Part amazing, part WTF?!

If you thought ‘TOWIE’ was dramatic, just wait until you hear Armie Hammer doing a reading from one of its break-out stars’ autobiography.

The ‘Call Me By Your Name’ star was tasked with bringing Gemma Collins’ book, ‘Basically... My Life As An Essex Girl’ to life, as he appeared on Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show. 

And in short, the only way of accurately describing the end result is “amazing, but also... WTF?”

Armie tells the “proper East End love story” of how Gemma’s parents met, successfully making the Dagenham-based tale sound just as dreamy and romantic as anything in ‘Call Me By Your Name’.

Impressed by his dramatic reading, Nick suggested Armie should turn Gemma’s life story into a film, with the actor agreeing to play The GC herself. 

Now this we have to see. 

It is not the first time a Hollywood A-lister has made headlines in conjunction with the ‘TOWIE’ cast. 

Back in 2015, Chris Pratt wowed fans with his Essex accent on ‘The Graham Norton Show’, after confessing he and then-wife Anna Farrs were big fans of the reality series.
