"Why didn't you give me a sign?"
"I did. At least I tried."
"When?""After tennis once. I touched you. Just as a way of showing I liked you. The way you reacted made me feel I'd almost molested you. I decided to keep my distance."

Actually, I liked watching them dance together. Perhaps seeing him dance this way with someone made me realize that he was taken now, that there was no reason to hope.

When he came down for breakfast he was wearing my bathing suit. No one would have given it another thought since everyone was always swapping suits in our house, but this was the first time he had done so and it was the same suit I had worn that very dawn when we'd gone for a swim. Watching him wearing my clothes was an un-bearable turn-on. And he knew it. It was turning both of us on.

(The movie has developed a young and enthusiastic online fan base, the type typically associated with YA franchises, not art house fare. That's partly thanks to Chalamet's teenage hormonal following and partly because the film plays out like an elaborately mounted fanfic.)

Armie Hammer
on His Steamy New Movie,*
a Charmed Upbringing and
Oscar's "Double Standards"
by Seth Abramovitch November 20, 2017, 6:00am PST
SHORT EXCERPT (please click link provided for the long read!)
•••
As Luca Guadagnino tells it — and that's with a thick Italian accent and much gesticulation — no one except Armie Hammer could ever have been his Oliver.
The adaptation of Call Me by Your Name had been in development almost since the book's 2007 release. In 2014, James Ivory (the 89-year-old half of Merchant Ivory Productions) came on board to write and potentially direct. Guadagnino, who was born in Palermo, Italy, was brought on as a consultant. By 2016, when the film had secured its $3.5 million budget, he had taken over as director. And he knew who he wanted as his star.
But, despite being "one of the most beautiful scripts I've ever read — I cried," Hammer was positive that Oliver wasn't someone he could inhabit. "There were things in the movie I'd never done on film. Not just the nudity, but the really intimate stuff. It scared me, to be honest." Hammer called Guadagnino to pass — but the director had other plans.
"Filmmakers are like charlatans," Guadagnino says with a devilish smile. "It requires a sort of seduction. So I said to him, 'Think about the fact that maybe your fears are a counterpart of your desires. Don't shy away from your fears!' " By the end of their conversation, Hammer was on board. (Guadagnino even managed to get Hammer to agree to full-frontal nudity — none of which made it into the final cut.)
"Luca is a sensualist," Hammer tells me as we make our way back to the city. "He floats through the ether like he wants to make love to everything. He'll literally be like, 'Ooohh — I love your jeans.' " He leans over and places a hand on my thigh, then slowly slides it toward my knee. "At first you're kind of like, 'Whoa.' " (I too was like, "Whoa.") "But then you're like, 'Yeah! They are really nice! Feel this part over here!'"
To get Hammer and Timothée Chalamet, both of whom are straight, comfortable with the many intimate moments depicted in the film, Guadagnino tossed his actors into the deep end. "It was our first official rehearsal," recounts Hammer. "We're in the field behind the villa — me, Timothee and Luca. And Luca says, 'Let's just start at scene 62.' So we flip to the scene, and the stage directions read: 'Elio and Oliver are laying on the berm making out aggressively.' " What followed was a moment of quiet hesitation. "Then we just went for it. Trial by fire." Chalamet, 21, says their offscreen dynamic was like that of close brothers — watching Mike Tyson documentaries and boxing matches and feasting at their favorite restaurants in Crema, the northern Italy town that served as the film's backdrop.
Tougher even than the love scenes for Hammer was one sequence in which Oliver dances with abandon at a disco to "Love My Way" by the Psychedelic Furs. "That was not fun — I don't really enjoy dancing," he says. "I very quickly become the 6-foot-5 gangly guy that's very easy to spot from across the room." In the scene, the locals, including Elio and some summering French girls, are entranced by the Adonis with the sick moves. "So Luca calls 'action' and literally everyone is ogling me, including, like, 50 extras off camera. And the music's pretty quiet, so we can record the dialogue. Here I am, dancing to this quiet music. And I'm just like, 'I hate myself! I hate my life!' " The scene has already gone viral on social media — as has much about Call Me by Your Name ahead of its Nov. 24 release. (The movie has developed a young and enthusiastic online fan base, the type typically associated with YA franchises, not art house fare. That's partly thanks to Chalamet's teenage hormonal following and partly because the film plays out like an elaborately mounted fanfic.)
Hammer is well aware that the optics of the Elio-Oliver age gap (they are 17 and 24 in the book; Chalamet and Hammer were 19 and 29 during the shoot) will inevitably draw criticism. It did from James Woods, who tweeted in September that the project "chips away the last barriers of decency." Hammer's reply was swift and deadly: "Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60?" — a tweet that drew 64,000 likes. Hammer wasn't expecting his response to go viral; he was merely acting on impulse, irritated that Woods, who hadn't even seen the film, "had no moral high ground to stand on and was cheapening what we did."
"We weren't trying to make some salacious, predatory movie," Hammer continues. "The age of consent in Italy is 14. So, to get technical, it's not illegal there. Whether I agree with that or not, that's a whole 'nother Oprah, you know? Would it make me uncomfortable if I had a 17-year-old child dating someone in their mid-20s? Probably. But this isn't a normal situation: The younger guy goes after the older guy. The dynamic is not older predator versus younger boy."
As for the harassment scandals that have upended Hollywood, Hammer voices his unwavering support for the victims. "It's been permissible for too long for people in positions of power to abuse, and for the powerless to be expected to just take it. The system seems to be shaken, and thank God." But he's also certain that "no such power dynamics were at play in these two characters, and I'm excited for people to see the movie and realize that."
Of course, there's another way to consider Call Me by Your Name in this particular moment, and that's as a rare same-sex love story — one in which, as Hammer puts it, "no one gets AIDS, no one has their personal life destroyed and no one gets lynched." It's also a movie that prizes things like language, intellectualism, foreign cultures and fine art. In other words, a perfect rejection of our current political climate. All of which is to say that this could be Armie Hammer's perfect year.
Just don't ask him.
"I've heard the 'This is your moment' speech so many times," Hammer sighs as we return to the idyllic park where our journey began, the one bearing his great-grandfather's name. " 'I'm telling you, Armie, this movie is going to be the thing.' 'No, Armie, this movie is going to be the one.' The way I look at it is I'm building a collage of my work. Call Me by Your Name is going to do what it's going to do. And then the only thing I really care about is: Can I get more work afterward?"

He had, it took me a while to realize, four personalities depending on which bathing suit he was wearing. Knowing which to expect gave me the illusion of a slight advantage. Red: bold, set in his ways, very grown up, almost gruff and ill-tempered--stay away. Yellow: sprightly, buoyant, funny, not without barbs--don't give in too easily; might turn to Red in no time. Green, which he seldom wore: acquiescent, eager to learn, eager to speak, sunny--why wasn't he always like this? Blue: the afternoon he stepped into my room from the balcony, the day he massaged my shoulder, or when he picked up my glass and placed it right next to me.
Today was Red: he was hasty, determined, snappy.
