Armie Hammer Really Is Working At A Timeshare In The Caymans
July 10, 2022 / Posted by: Vanessa86



Well, it’s confirmed. If you want a great deal on a part-time vacation home, just pop on over to the Cayman Islands, schedule a meeting with Mr. Armand Douglas Hammer (a.k.a Armie Hammer), and you can get yourself a sweet beachside property! A few days ago, a flier went around claiming that Armie was working as a hotel concierge in the Caymans, but his rep said that flier was fake. But when Armie was spotted helping out at a timeshare office, his rep had nothing to say about that. TMZ now says that Armie is currently taking on his greatest new role: timeshare salesman.

Fine young cannibal Armie has had a weird run of it. In 2021, shit hit the fan for him when he faced investigation for multiple abuse allegations and it was leaked that he dabbled in the practice of sucking ladies’ blood. The disturbing revelations led to Armie’s wife Elizabeth Chambers leaving him, Hollywood blackballing him, and his eventual relocation to the Caymans. The news around Armie subsided for a bit until rumor spread that Armie found a new gig flogging timeshares. via TMZ:

Armie Hammer is indeed working as a timeshare salesman in the Cayman Islands … the actor was heard pitching the benefits of owning property in the beautiful vacation spot.

Armie is very much in salesman mode … you see him sitting with a couple and going over pricing for a unit.

A prospective buyer in the office says Armie was outlining a plan that would cost $2,020 per week … or, as the “Social Network” star put it, only about $21,000 for 10 years of vacations!

Armie delivered that sales pitch last month. Vacationing couples were enticed to go to the timeshare office through a flyer that promised discounts for excursions on the island.

Here’s one of the riveting pics of Armie trying to sell a timeshare:

But 10 years of vacations for only $21K?! Now THAT’S a bargain. These timeshares don’t even need Armie the salesman. No one knows if he’ll make a grand return to film or if this is a permanent move. I mean Hollywood can offer you adulation and admiration, but does it give you a snazzy-looking polo uniform and juicy commission for every property sold? Armie likely won’t be leaving anytime soon though what with the impending release of a Discovery+ documentary about all his family’s dirty laundry. Bribes, murder, light cannibalism. You name it, the Hammers are into it! While Armie prays that everything will just blow over, he’ll have to keep meeting quota and rattling off all great reasons one NEEDS to get into a timeshare. I suppose as a former actor he’s used to reading from a script, but this one comes with a breakdown of monthly payments and housing association rules. It’s not Shakespeare but someone’s gotta read it!

So I don't like shaming anyone over their employment status because a job is a job.  But why is it always the creepy assholes who end up going out and getting a "real" job?  I thought he could just languish with family money for the rest of time?  Or did he use it all up paying people off?

[sputnik]

interesting. i wonder if it will turn out to be true or not?
even with the scandal and the legal troubles, he was never really facing any charges so i doubt his legal fees were that much, and between what he made and family money, i have a hard time believing he needs to work for money. i guess it's possible he's doing it for shits and giggles, or for something to do, or as part of his rehab or something if he's actually serious about that. but i'm skeptical.

[trixie]

*snort* fine young cannibal. I dunno, he's only 35 so that's a lot of years ahead of him to live off his own and family money. And he's gt 2 little kids to support. (although I admit I don't have a clue how much family money he actually has) From what little I know of him, seems he's spent the last 10 years or so trying to be the next big thing in Hollywood, never quite made it, and now with these allegations I think it might be awhile before he is asked back, if ever. So I guess selling timeshares isn't a horrible way to bide his time, especially in the Caymans. As long as he's not luring single women into the condos for some blood sucking.

[no]

maybe working doing something in the meat industry would have been better for him.

[sputnik]

maybe he should just embrace his reputation and start doing ads for barbecues or something?

[waterslide]

Sorry Armie, this name is already taken. 

[emkat]

This whole thing is so weird.

[chaz]

Maybe he's researching for a role or filming a reality TV show

Robert Downey Jr. Has Supported Armie Hammer Through Crisis

A source close to Hammer tells Vanity Fair that the Iron Man actor, who has been through recovery himself, paid for Hammer’s nearly six-month rehab stay.

Robert Downey Jr. Has Supported Armie Hammer Through Crisis

When Armie Hammer found himself at the center of a dark crisis last year involving shocking allegations of emotional abuse, manipulation, and violence, it was Robert Downey Jr. who stepped in to steer the actor toward rehab, a source close to Hammer tells Vanity Fair.

In fact, Downey, who has battled his own highly publicized Hollywood scandals and addictions, paid for the actor to spend nearly six months in the Florida rehabilitation facility the Guest House, the source confirms.

The treatment center, situated on a secluded 52-acre estate in Silver Springs, “cater in particular to clients who have high-stress or high-visibility lifestyles such as business executives, politicians and entertainment professionals,” according to the facility’s website.

Multiple people speaking to Vanity Fair last year alluded to unresolved trauma in Hammer’s past, as well as ongoing substance abuse issues.

“Everyone looks at Armie thinking that he’s had some sort of privileged life—and that must mean there were no problems in his youth and everything was peachy keen,” said a close friend of the actor’s. “But that’s not necessarily the way things go. Just because you come from an upbringing where financial resources are plentiful doesn’t mean life isn’t without problems.”

Since completing his stay in rehab last December, Hammer had been enjoying a low profile in the Caymans, working on his recovery, and spending time with his family, says the source. The actor’s estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers, the founder of Bird Bakery who has reportedly signed her own entertainment deal, has supported Hammer throughout the process, telling friends she wants what’s best for their family.

Last week, Hammer’s discreet recovery in the Caymans was interrupted suddenly when a viral tweet returned the actor to headlines.

Desus & Mero producer Muna Mire posted a photo of a pamphlet for the family-owned vacation club Morritt’s Resort that featured a snapshot of Hammer and identified him as a “personal concierge” to incoming guests.

“My friends’ parents went on vacation in the Cayman Islands and Armie Hammer was their concierge I’m still not over it,” Mire wrote, before deleting the tweet.

Since the surprising social media claim, both TMZ and Variety have reported that the actor is working as a timeshare salesman.

An attorney for Hammer told V.F. Wednesday, “I can’t confirm or deny the report because Armie hasn’t addressed it. I just think it’s shitty that, if he is selling timeshares, the media is shaming him for having a ‘normal job.’”

Hammer was so besieged by press in the Caymans that, on Friday, he flew with Chambers and their two young children to Los Angeles to escape the scrutiny. While in town, Hammer has been staying at a home owned by Downey and has attended an A.A. meeting in Malibu, according to the source.

In addition to providing Hammer a temporary place to stay, Downey has been providing Hammer financial assistance until he gets back on his feet, according to the same person. (Representatives for Downey have not yet responded to Vanity Fair’s request for comment.)

Hammer was named for his oil-tycoon grandfather Armand, who died in 1990 and was estimated by Forbes to be worth about $180 million. But Armand’s death incited an epic battle over the estate that still simmers three decades later.

Throughout his film career, Hammer prided himself on his financial independence from his family. “I’m really proud of that,” he said. But the actor confessed in 2017 that his finances were so tight that he couldn’t pay out a bet he had made to Call Me by Your Name filmmaker Luca Guadagnino. “It would literally bankrupt me, and I need to buy diapers tomorrow.”

Last year, Hammer was dropped by his talent agency WME after several women took to social media to accuse the actor of emotional abuse, manipulation, and sexual violence. (No charges were ever filed, and Hammer has denied all allegations.) The actor, who is in the process of divorcing Chambers, retains Andrew Brettler, a Hollywood lawyer who now also represents Prince Andrew.

On Wednesday, Variety reported that Hammer was employed by the resort and selling timeshares.

“He is working at a cubicle,” a source told the trade. “The reality is he’s totally broke, and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family.”

While Hammer has no current intention of permanently returning to Los Angeles, according to V.F.’s source, a Hollywood comeback may not be out of the realm of possibility. The person points to Downey’s own epic Hollywood redemption story as an example.

In 1996, the Oscar-nominated actor was stopped for speeding by police who found heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and an unloaded .357 Magnum in his car. In the aftermath, Downey checked into a series of rehabs only to break out. “It’s like I have a shotgun in my mouth and I’ve got my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gunmetal,” the actor told a judge in 1999.

After just under a year in prison and another arrest in 2001, the actor checked himself into rehab. At his lowest point, according to The Guardian, Downey was “homeless, nearly bankrupt and virtually unemployable.”

Downey’s career might have flatlined had it not been for another actor, who stepped up to support him in his hour of need: Mel Gibson.

“Everybody was set to write the guy off, and it was hard to watch, because he’s so fucking talented,” Gibson told V.F. in 2014. “And so you think, What’s happening there? And you know he’s his own worst enemy. He’s flawed. We’re all flawed. My God, I’m more flawed than he is! It’s something you recognize and have empathy with, but the guy made this amazing bid for life that’s nothing short of astounding.”

Thanks to a lucrative deal with Marvel, Downey earned $50 million from The Avengers alone and another $75 million for 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. As he told G.Q. in 2019, “I’m what’s known as ‘a strategic cost.’”

Armie Hammer has been “cut off” from the family dynasty established by his great-grandfather, Armand Hammer.



“His dad won’t help him anymore and he’s been cut off, so he got to work,” a source told People of the actor who is reported to be working in the Cayman Islands as a timeshare salesman.

While the well may have run dry for Armie following the “cannibal” scandal that landed him in rehab, the Hammer family continues to live high on the hog thanks to great-grandad Armand establishing himself as a billionaire oil tycoon in the 1950s with Occidental Petroleum, running the company from 1957 until his death in 1990.

According to 1996’s “Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer” by Jay Epstein, the mogul was involved in number of scandals himself, ranging from money laundering to Soviet espionage.



Bypassing his own son Julian, the business was ultimately passed down to Armie’s father, Michael, who continues to run the Hammer International Foundation, the Armand Hammer Foundation and other organizations under the family name.



Armie’s attorney Andrew Brettler told Page Six Friday following reports of his client working in the Cayman Islands that he could not, “confirm or deny the report because Armie hasn’t addressed it. I just think it’s s–tty that, if he is selling timeshares, the media is shaming him for having a ‘normal job.’”



In addition to the reported new gig, a source close to the disgraced “Call Me by Your Name” star told Vanity Fair that Robert Downey Jr. quietly paid for Hammer’s six-month stay at Florida rehab facility and has allowed Hammer and his family to stay at his house to avoid recent media scrutiny.

Cut off from the family fortune... so that's why he's a salesperson.

[MsDark]

Wow. That's certainly generous of RDJ. I hope it pays off.

I guess he's an embarrassment to the family so they cut him off.

I guess everyone can't be as lucky as Prince Andrew.

They probably are very embarrassed, but that may not be the complete motive in cutting him off. Hopefully, there were some loving decisions made to bring "Armie" back down to earth and into leading at least a semi-productive life, which no doubt includes being responsibly involved in his children's lives, and working with their mother to establish stability for all of them. Hopefully.

[czb]

it kinda sucks they outed him.

but i want to know how they knew it was him?! i couldn't pick him out of a line up.

[greysfang]

I wonder if levitt has seen this story yet.

[no1novice]

At least he got a job.
