He’s largely been out of the public eye for several years, and it seems Armie Hammer’s fall from grace has had an impact on his wallet. In a new video posted to his Instagram page on August 27, Armie announced that he was selling his truck.

Following the news that Armie was selling his truck in favor of a smaller car, many wanted to know more about the reasons behind the sale and why the news made such big headlines. Here’s what we know about why Armie decided to sell his truck and whether he can afford gas.

In the video, Armie shows off his 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup, which he says he bought himself as a Christmas present this year.

“I’ve loved this truck very much and I’ve taken it camping and across the country and on long road trips several times, and I took it to CarMax for one last road trip,” he explained. “That’s because I’m selling my truck. Since I’ve been back in LA, I’ve put $400 to $500 worth of gas in it, and I can’t afford it anymore. I can’t afford the gas anymore.”

Armie said he has many memories of the truck, including camping trips and driving his children home from the hospital. “But you know what? That’s OK. I have a new car. It’s tiny. It’s a hybrid. I’ll probably spend about $10 a month on gas, and that’s it,” he said. “Here’s to a fresh start. Tomorrow is my birthday.”

While it doesn’t look like Armie is broke, it sounds like he’s not exactly rolling in money.

Armie’s star was on the rise for much of the late 2010s, but he began to falter after he was accused of cannibalism and sexual and physical abuse and divorced his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, with whom he has two children.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Armie addressed the allegations and said he had never “eaten human flesh.”

According to reports in PeopleArmie is also trying to get his life back under control and wants to prove himself in this way.

Of course, reports that Armie can no longer afford gas seem strange to many who know that there are several incredibly wealthy people in his family, including his father, who owned several businesses during his childhood.

According to sources familiar with PeopleHowever, Armie doesn’t want to rely on his family name to get ahead.

“He didn’t rely on his family’s money or what people might think because he’s a ‘hammer.’ It seems like he really put effort into the treatment,” the source said.

Of course, it’s likely that if he ever really needed money for gas, someone in his family could help him out.
