Armie Hammer’s Mom Gifts Him a Vasectomy for 38th Birthday

Armie Hammer is getting candid on the latest episode of his new podcast, Armie HammerTime, and this time, it’s about the unusual gift he received for his 38th birthday: a vasectomy, courtesy of his mom, Dru Hammer. The Call Me by Your Name star dropped this bombshell during a two-part interview with his mom, revealing the unexpected conversation that led to the procedure.

“Let’s talk about what I gave you for your birthday this year,” Dru started, cueing Armie to share the story behind the eyebrow-raising gift. “I call Armie and I go, ‘What would you like for your birthday this year?’ He was like, ‘I don’t know. Maybe money. Whatever.’ And I was like, ‘I believe I’m going to give you a vasectomy,’” she recounted.

Hammer, who shares two children, Harper and Ford, with ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers, took over the narrative with a detailed account of his strange experience at the doctor’s office. “I go to a doctor’s office and I go, ‘I’m here to schedule a vasectomy,’” he said. The actor shared how he was met with a mix of disbelief and routine procedure checks, including a consultation where the doctor tried to make sure he was serious. “He was like, ‘Are you sure you wanna do this?’ I’m like, ‘I have two beautiful kids. I don’t want any more kids. I’m good to go,’” Armie recalled. “They try to talk you out of it… I’m like, ‘You’re not going to talk me out of it. I’m done. I’m good.’”

The real kicker came when it was time to pay. “The receptionist was like, ‘Are you gonna be putting this on insurance?’” Hammer said. “I go, ‘Actually, I don’t have insurance.’ She goes, ‘What?’ I go, ‘Yeah, I haven’t had insurance for years.’ She was like, ‘Oh, OK. Are you going to be putting it on a credit card?’ And I go, ‘My credit cards won’t cover this. My mother’s going to be calling you and she’s going to be paying for it.’” He added with a laugh, “She [looked up] and goes, ‘What?’ And I go, ‘Yes, my mother gave me this as a birthday present.’”

Dru explained why she suggested the unique gift, saying that as a Catholic, she’d prefer Armie didn’t have sex outside of marriage but admitted she knows “that isn’t going to happen.” “I know there are these young girls that would love to have Armie Hammer’s baby,” she joked, prompting Armie to quip, “Maybe when I had money they would!”

The mother-son duo also delved into the darker period of Hammer’s career—the 2021 allegations of sexual abuse and cannibalistic fantasies that derailed his Hollywood success. Hammer, who has always denied the allegations, reiterated that his relationships were consensual. Dru stood by her son, saying, “My son was not criminally wrong. If there was a smidgeon of things that were wrong that you did, as far as a rape accusation, they would have nailed you.”

Dru even shared a moment of shock she had during the scandal: “I even called you one time. I was like, ‘Let me just get this straight. Are there any women out there with limbs or ribs missing?’” Hammer, who faced heavy scrutiny after explicit DMs were leaked, owned up to his mistakes: “I think you learned not to put stupid things in DMs,” Dru advised, to which Hammer agreed, “I was definitely stupid.”

While Hammer is currently navigating life out of the spotlight, his mom is optimistic about his comeback. “I love that you lived up to your wrongdoings when you were on Piers Morgan,” Dru told him.
