In an interview for the ‘Painful Lessons’ podcast, the “Call Me By Your Name” star said that, as a result of the whole scandal, her career was ruined and she had to look for other options and now she feels happy to be out of it. Hollywood.
“Whatever people said, whatever happened, I’m now in a place in my life where I’m grateful for every little thing, because where I was in my life before all those things happened to me I didn’t care. I felt good, I never felt satisfied, I never had enough, I was never in a place where I was happy with myself.”
“I never knew how to give myself love, I never knew how to validate myself, but I had that job where I was able to get it from so many people that I never had to learn how to give it to myself,” he said.
But before he could feel grateful, Hammer revealed that he went through a difficult time and even his mental health was affected, to the point of thinking about suicide.
“There were many times when I thought I couldn’t take this anymore. “I was feeling hate… so it just came in… there was a moment when I was standing on the shore and I swam too far away and I was lying there… a half-hearted suicide attempt… But I thought I couldn’t do that to my children,” he added.
