said on “Armie HammerTime,” adding, “Gay dudes seem to have it so easy, like, so easy!”He described meeting a “handsome French” dude. “I was like, ‘Okay, this could work.

This could work. Yeah. Let’s try this.’”He then offered a blow-by-blow retelling of his bisexual experiment: kissing, groping and, ultimately, the realization that the other man’s beard and masculine build were a turnoff.“It did physically for me absolutely nothing,” he said. “Nothing, like, not even a twitch.”Speaking of doing nothing for him, there’s this conversation.I’ve argued that we as a culture need to make room for folks like Hammer, who became #MeToo roadkill after being convicted in the court of public opinion.But shaddap already.

Maybe it’s not the studly “Call Me by Your Name” star we need back — but shame.We are, undoubtedly, in the golden age of celebrity TMI.Everyone has a podcast, and they’re dying to bombard you with tawdry tidbits. The more outrageous, the better.Many celebrities don’t bother creating art anymore.

The new showbiz is hawking lurid personal revelations — for clout, online influence, or to sell whatever crappy product they’ve slapped their name on.It’s cheap and undignified.
