Armie Hammer's Childhood and Family

The future actor was born in Los Angeles on August 28, 1986. Businessman Michael Hammer's family—including Armie himself—has always taken pride in their Russian heritage. His paternal great-grandmother, Olga Vadina (née Von Root), was the daughter of Vadim Root, a general in the Tsarist army.

Great-grandfather Armand Hammer—the actor's namesake—was the son of Jewish immigrants from Odessa who later became chairman of oil company Occidental Petroleum. He played a key role in organizing the summit meeting between Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik.

The actor has a tattoo reading "HAMMER" in Cyrillic on his wrist as a tribute to his Russian roots.

Armie's mother, Dru Ann, previously worked at a bank approving client loans. His father Michael Hammer owns Knoedler Publishing and the film production company Armand Hammer Productions. The actor also has a younger brother, Victor.

Armie Hammer spent his first seven years in his hometown before the family moved to the Cayman Islands, returning after five years. Those years away from the big city had an impact. Back in Los Angeles, the teenager missed the palm trees he could climb and the crabs he could hunt. The boy, unaccustomed to TV and computer games, had no clue about his peers' interests.

Despite his family's comfortable income, Armie and his friends still tried to make money in high school. The boys would steal Playboy and Penthouse magazines from their parents and sell them bundled with miniature bottles of hand lotion. Someone ratted them out to the school principal, who opened the would-be entrepreneur's locker only to find stacks of hand lotion. "Why do you need so much lotion?" asked the indignant principal, to which Armie calmly replied: "I have very dry skin."

Armie Hammer's career in the cinema

Young Armand initially dreamed of following in his father's footsteps as a businessman. But after watching a film featuring young Macaulay Culkin outsmarting bumbling burglars, he wanted to trade places with the lead actor. The next morning, he announced to his family that he wanted to become an actor.

In his final year, Armie dropped out of high school to focus entirely on pursuing his dream. He never went to college, though he did take some advanced courses years later.

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2005, he landed a small role as a student in Episode 14 of Season 2 of the sitcom Arrested Development. He soon appeared in TV series like Veronica Mars and Desperate Housewives, again in small episodic roles. He landed more substantial roles in series like Gossip Girl with Blake Lively (playing Gabriel Edwards) and Reaper (as Morgan). His feature film debut came with roles in the family drama Flicka and the horror film Blackout.

He scored his first leading role in the biographical film Billy: The Early Years, which told the story of Baptist preacher Billy Graham, spiritual advisor to US presidents.

Hammer shot to fame in 2010 with his dual role as twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in The Social Network. The film, based on true events, chronicled Mark Zuckerberg's rise to fame (with Jesse Eisenberg in the lead role).

After such a standout performance, the nearly six-foot-five blue-eyed actor caught Hollywood's attention and started landing major film roles.

In 2015, he played KGB agent Illya Kuryakin in Guy Ritchie's thriller The Man from U.N.C.L.E., where he starred opposite Henry Cavill, who played his partner, CIA agent Napoleon Solo. The ideological enemies had to team up to prevent World War III.

After that, compelling projects came his way in rapid succession. In 2016, he appeared in the historical drama The Birth of a Nation, about slave rebellion leader Nat Turner, followed by Tom Ford's intense drama Nocturnal Animals. He then starred in the action thriller Mine, playing a US Army soldier who must survive alone in the Afghan desert. In Free Fire, he played Ord, a Vietnam War veteran. The action unfolds entirely within the confines of an ammunition warehouse. The film's title pretty much tells you what happens next. Beyond his live-action work, Armie Hammer also does voice acting for animated films. He voiced the character Jackson Storm in Cars 3.

In 2017, Call Me by Your Name made a major splash at its premiere, which tells about an unusual love story. Armie starred alongside Timothée Chalamet, known for Lady Bird and Interstellar, exploring the complexities of a same-sex relationship between young men. The film earned four Oscar nominations and won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
