Armie Hammer was unfiltered on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday.
The actor, who stars in the drama Birth of a Nation, began by telling the story of how he celebrated his 30th birthday in August while he was shooting a movie on location in Australia. «We didn’t do a big thing. My wife was down there and we had our daughter down there and she was like, ‘Let’s just go to dinner and have a little date night, just the two of us.’ I was like, ‘This sounds really great. We’ll get a babysitter. Oh, I’d love a date night! This sounds great,'» he said. «We go out to dinner and we go out to this restaurant that we love—a little Indian restaurant down there—and they start taking us to the back of the restaurant. I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ We come around the corner, and it’s everybody. It’s everybody from the cast, everybody from the crew. She threw a huge surprise birthday party for me. It was fantastic!»
But in the moment, did the party disappoint Armie in any way? «I thought I was going to get laid,» he joked. «‘Now I’m with a bunch of strangers. What the hell? What is going on here?»»
«It was good fun,» Armie added. «Maybe too much fun. I don’t know.»
Armie won’t have a chance to party once Baby No. 2 arrives «next year.»

«They check to make sure it’s not balls, correct?» Jimmy joked.
«I checked in the process of making the baby,» Armie quipped.
Armie and Elizabeth Chambers Hammer‘s daughter, Harper Hammer, «loves» the idea of being a big sister. «I mean, she seems to love it now. If you go, ‘Where’s the baby?’, she’ll rub mama’s belly and kiss her stomach. It’s really cute,» Armie said. However, he said, Harper may not stay that sweet. «I think when the new baby comes out it’s going to be a serious adjustment period.»
With a last name like Hammer, Armie has tons of baby names to choose form. «We’re thinking Jack,» he joked, telling Jimmy he could also call it «Michael Charles, and he can just go by M.C.»
«Are you really thinking about that?» Jimmy asked.
«I think I just gave away our baby name?» Armie said. «I’m in so much trouble!»
«It could be a girl named Michael,» Jimmy suggested. «There are occasionally girls named Michael—not Michael Charles—but it could definitely be a Michael.» But, upon further reflection, the late-night host broke the bad news to Armie: «Wow, you are in a lot of trouble.»
Armie knew he would be in the doghouse after the show. «I’m going to get several phone calls from several people about this,» he said. «I’m glad this is the only talk show with an open bar.»
