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.
He
serves a few other purposes as well, as the two men fall into a deep
romance against the backdrop of the gorgeous Italian countryside.
“Call
Me by Your Name” has received rave reviews since its premiere at the
Sundance Film Festival, and will be released in theaters on Nov. 24.
See Woods’ tweet below. A representative for Woods has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
