Armie Hammer issues apology after questioning Stan Lee selfie tributes by fans, celebs
"Call Me By Your Name" star Armie Hammer has issued any apology for questioning the way some celebrities have honoured comic book legend Stan Lee.
Lee, who revolutionized pop culture as the co-creator of iconic superheroes characters such as Spider-Man, Thor and The Hulk, died early Monday at the age of 95.
Hammer, 32, in a now-deleted tweet, had disapproved the culture of posting selfies to commemorate the departed soul.
"So touched by all of the celebrities posting pictures of themselves with Stan Lee no better way to commemorate an absolute legend than putting up a picture of yourself, he had tweeted.
The actor was mercilessly trolled for the tweet.
Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan had posted a reply to Hammer, saying, "Looks like you found a way to use others ways of mourning and their memories to draw some attention to yourself. You sound like a real a**hat."
