Actor Armie Hammer raised some eyebrows over the weekend when he shared an Instagram video of his 2-year-old son sucking his toes.
The Call Me By Your Name star posted the video on Saturday with the caption “this happened for almost 7 minutes #footfetishonfleek.” The post went viral, with several celebrity gossip sites picking up the video and a number of parents criticizing hammer for letting his son suckle at his toes.

“This is not normal,” Hammer’s wife Elizabeth says in the background of the video.
Elizabeth also issued a correction of sorts after the post spread across the internet. “It wasn’t seven minutes… more like five seconds,” she said. “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 A’s part, but I can assure you that our children’s safety and well-being is always our first priority.” Apparently, the couple took the attacks on their parenting skills to heart.
No word on if Timothee Chalamet will reprise the toe sucking for the Call Me By Your Name sequel.

People are weird! The kid is probably teething. I’m tired of adults putting their weird afflictions on kids… Little girls can’t wear two piece bathing suits. Little boys can’t take their shirts off at a pool. I was on The Shaderoom the other day and people were criticizing the parents of a little latin boy because he was “dancing too proactively”. They’re Latin, it’s a part of the culture. Police the pedophiles, not the kids.

Little boys can’t take their shirts off at pools? I can’t find any data on that. Where did you hear that?

In general people police what kids wear and don’t wear because of “pedophiles being around”… no matter how innocent. Go find the instagram post I’m referencing if you need more clarity.

Armie is a loving Dad. Get over yourselves people.

are we losing our innocence or have we all just become sceptical n judgemental! Just look at Armie’s face! I just saw a very amused dad and nothing more! I guess quite as beauty lies in the eye of the beholder so does filth at times.

I think Armie is in the first stages of his second childhood! Also, foot fetish, is a sexual turn on for some adults, and letting the baby doing it for 7 minutes is beyond the pale ! Besides, the baby could be ingesting spores of Athletes foot fungus (or something else-depending how clean Armie keeps himself!)! I think the whole thing is gross, and self-engrossed Armie should be sent to the Principal’s office!

Professional medical opinion here. What Hammer did was neither medically nor emotionally harmful. Foot fungus will not harm anyone when ingested. Furthermore, many studies have shown that the cleaner an infant’s environment, the more likely s/he will develop allergies as an adult, and have a weaker immune system. It’s one of the reasons having a childhood pet has been proven to prevent adult allergies. In fact, some pediatricians now recommend allowing infants to play and suck on unwashed toys that have touched the ground. Introducing antigens and allergens to the developing immune system is a natural form of vaccination.

Here’s a semi-pofessional medical opinion (pediatrics and immunology are not my fields) . What Hammer did was neither medically nor emotionally harmful. Foot fungus will not harm anyone when ingested. And there is no reason to think that he even has foot fungus. Furthermore, many studies have shown that the cleaner an infant’s environment, the more likely s/he will develop allergies as an adult, and have a weaker immune system. It’s one of the reasons having a childhood pet has been proven to prevent adult allergies.

Happy kid, happy dad, all good. Americans sexualize everything from a young age, no wonder we are screwed up.
