Armie Hammer Talks Sex & Marriage for 'Elle' July 2013

Armie Hammer is sexy eye candy for a feature in Elle‘s July issue (with Shakira on the cover), out on newsstands now!

Here’s what the 26-year-old actor had to share with the mag:

When thinking back on crazy, pre-married-life in LA: “One chick tried to stab me when we were having sex. I should so not be telling this story. She was like, ‘True love leaves scars. You don’t have any.’ And then she tried to stab me with a butcher knife. Of course I promptly broke up with her…seven months later.”

On marriage (to wife Elizabeth Chambers): “I like the idea of marriage. I like the idea that I have a best friend. It’s just really comforting. I remember being single and trying to date, and it was just stressful and hard. It wasn’t fun. This is fun.”

On never taking advantage of family money: “For a while in our marriage, it was pretty tight and we liked that. We like living sort of hand-to-mouth. It makes you appreciate the time when you don’t have to live like that. We didn’t want to go to my parents and tuck our tails between our legs and be like, ‘Can you help us?’ We wanted to be our own adults. Also, there was once another Hammer, by the name of MC, who spent all of his money really quickly, and I would like to avoid that.”
