Johnny Depp’s fans areferal. Even Armie Hammer,waybefore his own controversies, was left speechless at the sheer chaos that followed Depp wherever he went. We’re talking fans so obsessed they’d literally try to yank out his hair like it was some kind of Hollywood relic.

Hammer, back then just a guy in awe of Depp’s superstardom, couldn’t believe the madness. Little did he know, his own name would one day send the internet into a meltdown — but forverydifferent reasons.
From Johnny Depp’s wild world to his own scandal: Armie Hammer’s shock came full circle
Johnny Depp’s over-the-top lifestyle didn’t just shock fans; it leftArmie Hammerbaffled years before his own scandal rocked Hollywood.
During an oldWatch What Happens Liveinterview,Hammer recalled howDepp lived “on a totally other planet” while filmingThe Lone Ranger. When an audience asked him about Johnny Depp’s bizarre monthly expenses, he alluded,

Like, yes, the guy lives an extravagant lifestyle—there’s no way around it. But he also lives on, like, a totally other planet. Like, something that I have no idea about. Like, nobody here has any idea the planet this guy lives on.
Because we’d be somewhere in public, and it would turn into a riot. People would attempt to pull out his hair. I mean, it was like—it was not—it’s just like, well, it’s a crazy world. So when you go to a restaurant, they have to close down, you know, part of the restaurant. They put it, like, whole thing.

Restaurants had to shut down sections just for Depp, making his extravagant spending seem more like survival tactics.
Fast forward, andHammer found himselfat the center of an even wilder controversy. In 2021, leaked messages allegedly revealed his extreme sexual fantasies — including a claim that he was 100 percent a cannibal.

Hammer, however, called it all a joke, saying the texts were taken out of context. He even insisted the scandal was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, forcing him to reflect and change.
As for the most chilling allegations? He admitted to eating a freshly removed animal heart, but only as part of a hunting ritual, not for cannibalism or any sexual gratification. He also denied ever intending to “cut off anything” from anyone.

Hammer owned up to being selfish, inconsiderate, and a cad in his relationships, admitting he used women to boost his ego. But in his view, that wasn’t illegal — just awful behavior.
Now single, Armie Hammer claimed the scandal stripped away his ego and forced him to rebuild. In hindsight, he said, it was the best thing that ever happened to him.
