Gregg Sulkin Compared His Workout to Climbing Stairs on 9/11 and Twitter Hit Back
There’s no question that Faking It‘s Gregg Sulkin works hard during his workouts. We didn’t think it would need to be explained to him, however, that comparing his exercise routine to the rescue efforts of those who climbed the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001 is disrespectful.
Earlier today, he Tweeted, “Wow what a workout. Had to run up flights of stairs & all I could think of were the brave firefighters climbing the twin towers on 9/11.” He realized fairly quickly that he’d made the wrong move and deleted the Tweet. He wasn’t quick enough, though.
Oh lame. He deleted it for some reason. Here’s the best tweet ever. pic.twitter.com/EmBAlPXLZV

Who is @greggsulkin and why does he think his workout compares to 9/11? This is why I don’t follow celeb nonsense anymore. FFS.

A bit later, Sulkin took a different approach, and left his workout out of it:
So much respect for those who put their lives in danger to protect us.
— Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) January 18, 2017
& they run up flights of stairs with heavy gear on their backs. Puts everything into perspective. #respect
