A corner table at Pace, a dinner companion no one can name, and a paparazzi lens that found him anyway. Armie Hammer is moving through Los Angeles like a man who has decided the quiet part is over.
Deuxmoi posted photos Wednesday of Hammer, 39, having dinner with an unidentified woman at Pace, the Italian restaurant in Laurel Canyon, credited to Backgrid. Neither Hammer nor the woman has commented, and the account did not name her.
The sighting lands in the middle of a comeback Hammer has spent two years building. After 2021 abuse and assault allegations effectively ended his career, Los Angeles prosecutors declined in 2023 to charge him, citing insufficient evidence. He launched the “Armie HammerTime” podcast in 2024 and has since signed on to the western “Frontier Crucible” alongside Thomas Jane and William H. Macy.
Hammer’s return is one of the louder tests of how Hollywood handles a public figure who was investigated, never charged, and is now asking for the work back. A table for two at Pace is the version of that story that fits in a single frame.
