Actor Armie Hammer quit Twitter after slamming BuzzFeed for an article it published about him claiming his career is owed to being a privileged white man

Actor Armie Hammer quit Twitter after slamming BuzzFeed for an article it published about him claiming his career is owed to being a privileged white man.

Hammer, whose film Call Me by Your Name won best picture at the Gotham Awards in New York on Monday night, hit out at the essay titled Ten Long Years of Trying to Make Armie Hammer Happen.

Article author Anne Peterson questioned whether his career is owed to being 'a beautiful, pedigreed white man,' affording him opportunities to fail and come back.

The 31-year-old, who is named after his great-grandfather oil tycoon Armand Hammer and believed to have a net worth of $200 million, deleted his Twitter account after posting one last tweet at the BuzzFeed writer.

'Your chronology is spot on but your perspective is bitter AF. Maybe I’m just a guy who loves his job and refuses to do anything but what he loves to do…?' he said to BuzzFeed's senior culture writer.

The article recounted Hammer's career and the film roles he got, the ones that he was promised but didn't materialize, and the fact he continued to be offered roles despite appearing in a string of flops over the years.

The premise was that he kept getting 'second chances' because of his privileged background and the color of his skin.

While the fact that he was able to inhabit the role of 'rich a**hole' was because he had had a lot of practice in his real life.

And despite his string of blockbuster failures: 'Hollywood would never give up on a guy that handsome, that tall, that white, with a jaw that square.'

Adding that no one gets second chances in Hollywood the way straight white men get them.

The Lone Ranger actor, clearly upset by the insinuations, dramatically quit Twitter taking a swipe at Peterson before leaving.

Following the feud, fans flocked to Twitter in droves to call out BuzzFeed and express support for the actor.

One user described the article as 'straight up nasty' and tweeted: 'Just attacking an actor and his career for absolutely no reason... And now he's left Twitter because of it. Not coll at all.'

Another fan wrote on Twitter: 'Going after Armie Hammer for being a good due that manages to keep getting work despite a bomb or two is the definition of picking the wrong fight.'

Meanwhile, Hammer is on the cover of the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter talking about the abuse perpetrated by people in positions of power in Hollywood.

'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,' he told the trade publication.

'The system seems to be shaken, and thank God,' he added.
