Charlie Hunnam is already channeling the sexy billionaire Christian Grey. The actor was asked how he plans on preparing for the hot-and-heavy sex scenes with his Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) but he played it coy and just blushed.
So Christian like. The kinky billionaire would never kiss and tell. In the video, Hunnam was a total sweetheart as he chatted with fans, signed "Fifty Shades of Grey" books and posed for pictures. It seems like the "Sons of Anarchy" star is already getting used to all the attention.
E.L. James announced the official casting decision on Labor Day via Twitter. Fans were definitely upset over the picks but producers and executives involved in the movie defended their choice to cast Hunnam and Johnson. Their main reason is said to have been "excellent chemistry."
"There is a lot that goes into casting that isn't just looks. Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc." Dana Brunetti tweeted.
"So if your favorite wasn't cast, then it is most likely due to something on that list. Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective."
Michael de Luca simply tweeted: "auditions were stunning, incredible chemistry!"
Even though the British actor wasn't a fan-favorite it's hard to deny how hot he looks. Most people only see Hunnam as the biker boy on the FX show but he has had other roles where he cleans up very nicely.
Despite all the negative attention, Hunnam has been quietly handling all the backlash and has been spotted several times signing autographs. One of his costars recently spoke to E! News about the casting decision saying that she had no doubt that he would be the "perfect" kinky billionaire.
"Do you realize every single woman that is my friend is, like, 'Tell me everything about Charlie.' All the time," Taryn Manning said. "He is just a heartthrob, so I don't understand why anyone would question that casting decision. I think he is perfect for the part."
