Armie Hammer was spotted while having breakfast with a friend in Pacific Palisades on Saturday afternoon.
The 36-year-old performer cut a casual figure in a puffy jacket, T-shirt and shorts as he spent time with a friend during the public outing.
The troubled actor, who recently had a temporary restraining order dismissed by a judge, opened up about the allegations of sexual abuse that had been directed at him during an interview with Air Mail that was released in February.
Hammer stated that his actions were committed within the context of what he described as a ‘whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions.’
The actor went on to describe the way that he treated women, stating that ‘as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used.’

The performer also stated that he had been sexually abused by a youth pastor at the age of 13, which led to his interest in BDSM.
He recalled that ‘I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation. My interests then went to: I want to have control in the situation, sexually.’
Hammer denied any criminal wrongdoing during the interview and expressed that all of his past sexual encounters had been consensual, although he did remark that the ‘power dynamics were off’ with regard to his various relationships.
The actor went on to recall that, after the allegations regarding his behavior were made public, he began experiencing suicidal thoughts.
He also described a subsequent suicide attempt that took place in the Cayman Islands, stating that ‘I just walked out into the ocean and swam out as far as I could and hoped that either I drowned, or was hit by a boat, or eaten by a shark.’
The actor then remarked that he had reflected on his past behavior and stated that he wanted to own up to his actions.
‘I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that… I used people to make me feel better,’ he said.
The Social Network cast member said that he had come to look at his past experiences as learning experiences, stating that ‘I would not go back and undo everything that’s happened to me.’
He did, however, attribute the downturn of his career to ‘this cancel-culture, woke-mob business.’
Hammer’s estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers, also spoke about her reaction to the allegations during an interview with Elle, where she expressed that she found out about them along with the rest of the general populace.

She recalled that ‘I was learning things as the public was. I was like, “there are no words. What the f***?”‘
The performer, who shares a daughter named Harper and a son named Ford, aged eight and five, with her estranged husband, remarked that she wanted to shield her kids from the media firestorm that surrounded the actor.
The media figure stated that ‘obviously this is all way too much for two children under eight.’
Although Chambers did not make any specific comments about the allegations against Hammer, she did state that ‘boundaries are everything’ in relationships.
