CHARLIE Hunnam has opened up about his controversial casting as Christian Grey in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
“As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota [Johnson], I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us,” Hunnam said.
“It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, and so that was it. I went and read the first book to get a clearer idea of who this character was, and felt even more excited about the prospect of bringing him to life.”
(He didn’t mention that some 45,000 rabid fans have signed an online petition protesting his and Johnson’s casting. Apparently fans want White Collar‘s Matt Bomer and former Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel instead.)
Hunnam’s also not worried about filming such intimate scenes in front of a crew. In fact, he wants us all to know that he’s had quite a lot of practice.
“My first job was on Queer as Folk,” he says. “It was incredibly explicit sexual scenes with a man. I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.”
