Over the weekend, Call Me By Your Name’s Armie Hammer became a trending topic on Twitter, as supposed sexts from the actor circulated on the platform. These ranged from cringe-y conversations about kink to statements like, “I need to drink your blood. Why the distance?” and “I am 100% a cannibal. I want to eat you.” There were completely unverified, but shocking enough to make the rounds on Monday.
Now, a few days later, Hammer has released a statement to E!, expressing that he will no longer co-star alongside Jennifer Lopez in the upcoming film Shotgun Wedding. “I’m not responding to these bullshit claims, but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot, in good conscience now, leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,” Hammer said. “Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”
A production spokesperson for Shotgun Wedding shared their own statement: “Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision.”
