He went to Grace Christian Academy, which he father set up and then they moved back to Los Angeles, where he went to Calvary Junior High School and L.A Baptist High School. He left school when he was in 11th grade to pursue acting and took classes at Pasadena City College and UCLA.
Smaller roles came before Hammer got his breakthrough role in “The Social Network,” a film about the making of Facebook in 2010, where he played the Winklevoss Twins. The next year, he was in “J. Edgar” with Leonardo DiCaprio followed by “Mirror Mirror” in 2012 and “The Lone Ranger” in 2013 where he acted alongside Johnny Depp. In 2015, he was in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” with Henry Cavill and was in “The Birth of a Nation” in 2016.
That same year, Hammer was in “Nocturnal Animals,” “Mine” and “Free Fire.” He also was the voice of Jackson Storm in the animated movie “Cars 3.” Hammer was in the Oscar winning movie, "Call Me By Your Name" with Timothee Chalamet in 2017.

In 2010, Hammer married Chambers and they had two kids together, Harper and Ford Hammer. In July 2020, Chambers filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
In the recent years, Hammer has been swirling in controversy revolving around claims involving sexual assault, violence and cannibalism fantasies that came out in 2021. He has not been seen in any films since “Death of the Nile” and was allegedly dropped by his agency WME and taken out of multiple projects.
It has been reported that Hammer is now selling timeshares at a Cayman Islands Hotel to make ends meet. Hammer himself has not yet spoken on whether or not the claims are true.
