Armie Hammer is back on screen, but not in the way you might expect.
The 38-year-old actor made a surprise appearance in the new music video for “Typical Squeeze” by Georgie Leahy, which premiered on Monday (December 2). The playful visual, packed with Barbie-themed elements, includes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from Armie, who is credited as “Kannibal Ken.”
The name, of course, is a cheeky nod to the much-publicized cannibalism allegations that surfaced against the actor in 2021. While his appearance in the video is brief, the credit feels like a knowing wink to the controversies that derailed his career.
This marks Armie’s first on-screen role since starring in Death on the Nile, which was released in 2022. His involvement in the film stirred debate at the time, as allegations against him had already come to light.
The actor has been slowly reemerging in the public eye after stepping back from Hollywood. His next major project, the western Frontier Crucible, signals a tentative return to acting. It will be his first significant film role since the accusations disrupted his career trajectory.
Though his appearance in “Typical Squeeze” is brief, the choice to reference the allegations—even humorously—has already sparked conversations online. Whether it’s a move toward reclaiming his narrative or just a quirky cameo remains unclear.
In the meantime, fans and critics alike will likely keep a close watch on how Armie navigates his Hollywood comeback, as he tests the waters of public perception.
