Josh Duhamel Says He Reached Out To Armie Hammer After Replacing Him In J.Lo Movie

Being tapped to step in for Hammer, who faces sexual assault allegations, in "Shotgun Wedding" is "not how I like to get roles," the actor said.
Josh Duhamel says he had a blast filming “Shotgun Wedding” opposite Jennifer Lopez, but he’s also aware that his performance in the film is going to draw an unusual amount of pre-release scrutiny. In February, it was announced that Duhamel had signed on to replace Armie Hammer in the romantic comedy, which also stars Lenny Kravitz. The casting swap came after Hammer dropped out of the project amid accusations he’d sent Instagram messages to various women detailing violent sexual acts, including rape and cannibalism. Speaking to the men’s fashion publication Man About Town for its spring 2021 issue, Duhamel said accepting a job amid scandal is “not how I like to get roles,” and noted he’d reached out to Hammer via email to clear the air.More Related News
