Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp are the leading stars of Disney’s “The Lone Ranger,” with Armie playing the Ranger and Depp Tonto. At the film’s Disney premiere in California, Hammer admitted to being happy he was done with the mask.

Check it out in the video below, courtesy of ET Online.

Asked whether he put the mask to other uses as well, outside the movie set, Hammer provided the most unexpected answer: he wished he had, but he never did because he was quite sick of the thing.

“I wish it was [true that I love the mask] ‘cause it'd be such a good story to play into, but unfortunately, I wore that thing for ten months through some of the most arduous conditions you could ever make a movie in, including blizzards, sandstorms, lightning strikes, heat waves, the whole thing,” he says.

“So, now for me, if I look at that mask I don't feel anything other than, ‘Ugh!’,” the handsome actor adds.

The video also includes a brief interview with Johnny Depp and many other actors involved in the film.
