Actor Armie Hammer attends The Trevor Project's 2017 TrevorLIVE LA at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on December 3, 2017 in Beverly Hills, California.Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Dec 7, 2017 10:31 PM UTC Armie Hammer is currently garnering plenty of attention for his portrayal of the casually charming American student Oliver in Luca Guadagnino’s [_Call Me By Your Name_](http://time.com/5042707/call-me-by-your-name-shape-of-water-fearlessly-display-love/?iid=sr-link1), a well-reviewed Oscar contender starring Timothée Chalamet. But in [a new interview](https://www.mrporter.com/journal/the-look/why-everything-is-peachy-for-mr-armie-hammer/2864), Hammer — who lives in California with his wife, [actress](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1467342/) Elizabeth Chambers, and their [two children](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/09/30/armie-hammer-reveals-sex-second-child-jimmy-kimmel/), a three-year-old daughter and infant son — seemed to already be looking forward to promoting his next project. He plays Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s husband Marty in an upcoming biopic, [_On the Basis of Sex_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4669788/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F4), alongside actress [Felicity Jones](http://motto.time.com/4606914/felicity-jones-rogue-one-pay-gap/) in the lead role. And he seems pretty stoked about the new project, for his daughter’s sake. “I made this film for my daughter,” he [told _Mr. Porter Journal._](https://www.mrporter.com/journal/the-look/why-everything-is-peachy-for-mr-armie-hammer/2864) “I want her to have stories of strong women who changed the world from their own ironclad will. I don’t think there are enough of these out there.” The new film will trace the early career of the now-notorious Justice Ginsburg, as she challenged gender barriers on her ascent to occupying one of the highest offices in the land. Hammer also reflected on the [post-Weinstein](http://time.com/5052230/women-sue-harvey-weinstein/) environment in Hollywood. “It seems like this shift is happening,” he said. “The people in power are no longer free to abuse it recklessly, which is great. For so long it was expected that the powerless would just take it.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5055217/armie-hammer-daughter-ginsburg/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5055217/armie-hammer-daughter-ginsburg/"},"headline":"Armie Hammer Has the Best Reason for Making This Inspirational Movie For His Daughter","datePublished":"2017-12-07T22:31:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:09.827Z","description":"“I want her to have stories of strong women who changed the world from their own ironclad will\"","url":"https://time.com/5055217/armie-hammer-daughter-ginsburg/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4069f041da662c5d/6988f44c22fb8511bae23f98/armie-hammer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4069f041da662c5d/6988f44c22fb8511bae23f98/armie-hammer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Trevor Project's 2017 TrevorLIVE LA - Arrivals","caption":"The Trevor Project's 2017 TrevorLIVE LA - Arrivals","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5055217/armie-hammer-daughter-ginsburg/","name":"Armie Hammer Has the Best Reason for Making This Inspirational Movie For His Daughter"}}]}] ```
