Armie Hammeris selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands for financial reasons, a source tells PEOPLE.
Amid reports that the actor, 35, is working in sales at Morritt’s Resort in Grand Cayman, an insider says he “is currently selling timeshares because he needs the money.”
“His dad won’t help him anymore and he’s been cut off, so he got to work,” the source adds.
The actor’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler, told PEOPLE on Thursday that he “doesn’t know anything about"whether Hammer is selling timesharesbut noted that if it’s true, “I think it’s s—-y that the media seems to be shaming him for having a ‘normal job.’ "
