the actor Armie Hammer, Best known for “Call Me By Your Name” (2017), has been one of the protagonists of social media this week for some alleged and controversial messages of extreme sexual content and for having left shortly after the tape he was going to head with Jennifer Lopez.

The strange soap opera about Hammer began over the weekend when allegedly private messages from the actor appeared anonymously on the networks detailing some of his sexual fantasies, which in some cases were very disturbing.
“I need to drink your blood” or “I’m one hundred percent a cannibal” are some of these messages that Hammer allegedly wrote. The actor’s name was a global trend for days and, several days later, it still is today.
The controversy over Hammer continued Wednesday when he announced he would finally not be in “Shotgun Wedding,” the comedy in which he would share the lead with Jennifer Lopez.
“Shotgun Wedding” will tell the story of Darcy and Tom, a couple facing their impending marriage with many doubts and their respective families helping very little to relax the situation. To complicate matters further, the wedding ceases to be a party when all the guests suffer an attempted kidnapping.
After Hammer’s release of this film, those responsible for the film will look for a new performer to continue the project. However, the actor took advantage of the ad about “Shotgun Wedding” to argue that the controversial messages were not his.
“I’m not responding to these fucking lies, but in light of the vicious and spurious internet attacks against me I can’t leave my children in good conscience for four months to shoot a movie in the Dominican Republic,” tell Variety magazine to try to close a controversy that is still very much alive on the networks.
