Charlie Hunnam Discusses His Decision To Not Play Lead Role In Fifty Shades Of Grey
Charlie Hunnam recently opened up about his decision to exit the Fifty Shades of Grey film franchise, more than a decade after stepping down. Initially cast as Christian Grey alongside Dakota Johnson’s Anastasia Steele, Hunnam was eventually replaced by Jamie Dornan, with Johnson retaining her role.
In a June 2014 interview, Hunnam reflected on his departure, stating, “I felt like I had an interesting take on that character and believed I could have done a good job playing Christian Grey; otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken it on in the first place.”
Hunnam further said, “When you put the time into something like that and a character comes alive in your mind, it’s heartbreaking not to be able to play him, it was definitely kind of heartbreaking having to say goodbye to that character and not bring it to life.”
Recently, TMZ caught up with Charlie Hunnam and inquired about his decision to exit Fifty Shades of Grey. Initially hesitant, he responded, “Aw man, can’t talk about this!” When the reporter pressed further, asking how the decision had impacted him over the past ten years, Hunnam humorously replied, “I’m not nearly as rich as I would have been.”
