Charlie Hunnam, the actor cast as Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, has left the production.
Hunnam initially landed the role and received backlash from fans of the book series hoping to see an actor more in line with the novels' description of the character.
Sources originally claimed Charlie Hunnam dropped out of the film due to scheduling conflicts with his busy schedule surrounding his television project, Sons of Anarchy. Now, updates have revealed that Hunnam was overwhelmed by the film's obsessive fan base. While the role of Christian Grey would require significant attention, Hunnam was indeed prepared for the work. He was not, however, interested in the frenzy brought on by the attention from the media.
Did Charlie chicken out or did he simply wise up? Will this cause the August 2014 release date to be further pushed back? Do you think Charlie Hunnam was right to leave?
