In a surprising and rather unconventional birthday gift, actor Armie Hammer revealed that his mother, Dru Hammer, bought him a vasectomy for his 38th birthday. The shocking revelation came during an episode of Hammer’s podcast, “The Armie HammerTime Podcast,” where Dru joined him as a guest.
A Surprising Conversation
According to Armie, the conversation started when his mom called him on his birthday and asked, “Armie, what would you like for your birthday?” Expecting a more traditional gift, Hammer replied, “I don’t know, maybe money. Whatever.” But Dru had something much more unique in mind. “I was like, ‘I believe I’m going to give you a vasectomy,'” she told her son on the podcast.
A Challenge Trip to the Clinic
Armie went on to share the details of his experience at the doctor’s office, where he had to schedule the vasectomy procedure. “I go to a doctor’s office, and I go, ‘I’m here to schedule a vasectomy,'” he said, noting that the staff tried to talk him out of it at first.
“He was like, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ I’m like, ‘I have two beautiful kids. I don’t want any more kids. I’m good to go.” Hammer clarified, citing his two children with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers.
There was an awkward interaction at the receptionist’s desk.
However, paying for the procedure was the most awkward. Hammer, who has been open about his financial struggles since 2021, admitted that he didn’t have insurance at the time and couldn’t cover the cost himself. “They attempt to convince you otherwise.
” I’m like, ‘You’re not going to talk me out of it. I’m done. I’m good,'” he said. “There was no way my own credit card could cover it.” Therefore, Hammer had to tell the receptionist that his mother would pay. “I told her, ‘My mother’s going to be calling you, and she’s going to be paying for it,'” he recalled.
The receptionist’s bewildered reaction
The receptionist’s reaction was priceless. “She was looking down, and she [looked up] and went, ‘What?’ I replied, ‘Yes, my mother gave me this as a birthday present,'” Hammer said. “It was just one of those situations where you could tell she was hearing something and was like, ‘I’ve never heard—what are you talking about?'” Hammer said. Indeed, my mom had a vasectomy performed on me for my birthday.
Dru Hammer’s Reasoning
Dru, a Catholic, explained her reasoning behind the unconventional gift. “As a Catholic, I’d prefer he wait until marriage,” she said. However, she acknowledged that Armie already has two children, so “the ship has sailed.” Dru’s solution? Dru is considering a vasectomy to prevent any further unforeseen events.
Armie Hammer’s Reaction
Despite the awkwardness, Armie was more than pleased to accept his mother’s unique birthday present. “I gladly accepted my mom’s offer, expressing my intention to stop growing the family,” he expressed.
Conclusion
Armie Hammer’s mother, Dru, gave him the most unexpected gift on his 38th birthday—a vasectomy. While the experience may have been a bit uncomfortable, it seems Armie is content with his new “family planning” arrangement.
