Charlie Hunnam quits Fifty Shades of Grey



The hunt for Christian Grey is on for a second time in less than 6 months as Sons of Anarchy, Queer As Folk and Pacific Rim star Charlie Hunnam has exited the Fifty Shades of Grey movie due to scheduling conflicts.
It seems as though Charlie's commitments with smash hit TV series Sons of Anarchy were simply too much for him to juggle with preparation for the role. "The filmmakers of Fifty Shades Of Greyand Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead, given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey", a statement released by film studio Universal earlier this evening read.
We're guessing that puts the gang in a bit of a pickle, but sure at least they've still got their Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) on board. We're sure she'll help them to find the perfect fella for the role.
Quite a few Fifty Shades fans were fairly critical of Charlie's casting though: They said he just wasn't the man they'd imagined sliding into Christian Grey's suits. We suppose they will be watching eagerly to see which fella steps up to take on the role now, especially given the fact that the film is still due for release in August 2014.
We'll keep you posted as regards any further developments.
