Although, perhaps, in the biography of Charlie Hunnam, along with this image, new stage, yet he is a good actor, and the movie collected an impressive box office.
Biography of Charlie Hunnam
"Gay Icon"
A native of Newcastle, Charles Matthew Hunnam comes from a large family. His parents raised four, and Charlie was the second child of the Hunnams. He was born on April 10, 1980, grew up as an active and athletic boy. And Charlie's hopes for a great acting future were born along with his participation in the Biker Grove show. He got the role of Jason by chance: the casting assistants met a handsome blond guy in one of the shops in Newcastle - Hunnam was choosing his shoes, but got on the set.
But for real creative biography Charlie Hunnam began with the mini-series Close Friends. The nineteen-year-old Briton became the star of the project, playing one of the central roles in it. His hero, the modest young Nathan, is seduced by the handsome Stuart (Aidan Gillen, who created the image of Petyr Baelish in the Game of Thrones). Gradually, the guy falls in love with his older friend and becomes, like him, a playboy. Nathan has become a real "gay icon", because Charlie played him very convincingly, while not embarrassed by explicit scenes.
In America!
After starring in his homeland in the low-budget comedy What Happened to Harold Smith?, the Englishman moved to the States. There he made his debut with a role in the show Young Americans, and then joined the large cast of the sitcom Undecided. The show was written by Jude Apatow, so it was full of some pretty daring jokes and out of the ordinary situations, and along with Charlie in the series (which was a kind of continuation of "Hooligans and Nerds"), Apatow's favorite Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel played.
In between filming the sitcom, Charlie Hunnam's biography was replenished with several films. Among them was English classic, Dickensian "Nicholas Nickleby". Despite the excellent casting (except for Hunnam and the young Jamie Bell, the experienced Jim Broadbent played in the film, the beauty Ann Hataway and the funny Alan Cummings), the drama flopped at the box office. Apparently, Dickens is not to everyone's taste. And the film was not bad: it even claimed the Golden Globe.
fan and biker
Hunnam's episode in Minghella's "Cold Mountain" and his role in Cuaron's post-apocalyptic "Children of Men" were not very highly appreciated by the public and critics.

The show was launched in 2008, and in December 2014, the Americans saw the last, seventh, season. Hunnam brilliantly coped with the main role of Jax Tayler, the leader of a motorcycle gang, seeking to restore order in his town.
Commercial success
Charlie's participation in the blockbuster "Pacific Rim" also did not go unnoticed.
Epic high tech fantasy picture Guillermo del Toro earned more than 411 million dollars - it was the first commercially very successful film in which the Brit has a leading role.
You won't be forced to be nice
When Robert Pattinson turned down James's offer to play in the film adaptation of her book Fifty Shades of Grey, Ryan Gosling could have been considered for the male lead, but the project seemed uninteresting to him. Then the role of Gray was offered to Hunnam. After much hesitation, Charlie agreed, but unexpectedly met with a whole stream of negativity from fans of the novel. He decided that “you won’t be forced to be nice” and left the project.
Victorian thriller and Arthurian legend
Movie fans were looking forward to the next del Toro film starring Hunnam - the Victorian mystical thriller Crimson Peak was released in October 2015. Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Tom Hiddleston are involved in the film along with Charlie. Horror (or rather, a gothic drama turned out: atmospheric, rich bright colors, tense.
