Armie Hammer denies being a hotel worker after a Tweet showing him as concierge goes viral

Armie Hammer has cleared up a rumor that he is now working in the hospitality industry, following a viral Tweet that turned out to be a prank.

The speculations started after a picture of a mock pamphlet from Morritt’s Resort in the Cayman Islands, featuring the actor as the hotel’s concierge, was posted to Twitter. 

However, the 35-year-old Call Me By Your Name star’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler, confirmed to Variety on Wednesday that the post was simply a prank.  

Brettler stated it was a joke done by Hammer’s friends from the hotel, in which he has been living for over a year now, following sexual allegations made against him in 2021.

The since-deleted Tweet’s caption read: ‘My friend’s parents went on vacation in the Cayman Islands and Armie Hammer was their concierge.’ 

The pamphlet included discount vouchers and advertised that Hammer would take guests to swim ‘with wild turtles’ and point them to the ‘best snorkeling and diving spots.’

Morritt’s director of sales, Christopher Butcher, further clarified the situation, telling The Daily Beast that Hammer does not work at the resort.

‘[Hammer] lives in Grand Cayman. One of my staff plays golf with him, and he had come in just to spend a day with one of my staff members to see what we do,’ he stated.

However, Butcher didn’t rule out a future employment possibility for the Golden Globe Award nominee, saying: ‘If it’s generated this much publicity, then maybe!’ 

The prank comes following news that the alleged crimes and scandals involving Hammer and generations of his wealthy family will be the subject of a true crime special a year after the controversial actor’s cannibalism controversy and accusations of rape.

ID and Discovery+ announced a slate of true crime specials, original series and reboots including one centered around the Hammer family according to Variety on Wednesday.

The special – which is tentatively titled House Of Hammer – will examine the scandals over five generations of the Hammer family as the actor is the great-grandson of oil tycoon Armand Hammer.

The show is set to investigate ‘a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.’

The strange past of the Hammer family were discussed in a Vanity Fair expose last year in March 2021 which claimed many of the men going back five generations have been known to have ‘a dark side.’ 

It provides a backdrop to Armie’s life before leaked messages said to be from the actor surfaced in January 2021 showed him claiming to be ‘100 percent a cannibal’ and several women spoke out accusing him of emotional abuse and violent sexual escapades.
