Armie Hammer Confirms He Bit the Heart of Living Animal—But Denies Cannibalism Allegations

But he did explain why he sent messages detailing graphic sexual desires and cannibalistic fantasies.

“Sometimes when you’re involved with a person, and you’re dating, and you guys are having sex and you are a bit of a provocateur,” he said, especially under the influence of drugs and alcohol, “It’s fun to ruffle feathers, and it’s fun to push the envelope little by little.”

He added, “Did I ever have any intention of cutting anything off of anyone or eating anything off of anyone? No. That was never really anything that I wanted.”

This isn’t the first time Armie—who shares kids Harper, 9, and Ford, 7, with ex Elizabeth Chambers—has had to speak on those allegations. He previously shared insight into his sexual kinks that led to those eyebrow-raising text exchanges.

“I like the idea that you are so completely mine,” he said on the Your Mom’s House podcast last month. “I can do whatever I want, and you love it because you know you’re mine. This possession kind of thing, that’s just fun to talk about, especially if you’re drunk or stoned or high at night and you’re texting.”
