20 Descriptions of Armie Hammer’s Voice in the Call Me By Your Name Audiobook

You’ll be in tears by the end of André Aciman’s 2007 novel Call Me By Your Name. Turning that last page feels like being rudely cast out of the love story between Elio and Oliver, two men who must be together, who have to be together, because, in the words of Faith Evans, “I never knew there was a love like this before.” But if you’re going to be heartbroken, at least let it be via Call Me By Your Name’s audiobook, read gorgeously by the upcoming film adaptation’s star, Armie Hammer, whose voice is the audio equivalent of ordering a Lyft Line and having it all to yourself.
 
In this new excerpt from the audiobook, out October 3, teenage Elio (played in the film by Timothée Chalamet) describes having sex for the very first time with Oliver (Hammer), the 24-year-old graduate student studying under his father for the summer. Elio’s had a crush on Oliver for weeks, and in this scene, we finally learn the significance of the book’s title. In this excerpt (and at all times), Hammer’s voice is brimming with such melody that, if you listen to it long enough, you can probably get drunk off it. Because you’ll need a way to explain to your friends why you have to cancel on your plans because you have a date with Armie Hammer’s voice, here are 20 descriptions of that supernatural sound:
 
 
1. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds a little like Jon Hamm’s voice, if Jon Hamm’s voice was dunked in honey.
 
2. Hearing Armie Hammer say “fuck” in the Call Me By Your Name audiobook makes it totally fine that he had to say “Let’s gut the friggin’ nerd” in The Social Network, because, you know what, some things are just worth the wait.
 
3. To hear Armie Hammer say “languorous” is to feel like Obama is still president, he’s just taking a vacation, but he and Michelle will be back in the White House soon.
 
4. Armie Hammer’s voice is the physical manifestation of those wooden decorative signs at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx that sell for $24.99 that say “Your Husband Called And Said It’s Ok To Buy Anything You Want.” Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like the fantasy of luxury.
 
5. Sometimes, when Armie Hammer is in the heat of a particularly vivid description, Armie Hammer’s voice sounds a little like the man who does the Men’s Wearhouse commercials. You know, the guy who says, “You’re going to like the way you look,” and now you kinda want to Google the nearest Men’s Wearhouse. You know, just in case.
 
6. I suspect that Armie Hammer’s voice would smell like linguini, seasoned with Tasmanian pepper and lemon with Parmesan cheese on top. I’d need to speak with Armie Hammer in person to confirm this.
 
7. You know when you’re a regular somewhere? And there’s a long line, but, say, the barista or the clerk or the tailor motions you around the long line because they’ve got your order ready? That’s what Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like.
 
8. Armie Hammer’s voice is so deep and viscous it sounds like when Beyoncé performs “Love on Top” live and she sings the chorus again and again and again and again, but that last time she sings “Baby it’s you,” she switches it up and
! 
9. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like it’s soaked in maple syrup and — surprise! — you’re at Bubby’s, and there’s no line, and lucky for you, your James Beard pancakes with peaches have just arrived to your table.
 
10. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds as euphonious as Oprah’s voice, which is quite possibly the highest compliment you could ever pay another human.
 
11. The way Armie Hammer says “kiss” feels like you have literally been kissed, not by his lips, but by the sun itself. You took a picture of this sun-kissing, posted it to Instagram, and you’ve gotten a lot of likes.
 
12. The way Armie Hammer says, “Call me by your name and I’ll call you by mine,” feels like a shared secret too tender for this savage and cacophonous place called the internet, but here we are.
 
13. Armie Hammer’s voice feels like when you’ve decided to take a nap, but to hell with setting an alarm! You’ll wake up when you wake up, and everyone texting you will have to deal with it!
 
14. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like when the violins come in on Nelly’s “Grillz,” which is to say that it sounds like the ideal combination of highbrow and lowbrow.
 
15. Armie Hammer’s voice sounds like the opposite of that swish-swish a nylon sweatsuit made in the ’80s, because Armie Hammer has never worn nylon, he exclusively wears corduroy or linen.
 
16. The timbre of Armie Hammer’s voice is identical to the timbre of the bells ringing on the last day of school, when you could dump the entire contents of your backpack into the dumpster right in front of the teacher who wouldn’t round your 89 percent up to an A-.
 
17. Armie Hammer sounds so sumptuous and moneyed, you might think you’ve paid off all of your student loans.
 
18. Armie Hammer’s voice inexplicably sounds like he’s both speaking to you and listening to you and deeply interested in every fleeting thought that pops into your head, even the ones about Mother!
 
19. Hearing Armie Hammer’s voice is like going to the salon and getting a really good shampoo, where they use a little bit of tea tree oil and massage your temples and then say it’s on the house.
 
20. There’s such melody in Armie Hammer’s voice that the devil has to work overtime to get a new Nickelback song in the world, just so everything stays in balance.

@MartyB, you are so right - he is elite!

If you're interested, there's an interview here.
 
The movie he is best known for...

It's a love story for the ages... With a little hip-thrusting and glitter thrown in for good measure:
 

Yes. Thank you! Obviously my search skills are lacking. Lol
 
Just last month, when they had to cancel gay pride in Austin, I was at one of my younger (28) friend's house and he had never seen the movie and was only vaguely aware of who Mama Cass was. I made him watch this movie. Gay 101.

This?

I love everything about this movie. Here is the kiss in the poppy field scene.
 

My experience is Eddie is straight and doesn’t give a HE either. Waste of time

It has been forty years since the untimely death of Maria Callas who many consider to be the supreme diva of the Twentieth Century. Fortunately the legacy of La Divina lives on!
 

A good friend decided to leave the Hollywood Hills and move to Santa Rosa. Unfortunately, he had been there only two weeks when he was diagnosed with a particularly nasty kind of cancer, and discovered that the medical care in Santa Rosa was not up to dealing with it. He had to go to USF for treatment, and ended up having to rent an apt in SF to live in while recovering and having daily treatment, because when you are ill, traveling into SF from Santa Rosa regularly is just not practical. He never did get to live in the beautiful retirement home he had bought in Santa Rosa because he didn't survive, so I don't know what he would have thought of the place.
 
Ashland is gorgeous, but it is not cheap to live there. We looked at the area very seriously last year, when we were thinking of leaving Palm Springs, and found that the nearby city of Medford was more reasonably priced. A ten minute drive from Ashland, there is a large, beautiful continuing care retirement community in Medford, on a hill overlooking the city, at which we spent two days as guests. However, we found that our hosts were the only gay couple among the 1000+ residents, sort of the token gays so the community could claim it was diverse. The area is reliably conservative Republican. If you are interested in the area, however, PM me for details about the options there.

Long Island, NO. Hair gel boys with gold neck chains... Boring. I am the Queen from Kew Gardens, Queens.... and they will carry-me away from here in a lacquered pine box.

Santa Fe is great and the winters are not awful. The only problem is that it is terribly expensive to live there. About the only middle class consists of government employees -- it is the state capitol. There is a very large, wealthy snowbird population which has caused home prices to skyrocket.
Taos on the other hand does have rather severe winters. It is much higher in altitude than Santa Fe and receives a lot more snow. The traffic is the area is also gawd awful.
You might want to consider Albuquerque. Some of the suburbs are very nice and it is only about fifty plus miles south of Santa Fe. The winters are even milder than Santa Fe and the summers are not outrageously hot. Frankly if I weren't rapidly approaching 77 I would seriously consider moving from Southern California to Albuquerque. My problem is that all my friends and my family are in Southern California and as I age the most important consideration is that my doctors are all here.

Ah! Glad you mentioned Eureka Springs. Heard about it and would like to visit there. I've heard similar good comments about Asheville, NC.
 
I love Palm Springs but the hot weather in the summer worries me as did the icy weather of the great white north when I lived in the upper Midwest. I agree with jjkrkwood that being set in our ways, staying put can make a lot of sense. One can always travel, which is what so many retirees do right?

I just retired, and have lived in NYC all my life. I thought about a change of locale, but ultimately, at 66 I couldnt imagine uprooting myself and starting all over in a place where I knew nothing and noone. Whether we like to admit it or not, we get "testy" as we age, and low on patience, and therefore its even harder to make new friends. Being old and alone in a new place was not not my idea of The Golden Years.
 
So here I am, staying in NYC and going thru an apt rennovation as my "NEW START"..... Although I can "make it here", I just wasnt sure "I could make it anywhere", so its NEW YORK, NY.....

MMmmm...I've always lusted after Mr. Hammer since I first saw him play those twins in The Social Network! Armie is dreamy indeed!!!
