Charles Matthew Hunnam is a famous foreign actor. The blue-eyed handsome man is often filmed in various projects in the UK and the USA. He is best known for his role in the TV series Sons of Anarchy. This project is still one of the most successful projects of the FX channel.
Family and life choices
Charlie Hunnam, whose biography is not particularly advertised, was born in the UK. The nationality of the guy is English, although he often appears in Hollywood projects. When the boy was small, his parents divorced, and then his mother remarried. Because the guy big family, where besides him there are 3 more brothers.
A handsome and tall guy (height and weight 185 cm and 80 kg) from his youth attracted the attention of agents offering work in modeling business. But the guy chose acting career. One day, a 17-year-old Englishman was accidentally met on the street by the producers of the television series Biker Grove. Such a chance meeting gave the Englishman his first job. Then the guy starred in another British television series. Determined to become a professional actor, Charlie leaves the foggy island and moves to Hollywood.
Attitude to work
Charlie Hunnam even early years He was distinguished by a thoughtfulness that is rarely seen in representatives of his profession. The Briton immediately decided that he would have many more years to earn money, so you should choose only roles that will contribute to development. Because Hunnam often turned down lucrative offers for personal reasons. Charlie didn't want to be held hostage to one image. Even now, the actor tries to take breaks between filming in order to have time to take a break from one role and tune in to new look. So we can say that the entire filmography is the work that was of great importance to him.
Actor career
Such films with the participation of Charlie Hunnam are known as "Hooligans", "The Color of Passion" and "Crimson Peak". But he was especially famous for leading role in the series Sons of Anarchy. For the role of Jackson Teller, the young man has gained an impressive muscle mass and kept that shape for 7 seasons. And after the end of the project, Hunnam did not lose attractive muscles. Instagram users have at times been able to enjoy photos of Charlie's beefy body. Unfortunately, after the account was hacked by hackers, the handsome man stopped uploading personal photos to the network.
Casting in "50 shades of gray"
The selection of actors for the filming of the bestseller "50 Shades of Grey" made a lot of noise. In an online poll asking fans to judge from a photo which handsome man they thought was the most suitable for the image of a millionaire, Charlie Hunnam outperformed all other contenders. Tests were also high level, because the Briton was approved for the role. But after some time, Charlie abandoned this project. Perhaps the reason was the obsessive attention of the press, or the actor did not want to become a hostage to the image of an attractive handsome man. The real reasons were not called, but Hunnam ceded this role to another applicant.
Over the past few years, Charlie has starred in several very interesting projects. This is the film "The Lost City of Z", where Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller became his partners on the set. In 2017, the film "King Arthur of the Sword" was released, where Hunnam plays the main role of the king. While critics speak very favorably about the picture and about the level acting blue-eyed Briton.
About the personal in life
The role of Percy Fossett in The Lost City of Z, which is currently in theaters, Charlie Hunnam considers the best in his career. For her sake, he lost weight, abandoned his personal life and became a lone wolf. What else can surprise the 37-year-old British actor?
From raspberries to fashion models
Charlie grew up in poor family and was the eldest of four boys. So before I started getting paid for impersonating someone in front of the camera, I tried a lot of less glamorous professions. For example, picking raspberries. Or lifted from the ground sheep wool after those who cut it off.
“Then it seemed to me that worse works does not exist in life,” the actor recalls. - It seems that you are just picking raspberries ... But they are choking in your hands, wasps flock to the sweet smell and sting you with all their strength. And collecting sheared sheep's wool from the ground - sticky with fat or blood, if the animal is slightly injured - is also not much fun.
This nightmare ended when a shoe store walker Hunnam noticed the actor's agent. The guy was offered to star in a small role as a fashion model in the series "Biker Grove", then in another one. He really showed himself in the mini-series "Close Friends", where he portrayed a teenager with a non-traditional sexual orientation.
Deep in sneakers
In memory of the difficult period of his life, he had ... 85 pairs different models Nike sneakers released in the 90s.
“It’s the poor boy syndrome of not being able to buy the shoes that all the kids at school wore,” he explains. “Sneakers cost £100 back then, and my family couldn’t afford that luxury. When I turned 25, I said to myself: “I can buy the shoes that I want!” — and did it. Naturally, I never put on most of it. At some point, I realized that you have to be a complete jerk to keep such a collection, and gave part of it to a charity auction.
I will love you forever
In personal life Charlie pretty constant. With his wife, an actress Catherine town, met at the casting of Dawson's Creek. They never got into the series, but, as it seemed to them, they found each other and three weeks later they got married in Las Vegas.
“We wouldn’t be in such a hurry if it weren’t for one circumstance,” he later recalled. Hunnam. - I just arrived in America, and it was not at all clear whether my career would work out there. What if it doesn't work and you have to go home? So we came up with Katherine: if we get married, nothing will separate us. I was 19 then, I fell in love for the first time - what to take from me?
He did not have to return to England, but this did not save the marriage - three years later the couple separated. After that, there were rumors about his novels with actresses. Liv Tyler And Rashida Jones. Last 10 years Hunnam lives in a civil marriage with a designer jewelry Morgana McNelis and wears a ring she gave her that is engraved with the words "I will love you forever".
The kindest and most beautiful
Fans are jealous of the actor for his chosen one and constantly criticize her appearance on the Internet. Charlie found out about it by accident (he is not a supporter of communication in social networks) and immediately defended Morgans by recording a video message to the fans:
“It seemed to me that social media was created for people to find new friends and share ideas, and not to mock others. If you knew Morgana, you would feel terribly stupid after your comments. My friend is one of the kindest and beautiful girls that I have ever met. She was very patient and supported me long before I was successful and started making money. So stop attacking her and throwing mud at her! If you have something to say, say it to me."
McNalis reacted to the statement Charlie on Instagram and Facebook:
“I appreciate everything you have said in my defense and I am eternally grateful for the support that goes into relationships and business alike. I was deeply touched by what you put into every word of yours. It helps to stay strong and invulnerable.”
friendship with chickens
Many years Charlie dreamed of settling on a farm. Four years ago it was possible to realize it. They With Morgana they bought a ranch in a secluded place near Los Angeles and lead an absolutely not Hollywood lifestyle there: they garden, keep ducks, chickens and a couple of donkeys.
“Imagine, I learned to be friends with chickens! - laughs Charlie. But I'm not going to eat them.
Last year, the couple decided to buy another property for a change, which corresponds to the star status. Hunnam, is a renaissance-style mansion located in Hollywood. A two-story building with 4 bedrooms and as many bathrooms, a pool and a fountain in the yard cost $2.8 million.
road king
Since childhood, he loved to ride a bike. But over the seven years of filming in Sons of Anarchy, where he played a biker, he got so used to a motorcycle that now he cannot live without it:
“All this time I didn’t take off my plaid shirts, didn’t get off the motorcycle and constantly hung out with real bikers. When the project was closed, I got rid of everything that reminded me of it, and first of all I changed my entire wardrobe. But he couldn't refuse motorcycles. So I drive around the city on the Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide, feeling like the king of the roads.
Wrong piece of pie
a little More than a month Hunnam was listed as the leading actor in one of the most resonant projects of the third millennium - "50 Shades of Grey". He told how excited he was that it was his candidacy that was approved by the producers and the author of the novel. E.L. James. And suddenly he refused to act ... The film bosses were in shock: between Charlie and his partner Dakota Johnson already on the samples such chemistry arose that it was impossible to take your eyes off them.
However, it was not possible to persuade the actor to play Christian Gray. When asked what made him break the contract, Hunnam answered differently each time. He said that he was afraid of germs, so he avoided kissing with film partners - so as not to be infected with something. He once mentioned that the woman he loved would not be delighted with so many sex scenes with his participation. Fans of the actor like this version more:
“At some point, I realized that I had bitten off a piece of cake that I could not chew. It's incredibly difficult to switch from Sons of Anarchy's Jackson Teller to Christian Grey, within 48 hours. I would either fail on such a massive project or I would go crazy.”
Emeralds of Reconciliation
<Съемки «Затерянного города Z» стали для Charlie a serious test. Firstly, the climate of the Colombian jungle was very exhausting. Secondly, in order to get into the image of a British explorer traveling through the Amazon in terrible conditions, he deliberately avoided people. He did not even communicate with his common-law wife for four months. To make amends, he brought her emeralds as a gift from Colombia. She appreciated the present. Although a serious conversation Hunnam could not be avoided.
Don't offer the green arrow!
He says that he almost never turns on the TV at home, and watches movies on the computer. In general, this is what most actors do. What's really strange is his preferences. Favorite series Charlie- "Deadwood" is an adventure series with elements of a western. He also likes... Downton Abbey. But the heroic pictures, based on comics, this muscular handsome man cannot stand.
“Even as a kid, I wasn’t a fan of comics and didn’t see any of the Marvel movies. They are not my type."
That is why Charlie refused the role of the Green Arrow, for which the producers had been wooing him for years.
I only dream of Shaolin
“Directors and photographers like to shoot me in unbuttoned shirts and leave no choice - I have to look good,” says the actor. - I have to do fitness, running, swimming, jiu-jitsu, a lot of walking. Of course, I would like to be in such physical shape that I could run in the mountains at the age of 70. I will say more: when I lead an active lifestyle, my mood even improves. However, spending all my free time in the gym is not at all what I wanted. I'm terribly tired. Sometimes I dream of just relaxing and eating hamburgers.”
If you don’t want to train, you have to… Before filming Sons of Anarchy, the producers set him a condition: gain muscle mass. AND Charlie four days a week he carried pieces of iron. This went on all the time while working on the series. When he signed a contract for a role in the film King Arthur of the Sword, he was required to become more impressive, and he gained 10 kg. And then immediately dropped 20 kg for the sake of the "Lost City of Z". With a height of 185 cm, he began to weigh ... 65 kg! But what can't you do for the sake of art!
By the way, recently Charlie He mentioned that he would like to master kung fu. And he is ready to take lessons not from just anyone, but from the best masters. To do this, I even agree to live in the Shaolin Monastery for some time. Well, when he has time...
Dracula for Brad Pitt
Besides that Charlie filmed, it turns out that he also writes film scripts. One of them is the story of Count Dracula, the second is about the American drug lord Edgar Valdez. By the way, the first, according to rumors, interested Brad pitta: His production company Plan B Entertainment is ready to finance the project.
One of the hundred sexiest men in the world according to Elle magazine, a favorite of girls and just a talented actor - all this is Charlie Hunnam. His career in film and television began quite early, and every year his popularity is gaining more and more growth.

In 2003, he participates, along with already eminent Hollywood stars (N. Kidman, R. Zellweger), in the film Cold Mountain.
Once Charlie said that he did not want to grab the first role that came across solely for the sake of money; he said he had at least 60 years ahead of him to make money, with the next five years defining his career. No sooner said than done. Now he is filming with eminent directors in the most rated projects.

His career began from the moment when he was just walking through a shoe store in his hometown of Newcastle and met agents.

For example, Hunnam's character, Lloyd, the lead actor in the college theater studio, turned out to be a completely atypical character. Charlie's charm and smug demeanor have taken his character Lloyd to the extreme, and the series itself has gone far beyond typical teenage stereotypes.
The first film in which Hunnam starred was released in 1999 in the actor's homeland, and in 2001 was shown in theaters in America. It was the British comedy What Happened to Harold Smith? (Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?), in which Charlie played the role of a rock singer.
