The New York Times blogger who poked fun at Michael C Hall over his beanie has apologised.

The journalist, who was blogging on the Golden Globes, apparently had no knowledge of Hall’s cancer diagnosis, which explained the skull cap at the awards show.

The blogger for the Times’ fashion blog The Moment made a tweet that was deemed offensive.

The tweet fluttered into cyber space just as Hall was accepting his award for Best Actor in a television drama.

Half an hour later the journalist issued an apology on Twitter. He tweeted: “So sorry that Michael C Hall has had cancer. Thanks for clarifying why he is wearing a knitted skull cap.”

Hall said backstage that he was on the road to recovery. He made no reference to his illness while accepting his Golden Globe.
