Armie Hammer is selling his pickup truck because he could no longer afford gas
Armie Hammer announced on Instagram that he is selling his beloved pickup truck because he could no longer afford its gas.
According to the Hollywood actor, he got the black truck as a Christmas gift to himself in 2017.
“I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across country multiple times and on long road trips,” he said. “And I took it for one last road trip to [used car shop] CarMax. This is not an ad for CarMax. This is because I'm selling my truck.”
Since Hammer has been living in Los Angeles again, “I have to put about four or $500 worth of gas in it, and I can't afford it. I can't afford the gas anymore.”
Clearly sentimental over his decision, the actor shared some of his memories with the truck including bringing his kids home from the hospital, and sleeping in it during trips.
In fact, it's all because of the good memories that his two kids feel unhappy about his decision to unload his truck.
He's turning a lot more eco-friendly with his transportation choices though, as Hammer said he has a smaller, hybrid car now.
“It's my birthday [on] August 28, I will be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life in Los Angeles.”
Hammer is best known for starring in “The Social Network” and “Call Me By Your Name.”
In 2021, several women came forward alleging the actor physically and sexually abused them. Hammer denied these but the allegations has both left him and been dropped from acting projects.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's office and the Los Angeles Police Department performed an investigation but did not pursue criminal charges against him, citing insufficient evidence.
