The hunky Hammer is featured on the October cover of Details magazine in a photo shoot with Norman Jean Roy at The Brooklyn Navy Yard. Looking all kinds of hot, he talked about moving to LA after growing up in the Cayman Islands, being married to a Texas girl, and not shaving for his new role.
On not shaving his chest for his upcoming role as Prince Charming opposite Julia Roberts: “Julia had a line about how smooth my chest is,” he says, “and it’s not. So the producers were like, ‘Okay, just shave him.’ And I was like, ‘WHOA. I spent 25 years earning this chest hair. I’m wearing purple tights and a codpiece, so, please, let me keep my manhood.’ ”
On moving to LA after growing up in the Cayman Islands: “I went from a place where everybody was friendly to a city with no trees to climb. No crabs to catch. No machete. I had long hair and an accent. I didn’t know who Nirvana was. I didn’t know what the Lakers were.”
On not turning out like an a**hole: “I could have turned out that way and run in those circles,” he says as he ducks to fit his frame through the doorway. “But I’m glad I didn’t. Besides, I have too many real friends, and this wife, who—if I ever acted like that—would smack me so hard, right in the mouth.”
