| James Woods (L) and Armie Hammer (R) |
Armie Hammer, who stars in the highly anticipated film Call Me By Your Name, slapped back at actor James Woods who dissed the gay romance flick on Twitter and in doing so connected the movie to a group who believes pedophilia should be legal.
The movie features Hammer as a 24-year old American academic who attracts the attention of a 17-year-old Jewish-American boy played by Timothee Chalamet. The flick was a darling at the Sundance Film Festival garnering Oscar buzz for both leading men.
Woods quoted a tweet criticizing the age gap between Hammer’s 24-year-old character and his 17-year-old love interest (played by Timothée Chalamet) and bemoaning the lack of decency.
“As they quietly chip away the last barriers of decency,” Woods tweeted, adding the hashtag for the North American Man/Boy Love Association.
Hammer didn't miss a beat, calling out Woods for dating 19-year-old Ashley Madison when Woods was 59 for more than six years.
"Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60...?"
BOOM!

Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60.......?— Armie Hammer (@armiehammer) September 11, 2017
And then there was this reply that gets right to the heart of the matter:
Gee I wonder what would happen if there were a heterosexual movie where a 17-year-old had a summer romance with a 24-year-old
