uwe Boll’s forthcoming vigilante thriller Dark Knight and is set to appear in the western epic The Frontier Crucible, proving that even the deepest smokescreens cannot obscure a determined star for long.
Armie’s candor about habitual indulgence and studio-sponsored glamour offers a rare glimpse behind the red velvet rope of celebrity life. It is a story of extremes—of relentless work, epic highs and private jets stocked like high-end grocery aisles—woven together with the humility of a man who can laugh at his past excesses.
As the final embers of this confession glow, one must wonder what scenes await in the next act. Will Armie leave the green trails behind for sober scripts, or will his on-screen vengeance in Dark Knight mirror a more personal reckoning? Only time and the next podcast episode will tell.
And so, as the smoke clears from this celebrity reverie, the melody of confession lingers—an ode to fame’s fleeting highs and the art of turning a new page under the spotlight.
