Armie Hammer (Clyde Tolson) is the great-grandson of Occidental Petroleum tycoon Armand Hammer. In his biography of Hammer (the tycoon, not the actor) called "Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer", author Edward Jay Epstein reported that the tycoon had a multi-decade history of being scrutinized and suspected of Soviet ties by J. Edgar Hoover. Armie stated in an interview that he took the role to avenge that scrutiny.
There was actually a huge fight between J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson in a hotel during one of their trips. According to producer and director Clint Eastwood, there are several testimonies of maids that talked about the room being destroyed after the discussion. However, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black dramatized the content of the argument.
According to Armie Hammer, Leonardo DiCaprio and he proposed to producer and director Clint Eastwood to depict the sexual relationship between the characters as graphic, but he refused, arguing the screenplay didn't call for it.
The closing lines of this movie, "Most clearly I remember your eyes, with a kind of teasing smile in them, and the feeling of that soft spot just northeast of the corner of your mouth against my lips..." is a quote from a letter from Lorena Hickok to Eleanor Roosevelt.
In interviews, Armie Hammer was amused because people kept asking him about his first man-on-man onscreen kiss (with Leonardo DiCaprio). He noted that he also got to shoot a machine gun onscreen in the film for the first time as well - but yet nobody asked him about that.
"J. Edgar Hoover: Do I kill everything that I love?"
"J. Edgar Hoover: McCarthy was an opportunist not a patriot."
