Closing out his 30s with a bang — or a snip.
Armie Hammer’s mother, Dru Hammer, revealed she gifted the embattled actor a vasectomy for his 38th birthday.
“Let’s talk about what I gave you for your birthday this year,” Dru began on Monday’s episode of his new “Armie HammerTime Podcast.”
“I call Armie and I go, ‘What would you like for your birthday this year?’ He was like, “I don’t know. Maybe money. Whatever,’” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘I believe I’m going to give you a vasectomy.’”
Although the “Call Me By Your Name” actor didn’t share his initial reaction, he agreed that having more kids was off the table as he already shared two children — Harper, 9, and Ford, 7 – with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers.
After some consideration, the “Long Ranger” actor underwent the medical procedure in August.
“I go to a doctor’s office and I go, ‘I’m here to schedule a vasectomy,’” he recalled, noting that he had to fill out “a bunch of paperwork” and do a consultation beforehand.
“He was like, ‘Are you sure you wanna do this?’ I’m like, ‘I have two beautiful kids. I don’t want any more kids. I’m good to go,’” he continued. “They try to talk you out of it. I’m like, ‘You’re not going to talk me out of it. I’m done. I’m good.’”
However, things got a little awkward when he had to explain the situation to the receptionist.
“The receptionist was like, ‘Are you gonna be putting this on insurance?’” he recalled. “I go, ‘Actually, I don’t have insurance.’ She goes, ‘What?’ I go, ‘Yeah, I haven’t had insurance for years.’”
She then asked if if was going to be “putting it on a credit card,” which he also shot down.
“And I go, ‘Oh no, my credit cards won’t cover this. My mother’s going to be calling you and she’s going to be paying for it,’” he said with a laugh. “And she was looking down and she [looks up] and goes, ‘What?’ And I go, ‘Yes, my mother gave me this as a birthday present.’”
Given the woman’s look of shock, Armie said it was clear she had “never heard” of a similar situation.
“So yeah, my mom got me a vasectomy for my birthday,” he joked.
Dru, who is a staunch Christian and describes herself as a “church lady,” explained that, while she wished her son wouldn’t “have sex outside of marriage,” she knows “that isn’t going to happen.”
“It’s a miracle we don’t have a bunch of little Hammers running around,” she said.
The mother-son duo also discussed the 2021 allegations of physical and sexual abuse that imploded his Hollywood career.
The “Mirror Mirror” actor has vehemently denied the claims, insisting all of his sexual relationships were consensual. He also shot down accusations that he had cannibalistic fetishes.
Armie was not charged with any crimes following a two-year investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, which concluded in May 2023.
However, both he and his mother admitted on Monday’s podcast that he did very “stupid” things.
Despite the police findings, the allegations will live on forever thanks to the internet — a fact the disgraced actor has struggled to cope with.
During an episode of his podcast last month, Armie called the possibility of his kids stumbling upon something online “really scary.”
However, he said he will “100%” have those tough conversations with his kids “when it’s time.”
Chambers filed for divorce from her husband in 2020 after 13 years together due to his infidelity.
