Armie Hammer is dubbed Hollywood's new prince charming on the October 2011 cover of Details.
The 25-year-old star of The Social Network next appears as J. Edgar Hoover’s longtime assistant (and lover) in the new biopic J. Edgar.
He's also shooting a role as -- yes -- Prince Charming alongside Julia Roberts in a live-action adapatation of Snow White, and he tells the mag he fought to maintain a little reflection of masculinity in the film.
“Julia had a line about how smooth my chest is and it’s not," he says. "So the producers were like, ‘Okay, just shave him.’ And I was like, ‘WHOA. I spent 25 years earning this chest hair. I’m wearing purple tights and a codpiece, so, please, let me keep my manhood.’”
Though Mr. Hammer comes from a background of privilege, and is heir to a vast oil fortune, he says those around him keep him humble.
“I could have turned out that way and run in those circles,” he says. “But I’m glad I didn’t. Besides, I have too many real friends, and this wife, who—if I ever acted like that—would smack me so hard, right in the mouth.”
