For his latest role, Armie Hammer is leaning into his cannibalism controversy.
The embattled actor, who in 2021 was at the center of career-derailing abuse and misconduct accusations, makes a brief cameo as “Kannibal Ken” in a newly released music video for Georgina Leahy’s “Typical Squeeze.”
The video simulates scenes from the 2023 blockbuster “Barbie,” opening with Leahy driving a bright blue convertible through palm tree-lined streets.
Roughly a quarter of the way into the video, Hammer appears as a wild-eyed character on the back of the convertible, as the indie rocker sings, “I’m not your typical squeeze.”

Leahy then abruptly turns the wheel of the vehicle, sending Hammer — and what appears to be bloody limbs — flying into the air.
Hammer, 38, has been creeping his way back into the limelight following the 2021 release of unverified text messages allegedly claiming Hammer harbored cannibalistic fantasies. The same woman who anonymously posted those texts of social media later came forward saying he “violently” raped her for hours in 2017.
Several other former girlfriends made similar accusations of mental, emotional and physical abuse, all of which Hammer has denied.
The “Call Me By Your Name” star launched his “Armie HammerTime” podcast in October, using the premiere episode to discuss the allegations that torpedoed his career.
“I’m not going to lie, I kind of like the cannibal stuff now,” he said of the accusations, though continued to deny them.
