Armie Hammer is opening up about his financial struggles.
The actor may be feeling the pinch from the loss of work amid his alleged cannibalism scandal.
"Since being back in LA, I have put about four or $500 worth of gas in (my truck), and I can't afford it," the actor said in an Instagram video posted Tuesday.
"I bought this for myself in 2017 as a Christmas gift for myself," Hammer, newly 38, said of the pickup truck. "I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across the country multiple times and on long road trips, and I took it for one last road trip to CarMax."
The "Call Me By Your Name" star shared that he has instead chosen to downsize to a hybrid. "I got a new car. It's tiny. I'm probably going to put $10 of gas in it a month."

He has also made other changes, including a "new apartment" and a move back to Los Angeles after living in the Cayman Islands for a few years.
In July, Hammer addressed the 2021 cannibalism and sexual abuse allegations head-on.
In an interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Hammer admitted to branding Paige Lorenze but claimed it "was a scenario that we talked about beforehand."

Lorenze spoke to Page Six in January 2021 about her allegedly abusive relationship with Hammer, including accusations that he carved an "A" into her pelvis.
"To some, it probably sounds really strange. To some, it probably sounds like a very romantic gesture," he said.
Hammer added, "Different people have different sexual fantasies" and that he was simply engaging in BDSM and role play.
In March 2021, another woman, identified only as Effie, came forward, accompanied by her lawyer Gloria Allred, to accuse the movie star of raping and beating her over a four-hour period in Los Angeles in April 2017. Local police investigated the claims but decided not to pursue charges after a lengthy review revealed insufficient evidence to prove the allegations against Hammer beyond a reasonable doubt.
Hammer claimed in his interview with Morgan that Effie "introduced" him to a lot of his sexual fantasies and that "she planned" the alleged scenario.
On X at the time, she refuted that it was consensual. "He raped me. He lied so much in this YouTube video and he wasn't fact-checked. He's always looking for ways to blame his victims."

Hammer's accusers also said he talked about devouring their body parts.
Courtney Vucekovich, who says she dated Hammer for a few months in 2020, told Page Six in January 2021, "He said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it. …He says, 'I want to take a bite out of you.' If I had a little cut on my hand, he'd, like, suck it or lick it."
"You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to have actually eaten someone," Hammer told Morgan, adding that the things he told women bore out of wanting his partners "totally."
Hammer continued, "I don’t think that’s any different than when someone looks at a baby and goes, ‘Oh my God, look at those cute little fat legs, I just want to eat you up.'"
In June, the actor reflected on how the scandal affected his career on an episode of the "Painful Lessons" podcast.
"Everything in my life falls apart. I lose all my representation. I lose all of my work. I lose everything (and) think this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. But when I look at it now with a sense of perspective and albeit a much healthier perspective," Hammer said.
