Armie Hammer Admits to Cutting the Heart Out of an Animal and Eating It Amid Cannibalism Controversy; Calls It ‘Male Rite of Passage’

Published by Parlour News

Trigger Warning: The following article contains references to sexual assault and cannibalism. Armie Hammer has recently revealed that he once ate part of the heart of an animal during a hunting trip. He went on to explain, it has been a long-standing tradition associated with hunters. Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Hammer answered a question about whether he cut a live animal’s heart out and ate it raw. He said, “No, you don’t eat the whole heart. One of the traditions is you take a bite out of the heart. You’ve got all your buddies around you, they’re goading you on.” Hammer, who starred in Call Me by Your Name, has faced allegations pertaining to cannibalistic fantasies in the past.

The actor explained, “It’s sort of like an almost overly charged male rite of passage when you go hunting for the first time. Everyone that I know who went hunting for their first time had to do something similar.” He added …
