Armie Hammer, known for his roles in “The Social Network” and “Call Me By Your Name,” has announced he is selling his truck due to financial difficulties. In a recent Instagram post, the actor revealed that the rising cost of gas has made it unaffordable for him to keep his beloved 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup.
Since relocating back to Los Angeles, where he was born, Hammer has faced significant financial strain. “I have put about four or five hundred dollars worth of gas in it,” he shared in a video clip. “And I can’t afford it. I can’t afford the gas anymore.” Hammer disclosed that he has purchased a smaller hybrid car, which he estimates will only require about $10 worth of gas per month.
The actor expressed his emotional attachment to the truck, which he bought as a Christmas gift for himself. “I have loved this truck intensely,” Hammer said, reflecting on the memorable experiences he had with it, including taking it on camping trips and long road trips. He also noted sentimental moments, such as bringing his children home from the hospital. Hammer, who has two young kids—daughter Harper and son Ford—shared with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, described the truck as a symbol of many cherished memories.

As he moves on to a new phase in his life, Hammer acknowledged the significance of this transition. “Here’s to new beginnings. It’s my birthday tomorrow,” he told his followers. He is preparing to start a new chapter in a new car, new apartment, and a renewed life in Los Angeles.
Hammer’s decision to sell the truck follows a series of career setbacks. Since allegations of abuse emerged in 2021, including claims of rape and physical abuse, his career has faced significant turbulence. Despite denying the allegations, Hammer was dropped from several high-profile projects, including a role in the film “Shotgun Wedding” with Jennifer Lopez and a part opposite Julia Roberts in the series “Gaslit.” Additionally, he was let go by his talent agency, WME, and his publicist.
In a recent appearance on the “Painful Lessons” podcast, Hammer described the impact of these events on his life and career. “It’s almost like a neutron bomb went off in my life,” he said. “It killed me, it killed my ego, it killed all the people around me that I thought were my friends that weren’t.”
As Hammer faces these personal and professional challenges, his post about selling the truck serves as a poignant reminder of the drastic changes he has experienced and the ongoing adjustments he is making in his life.
