Armie Hammer admitted he used to have sex as a way to feed his ego.
“People were my bags of dope with skin on it. Having people want to have sex with me, having sex with people, doing all that stuff, like, it gave me a sense of power. It gave me a sense of validation,” he said during Wednesday’s episode of the “Your Mom’s House” podcast.
“What I would do is, I would scoop these girls up, take them on a whirlwind month and a half, road trips, trips, whatever. Like, we’re gonna do all these things. We’re gonna have great sex. Everything’s gonna be awesome.”
Hammer — who was disgraced after accusations of rape and cannibalism — further admitted, “And then I’m gonna bounce and go do it with someone else and leave this person feeling like, ‘Wait. I just was sucked into this tornado of a world and felt like this is my place now and then dropped.’”
“There are aspects of my behavior that I think were coming from maybe not the healthiest place. Then there were aspects of my behavior that were just expressions of my own sexuality,” the actor added, noting that he has been working on himself in therapy.
“So I had to sort of, like, comb through all of that and figure out what’s coming from the right place, what’s coming from a trauma place.”
The “Call Me By Your Name” star, 38, also opened up about his fall from grace in Hollywood, saying he felt like his world was “falling apart” because of the negative attention he faced due to the allegations.
“People were just deeply unhappy with their own lives. And then this salacious story comes around where this actor wants to murder and eat people. And all of a sudden, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, this is so much more fun to focus on than the fact that I can’t leave my living room,” he said.
He also clarified his sexual fantasies, admitting that he’s into tying up partners and “possession.”
“I like the idea that you are so completely mine. Yeah. I can do whatever I want, and you love it because you know you’re mine,” he said.
“And, by the way, especially if you’re, like, drunk or stoned or high at night and you’re texting. And while you’re saying it, you’re, like, chuckling to yourself, like, I’m gonna f–king cut your toe off and keep it in my pocket so I got a piece of you everywhere I go, ha ha ha.”
Hammer went even further, implying that some of his sexual desires were taken out of context.
“If anyone took anyone’s bedroom conversations — specifically, like, if people were having a little bit of sexy time — and they took the s–t that they said, even if it was completely vanilla, and you read that somewhere else out of context, everyone’s gonna go, ‘You guys are f–king disgusting.’”
