It appears as though Armie Hammer’s marital woes might have began long before he and his soon-to-be ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers quarantined together for several long months in the Cayman Islands. As a matter of fact, there’s a new report that suggests actress Lily James flirted with Armie while on the set of the Netflix movie Rebecca together. Here’s what you need to know.
According to the Daily Mail, Elizabeth apparently pulled the plug on her marriage after she discovered texts from a mysterious woman on his cell phone. The passionate messages were apparently signed by a person named ‘Adeline,’ leaving Elizabeth absolutely devastated. Apparently, Lily was referred to as Adeline on the Rebecca call sheets and on her trailer.
Lily James Reportedly Flirted With A Married Armie Hammer On The Set Of Rebecca
As many fans know, this is the same Lily James who was recently spotted canoodling with a very married Dominic West on the set of their film The Pursuit of Love in Italy. Sources tell the publication that Lily openly flirted with Armie, even though she knew he was a married father of two.
“She was not subtle. And he was into it, no doubt about it. She was touching him constantly, giving him long, smoldering looks,” the source said.
Even though Lily was completely devastated and heartbroken over the texts, insiders say that she and Armie decided to go to couple’s therapy in the hopes that they could work things out in their marriage. However, the Hollywood actor did admit that the stress from their quarantine in the Cayman Islands let them to make the decision to end things earlier this summer.
Speaking to GQ in a new interview, the actor makes it no secret that his lockdown experience with his father, his father’s new wife, his own wife Elizabeth Chambers and their two children took a huge toll on his mental health.
That’s because the family was restricted to staying inside their home, and couldn’t even go out to the pool, the beach, or even a store or a gas station. Things got so bad that Armie and Elizabeth announced their separation in June.
He told the publication, “We got stuck down there during quarantine. My dad lives out there with his new wife….The experience sucked so badly. The island itself handled the situation really efficiently, but they also handled it in a really intense way. It was a very draconian lockdown. They wouldn’t fly anywhere, or at least not to America. Everything was closed. I mean, everything – the gas stations, the grocery stores… Everyone just locked themselves in their house. If you’re out and they see you, you go to jail for a year. I am not kidding. One guy violated curfew by five minutes and they put them in jail for four months. They were not f–king around. I was in an apartment with my dad, his new wife, Elizabeth and our two kids. We’d be looking out at the ocean, but couldn’t go in the ocean; looking at the beach, but couldn’t go on the beach. We couldn’t leave the apartment, couldn’t go in the pool, couldn’t do anything. So it was a really concentrated family time, which is really great with the kids, but it was intense.”
Armie says that he clearly didn’t handle the lockdown very well and that eventually, he sought therapy. He said, “I don’t think I handled it very well. I think, to be quite frank, I came very close to completely losing my mind. I just felt completely powerless. And I was on an island where the lockdown was so severe that mail couldn’t even come in. I’ve been in therapy before, but this was a dire situation. And now I just think everyone needs to be in therapy, period, across the board. Everyone needs to be talking to someone and if you’re not, you’re doing something wrong.”
