The feud began when James Woods publicly started dissing Armie Hammer’s critically acclaimed new film Call Me By Your Name — which doesn’t come out for another two months and is already getting Oscar buzz (and we can’t wait to see it).
The film is about a homosexual romance between a 17-year-old graduate student and a 24-year-old college professor, who Hammer portrays.
Woods took to Twitter to criticize the age gap:
As they quietly chip away the last barriers of decency. #NAMBLA https://t.co/WqAnYxB604
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 11, 2017
The NAMBLA hashtag refers to the North American Man / Boy Love Association, a group that is advocating for pedophilia to be legal in the United States.
Hammer quickly responded with an end-all-be-all response:
Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60.......?
— Armie Hammer (@armiehammer) September 11, 2017
This is referring to Woods’ six year long relationship with Ashley Madison in 2007 — when Woods was 59 years old and Madison was 19. In 2013, after breaking up with Madison, Woods then began dating 20-year-old Kristen Bauguess when he was 66.
Amber Tamblyn — actress who appears in 127 Hours and a re-appearing character in Two and a Half Men — also jumped in, responding to Hammer’s reply by saying:
James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. "I'm 16" I said. "Even better" he said.

Woods later responded by denying the claims against him:
The first is illegal. The second is a lie. https://t.co/0jD1dvtInC

However, he also later admitted that he was a fan of Armie Hammer’s work and tried to write the rest off it off to internet trolls:
Somebody told me the libs are yelping. Troll traffic is up. I don't pay any attention really. I like Armie Hammer as an actor though. A lot. https://t.co/okSCVKeAnj
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) September 12, 2017
Armie Hammer has not responded since his initial tweet.
