“It was pretty great,” Armie mentioned to Bill Maher on being canceled throughout an look on the July 14 episode of his Club Random podcast. “It’s incredibly liberating, because so much of my life leading up to there was being preoccupied with how I was perceived, which now you don’t have to care about.”

“Once everyone just decides that they hate you,” he continued, “you go, ‘Oh, well, then I don’t need anything from you people anyway. I guess I should just learn to be content with myself.’ And then you go do that, and it feels f–king amazing.”

Now, if somebody says they don’t like him, Armie mentioned he’s capable of brush it off, whereas earlier than, “I needed that validation.”
