Armie Hammer has claimed he won't keep his controversial cannibalism allegations a secret from his two children.
The disgraced actor's latest admission was made as part of his newly-launched podcast show, The Armie HammerTime Podcast, which hears him discuss his attempt to put his 'life back together' following a series of shocking abuse allegations.
Back in 2021, the actor, 37, found himself in hot water after group of anonymous women came forward with damning screenshots, claiming they'd each fallen victim to Hammer's alleged sexual aggression.

According to the group, the father-of-two had reached out to them via social media, where he'd communicated several of his fantasies - some of which included a desire to consume his lovers.
While some alleged they had longer-term relationships with the actor, one woman provided evidence that the movie star had expressed a desire to cook and eat one of her ribs.
Though Hammer has continued to deny all criminal accusations made against him, and said any BDSM he enjoyed with former partners was wholly consensual, he has since claimed the incident was an 'ego and career death'.
Thee on-screen star has spoken about his two children - whom he shares with recently-divorced ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers - insisting he won't hide the allegations from them in the future.
He firstly described the idea of his kids - a nine-year-old daughter named Harper and a seven-year-old son named Ford - Googling him in the future as 'really scary'.
Then, after his podcast guest Tom Arnold suggested: "I’m sure you’re so honest that you’ll have those conversations", Hammer replied: "100 percent, when it’s time."
Elsewhere in the podcast, Hammer claimed his abandonment of alcohol had helped him reconnect with his children following the incident.
"I look at how my sobriety has affected my parenting and my ability to show up as a parent,” he explained.
"That’s one of the things that I’m really grateful [for] in terms of where I’m at with my life. I get to actually be a dad."
Hammer also spoke to the press in June for the first time since the allegations came to light, and admitted to having attempted suicide: "A neutron bomb went off in my life. It killed off [everything]."
He continued: "I was standing on the shore and I just looked out at the ocean and thought, ‘Yep, this is it,’ and I just swam out really f*****g far… and was just laying there… [in] a half-assed suicide attempt. [But I thought] I can’t do that to my kids."
