Armie Hammer has been vocal about his hatred for filming the dance scene in “Call Me By Your Name” but now he has proof.

The actor posted a behind-the-scenes clip of the cast filming the scene on Instagram. It shows the group dancing and bobbing along to music that isn’t playing.

“For anyone who thought I was exaggerating how terrible filming dance scenes is…. (this is in between takes trying to keep the non-existent vibe alive),” Hammer captioned the post.

Hammer explained the logistics of filming the scene in an interview with James Corden on “The Late Late Show.”

“When you’re filming a dance scene, what they don’t tell you is there’s no music. None,” Hammer says. “Like, you get this [snaps his fingers] for like three seconds, and then they cut the click track.”
