Armie Hammer has claimed he doesn’t have enough money to pay for gas anymore.

Hammer has taken to Instagram to reveal that he’s been forced to sell his truck because it costs too much for him to run.

“Since being back in LA, I have put about four or $500 worth of gas in [my truck] and I can’t afford it,” the actor said in an Instagram video he shared Tuesday. “I can’t afford the gas anymore.”

“But you know what? That’s OK,” he continued. “I got a new car. It’s tiny. It’s hybrid. I’m probably going to put $10 of gas in it a month.”

Hammer, who turns 38 today, also shared why it is so difficult for him to get rid of his truck.

“I bought this for myself in 2017 as a Christmas gift for myself … and I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across the country multiple times and on long road trips,” he noted.

He also recalled picking up his children in the truck after their births, noting they would not be happy about his selling it.

Hammer shares daughter Harper, 9, and son Ford, 7, with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers.

His career fell apart after multiple women accused Hammer of sharing sexual fantasies with them that involved cannibalism.

The first allegation came from the anonymous Instagram account House of Effie. Unverified screenshots allegedly showed messages sent from Hammer to an unidentified woman detailing BDSM acts and admitting the actor was “100 per cent a cannibal.”

Paige Lorenze, the actor’s ex-girlfriend, alleged Hammer had the desire to smoke and eat her ribs, which was “definitely disturbing.”

“He was talking about finding a doctor to remove my ribs that I don’t need – the ribs that are on the bottom – and that he had a smoker at his house. He wanted to smoke them and eat them,” Lorenze previously told Fox News Digital.

“He wondered how they would taste, and he basically was like, ‘I bet you they would taste good.’”

At least two other women came forward with similar stories and the actor was also accused of rape. Hammer denied all allegations at the time.

In 2023, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced Hammer would not face any charges related to the allegations.

“Sexual assault cases are often difficult to prove, which is why we assign our most experienced prosecutors to review them,” spokesman Tiffiny Blacknell told Fox News Digital at the time.

“In this case, those prosecutors conducted an extremely thorough review but determined that, at this time, there is insufficient evidence to charge Mr Hammer with a crime.”
