Armie Hammer has been rich as hell all of his life. His privilege oozes out of him like rich-person sweat. But Armie has been going through *something* this year. He was in the Cayman Islands for months, locked down for the pandemic, with his wife and their children. Then his marriage fell apart and Elizabeth Chambers stayed on the island while Armie returned to LA. Now Armie is posting Instagrams from Joshua Tree National Park, where he went with his friend Ashton Ramsey. Armie posted this ode to his friend on his 34th birthday:
This one of my best friends, Ashton. For the last 2 months or so I have lived with Ashton, worked construction with Ashton, and hiked with Ashton every day. He has been such a good friend (and boss) and has been the most supportive friend anyone could ever ask for. Today might be my birthday, but I just wanna say thank you to @ashtonramsey and say I love you dude.
Question: has Armie Hammer, who is rich as hell, been working construction since he and Elizabeth split? I would really like to know. As for a bro-trip to a national park on his birthday… that actually sounds nice. It’s better than Armie rolling out some new girlfriend, you know?
Anyway, I was already keeping my eye on Armie Hammer, Construction Dude, when Elizabeth posted an IG from the Cayman Islands, where she’s apparently hunkered down with their kids, and the kids have just started their school term:
So… Elizabeth just has custody of the kids and she’s been the only parent for months while Armie works construction in LA and goes on bro-trips? Whew. I guess people deal with the stress of divorce in different ways, but Armie seems to be going through something else.

The post is… weird. Sounds like one of those Amnesty presentations of a refugee or a child in need referred to in his first name and then asking us to give some money to the cause.
And by ‘construction’ I believe that he may have been doing some volunteer work or building a summer cabin some place. He may be having a rich heir epiphany and become the next Buddha, who knows? 😂
Edit: a quick search shows that his friend “this is Ashton” owns a building company and lives the life. No big mystery.
My assumption was that ‘working construction’ is nothing like what the people who need to work in construction (or anywhere else) actually do week in and week out when they don’t have $£€.
Oh, absolutely.
That’s just about what I’d expect.
There have been a lot of rumors about Armie and his cheating self. Even for a celebrity, he is quite prolific. Apparently his wife would regularly take his phone and messages the women he sleeps with. Screenshots have ended up on instagram. They had a screaming match in front of people at a birthday party last year. I don’t think the the pandemic had anything to do with the demise of their relationship. Armie is messy as hell and some people aren’t made to be married. He is one of those people. I hope he is enjoying ruffing it like a normal, working construction and learning new knots to tie his many, many women up with.
90% of “happy” showbiz couples seem to be totally fake and/or open marriage underneath it all.
He seems like one of those rich kids that liked to have “day jobs” when they were young. To pretend they are one of the people. While they always have the security blanket of money to protect them. Or by “construction” maybe he put some shelving up in his mansion and felt manly.
My thoughts exactly. He’s doing some basic manual labor and will stop when it gets too hard or he gets too bored and loses interest, whichever comes first.
If I had to guess, “construction” means that he’s helping with the renovations on one of his friends’ homes – work but not necessarily employment and certainly not anything that’s putting him out in public.
Isn’t the Cayman Islands an offshore bank haven outside US jurisdiction? Gorgeous place to be quarantined but curious choice.
Yes, it is. My dad took us there for vacation one year so he could put money in a bank in GC. I think that’s now illegal and you have to tell the IRS.
He does have a new girlfriend, and is rolling her out into public view slowly even as we speak. She’s a hungry Instagram “business woman” who seems to have run in his circles for a while. She’ll be public before long. Incidentally, fake blonde, fake lips, fake tan, fake boobs, wears bikinis practically for a living.
Texas Barbie? Have you not seen Page 6?
He’s just been spotted with Rumer Willis too. Arm around hips. Agree with the comment up there that he seems as messy as hell. He was good in Call Me By Your Name though.
