Does Armie Hammer have a 'creepy crush’ on Julia Roberts? Actor bragged about 'licking' co-star 6 times
Armie Hammer has allegedly nursed a creepy crush on actress Julia Roberts for almost a decade now. The actor, who has been in the news for allegedly distributing disturbing messages about cannibalism and rape fantasies, has been crushing — in the 'weird' way — on the 'Eat Pray Love' actress for years. Recent reports reveal that Hammer's "creepy crush" on Roberts dates back almost a decade.

According to the latest reports in The Sun, a source reveals that when working together on the 2012 fantasy series 'Mirror, Mirror', a scene of the two of them together had led to Hammer reveal his innermost desires. The scene in question sees Hammer lunge for Roberts and licking her neck. In the scene, Julia's character, that of an evil queen, used a 'puppy love' potion on Hammer's character.
Reports claim that the actor creepily recalled afterwards, "I got in like five or six good licks. She smelled of apple cinnamon, man..." adding, “I told myself, 'As you’re licking her do not let drool come out of your mouth.” Following the outrage regarding the leak of his DMs, Hammer dropped out of a TV series where he was supposed to act alongside the 53-year-old Oscar-winning actress, which is based on the Watergate Scandal. However, sources reveal that Roberts might have dodged a bullet now that Hammer dropped out of 'Gaslit'.
A source revealed to The Sun, "He was incredibly excited about this project, in no small part because it would have given him the chance to connect with Julia again," adding, “His crush on her is well known and Julia has always had his back too, though strictly as a friend and acting colleague." The source adds that the two actors got to know each other in the professional space. "They got to know each other on 'Mirror, Mirror' and he’s worshipped the ground she walks on ever since."
The source makes it seem like Roberts was more than eager to work with Hammer on yet another project. "He also sees her as a sort of guardian angel, since she was always asking about his availability and trying to rope him into her projects. Armie wasn't available to be in her last big TV series, 'Homecoming', but she did manage to handpick him for 'Gaslit'."
But just like everyone on the Internet, Roberts is traumatized by the recent developments on social media. “But like everyone else in Armie’s life she will no doubt be horrified at what he’s accused of.” 'Gaslit' is not the only project that Hammer has quit. In wake of the social media controversy, the actor dropped out of his role in a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez.
After his DMs were leaked, Hammer was accused of sending disturbing messages about cannibalism and keeping women as "slaves". In addition to that, House of Effie Instagram account also showed multiple screenshots that the actor's intense sexual tendencies were very real. And just like that, it is another day of Twitter being horrified by Hammer's words, his actions and his fantasies. "Why does Armie Hammer terrify me," one tweeted. "This armie hammer stuff is too weird, don't like," another added. "okay I kind of believe Armie Hammer is a lowkey cannibal freak because no sane person makes a joke about being a cannibal because even as a joke it's real weird like," one user wrote on the social media site. "Kinda bummed I can never watch Mirror Mirror again because I love Lily Collins and Julia Roberts, but you best believe I never wanna look at Armie Hammer again," wrote a user.

Hammer previously responded to the claims in a statement to TMZ, saying: "I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic."
