SMASH: In the wake of Armie Hammer’s allegedly leaked messages about his sex life, the Social network star is coming out of action comedy Jennifer Lopez Lionsgate Forced marriage. The play, we hear, will be reformulated.
A production spokesman said: “Given the imminent start date of Forced marriage, Armie asked to stay away from the film and we support him in his decision. “
The messages, which, according to Page Six, were leaked through an anonymous social media account under the name of House of Effie, were direct messages from Hammer, detailing disturbing sexual fantasies.
Forced marriage follows Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (whom Hammer has been cast to play), who bring their loving but very stubborn families together, to the wedding at the final destination, as soon as the couple begins to get scared. And if that wasn’t enough to threaten the celebration, suddenly everyone’s life is in danger when the whole group is taken hostage.
