TheOn the Basis of Sexactor, 32,apologized on TwitterThursday after he criticized celebrities who sharedStan Lee selfie tribute postsin honor of the icon, who died Monday at 95.
“While attempting to provide unnecessary social commentary about the current selfie culture, I (in true a–hat form — thank you Jeffrey Dean Morgan) inadvertently offended many who were genuinely grieving the loss of a true icon,” Hammer wrote.
“I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart and will be working on my Twitter impulse control,” he added.

“If Stan impacted you life (ie. All of our lives) with his work, post his work that touched you the most,” he continued. “Posting a selfies makes his death about you and how cool you felt taking a picture with him.”

TheWalking Deadactor added, “You sound like a real a–hat.”
