After news broke that Call Me By Your Name s Armie Hammer had come down with a stomach flu so strong that he needed an I.V., we were not sure he would make it to the 2018 Oscars. (He skipped yesterday s Spirit Awards.) So, would he stay home from the red carpet festivities and watch E! s red carpet coverage from his couch? Would the actor wear sick day sweats (or a tracksuit!) and Instagram his look from bed?

No, Hammer, the chiseled, strong-jawed man that he is, braved the bug and indeed made a cameo on the red carpet in a custom Giorgio Armani suit. He appeared glowing—even at one point, next to costar and Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet—in the rich oxblood number. Another bonus? The deep color proved a stellar choice to conceal any signs that he might be under-the-weather. Keep hammering on, Armie.
