Celebrity gossip can be hard to stomach, but a recent story involving actor Armie Hammer just plain sucks.
In a video posted to his Instagram story on Saturday, the "Call Me By Your Name" star filmed his 2-year-old son, Ford, playfully sucking his dad's toes. As expected, the grotesque sight did not sit well with many of the actor's fans.
"Checking why Armie Hammer is trending really was the biggest mistake of my life."
Along with the since-expired video, Hammer added the caption, "This happened for a solid 7 minutes...," adding the hashtag, #footfetishonfleek. The video was taken by Hammer's wife, Elizabeth Chambers, who could be heard telling her husband, "This is not normal."

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SENSITIVE CONTENT
In response to Hilton's post, Chambers issued a now-deleted statement on the video, claiming the act was "an ongoing joke" among her family, and that the safety of their child is "always our first priority."
"It's wasn't seven minutes... more like five seconds," she wrote. "Our son likes to play with people's feet and I put the video on our family stream because this phase is an ongoing joke. Sharing the video on Instagram was def not the best move on [Armie's] part, but I can assure you that our children's safety and well-being is always our first priority."
Despite the apology, the video appeared to be too horrifying to forget for many social media users. Hammer's name soon became a trending topic on Twitter, with many curious users being unprepared for the sights they were about to behold.
