Armie Hammer nearly missed the Oscars after being hooked up to a drip just hours before the ceremony.

The Call Me By Your Name star posted a photo of himself with an I.V line attached after a reportedly strong bout of flu.

On Sunday, Hammer shared a snap showing him laid out on the sofa with a yellow liquid hooked up beside him.

He captioned: “Oscar prep has taken a strange turn.... thank you @elizabethchambers for taking such good care of me.”

Illness forced Hammer to miss the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, although he did make an appearance via FaceTime on Timothée Chalamet’s phone.

Bedbound, Hammer wrote: “I may be too sick to be at the Indie Spirit Awards, but thanks to @elizabethchambers I am toasting you guys with pedialyte and chicken soup! Go get em guys!”

Hammer married Chambers in 2010 after meeting via a friend and the pair have two children.
