Armie Hammer announced he is starting “a new life in Los Angeles” in a video posted to Instagram Tuesday, in which he says he must sell his truck because he “can’t afford the gas anymore.”

“I’ve been back in L.A. for a couple of weeks now,” Hammer says in the video, taken at a California CarMax location. “This is my truck. I bought this for myself in 2017 as a Christmas gift for myself, because I’ve had pickup trucks for a long time, and I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across country multiple times and on long road trips. … Since being back in L.A., I have put about $400 or $500 worth of gas in it, and I can’t afford it.”

Hammer was residing (and working as a timeshare salesperson ) in the Cayman Islands after facing public criticism in Hollywood due to sexual abuse allegations made against him in 2021. As a result of the accusations — which included claims of rape, engaging in cannibalistic fantasies and coercing partners into BDSM scenarios — the “Social Network” and “Call Me by Your Name” actor withdrew from several projects, was dropped by his publicist and agent and became the subject of an LAPD investigation. Ultimately, no criminal charges were filed against Hammer, who has denied the allegations and asserted that all relationships were consensual.

In recent months, Hammer has re-emerged in the public eye, participating in interviews on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, Tom Arnold’s “Painful Lessons” show and “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” He has maintained that all allegations of sexual assault are false while acknowledging other “questionable behavior” such as being unfaithful to his wife and “[using] people to make myself feel better.” Hammer expressed that being “canceled” and ostracized from the entertainment industry was “liberating,” but he has also announced that he wrote a screenplay based on his life and hopes to return to filmmaking.

“Here’s to a fresh start,” Hammer said in the video posted on Tuesday. “My birthday is tomorrow. So, on August 28, I will be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life in Los Angeles.”

He reflected on various memories associated with the truck, including driving his newborn children home from the hospital. “Thank you very much,” he said, tapping the steering wheel. “You have been with me for a long time, and I appreciate everything. I hope you take good care of the next owner.”

Hammer mentioned that he already acquired a new car, a “tiny” hybrid that he anticipates will only consume about “10 dollars worth of gas per month.” “I keep telling myself that parking will be easier and fuel costs will be lower,” he shared.
