Armie Hammer Is Having None of James Woods' Homophobic Tweeting

James Woods has been ruffling a lot of feathers recently with barrages of homophobic and otherwise troll-worthy tweets. This week, though, actor Armie Hammer couldn't keep quiet after Woods started tweeting hate toward a gay relationship in Hammer's new movie. Woods took particular exception to the seven-year age difference between the two characters in the film. The problem is, as Hammer pointed out, the septugenarian Woods  has an established habit of dating young women who are between four and five decades younger than himself. Homophobia is one thing, but hypocritical homophobia is a whole different ball game.

Armie Hammer shut down James Woods for tweeting negatively of gay romance “Call Me by Your Name,” in which Hammer plays an older man who embarks on a romantic journey with a younger teenager.

On Saturday, Woods retweeted conservative writer and commentator Chad Felix Greene’s status, which read, “24 year old man. 17 year old boy. Stop.” Woods added, “As they quietly chip away at the last barriers of decency. #NAMBLA”

After many chimed in, calling it things like “moral decay. depravity. evil” and “so sick,” Hammer shut down Woods with one simple tweet:

Woods is an odd one to object to the characters’ age difference in the film. According to Business Insider, Woods started dating Ashley Madison when she was just 19 years old. He was 59 at the time. They split seven years later, and Woods started dating 20-year-old Kristen Bauguess when he was 66. According to multiple media reports, the couple is still together.

The lush coming-of-age drama from Luca Guadagnino (“A Bigger Splash”) stars Timothee Chalamet as an American teenager living in Italy with his family. They take in a handsome American student in Hammer, who serves as an academic assistant to Chalamet’s professor dad.
