A Little Jax for Your Hump Day

I don't even wanna think about Season 7 being the last season of Sons of Anarchy. So instead I'm just gonna think about this:

Happy Hump Day xoxo

Truths

What a powerful episode of this week's Sons of Anarchy. I wanted to write about it sooner, but I had to digest it all. I think most viewers know that more than likely next season will be the last season in the series. For me this episode made a sharp turn in the series. It was all about the truth. There are so many twists and turns in each episode, lies and deceit to both hurt and protect the club. Watching Jax find out what Tara was doing, was painful to watch. I'll go into that further, but first I think what was most shocking was Gemma finally telling the truth about what happened to John Teller. The series began with Jax finding his fathers journal of his thoughts about what the club was supposed to be, what it became and his fears of his own life. As the series progressed we the fans found out the entire truth, but to finally hear Gemma admit it to Nero, to say it aloud was such a powerful moment. But will Gemma ever tell Jax, the one person who needs to know the full truth of what happened to his father. Now is the time for Gemma to make amends with her past, before Tara says it first. 

And poor Tara, rocking her baby, with a gun on her lap...not knowing whats in store for her now that Jax knows the truth. Tara by far has gone way over the edge this season. While I understand her fierce desire to get her boys out of Charming, away from that lifestyle, lying about a pregnancy and staging a fake miscarriage is crossing the line by extremes. Jax hasn't always made the right choices, but no one can deny the love he has for Tara. Where does he go from that truth, that anger, that hurt? 

Hunnam talks life post-50 Shades

Charlie Hunnam has opened up about what he is planning on doing after Sons Of Anarchy now that he has quit Fifty Shades Of Grey.

The Brit actor had been signed up to play Christian Grey in a film adaptation of the erotic novel alongside Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, but recently confirmed he had quit the role.

He told E!: "I am doing good. I am just really concentrating on work. It's been a really busy time.

"I have had some family stuff going on, so I'm just trying to stay focused and stay positive and keep trying to do a good job at work and be with my family and stay positive."

Charlie's dad died in May, so he had returned to England to spend time with his family, and explained that when Sons Of Anarchy ended he hoped to head back to the UK again.

The actor, who plays Jax Teller in the biker series, said: "Like I said, I've got some family stuff I have to tend to. So when I wrap the show, I am going to go to England and see my people and then I have a film that I am doing with Guillermo [del Toro]. So I am going to go and do that and concentrate on the final seasons of Sons.

"It's obviously going to be a really emotional time for us. We are like a family and have become very, very close and become dear friends to each other so it's going to be sad to finish up and say goodbye to everyone, but we've got like 13, maybe even a few more, episodes."

Charlie also hinted there may be more to come for Sons Of Anarchy fans. "There's rumour that we might do a couple of more episodes and do a little bit of an extended season next year, so we will see if that happens. It may or it may not. But I just want to finish that strong and go on to a new chapter of life."

Eastwood's son for 50 Shades role?

Scott Eastwood is apparently in the running for the role of Christian Grey

Scott Eastwood is the latest actor tipped to replace Charlie Hunnam in the Fifty Shades Of Grey film.

The newcomer, the son of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, is currently in the running for the coveted role of Christian Grey, reported Just Jared.

A source said: "He is one of five actors being considered."

Scott, 27, fuelled the rumours by tweeting: "What is all this talk about 50 shades of grey?? What do you all think?? Let me know. #hype #eastwoodlivin."

The actor made his debut in his dad's film Flags Of Our Fathers in 2006.

Colin Farrell has brushed off any interest in the role. The Irish star, who had been linked to the part, denied he would like to play Christian at the world premiere of Saving Mr Banks, saying: "No. I think that ship has sailed."

Sons Of Anarchy actor Charlie was due to star in the eagerly anticipated movie opposite Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele but dropped out earlier this month, citing his busy schedule for his exit. It was later reported that there had also been "creative conflicts" over the script.

The Fall star Jamie Dornan, True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and Christian Cooke have also been tipped to be among the frontrunners for the Grey role.

The movie version of author EL James' erotic best-seller will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson.

'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Looking For New Lead As Charlie Hunnam Drops Out

Charlie Hunnam has decided to drop out of the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film.

The British actor, 33, was set to play bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey in Sam Taylor-Johnson's upcoming adaptation of the erotic novel but has decided he is too busy filming 'Sons of Anarchy' to "adequately prepare" for the role.

Universal Studios issued the following statement to Deadline.com: "The filmmakers of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and 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."

The first film in the trilogy was due to begin filming next month.

Charlie's decision to pull out of the movie will come as a surprise to fans as he recently gushed about how excited he was to be cast in the blockbuster alongside Dakota Johnson.

He said: "As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us.

"It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, and so that was it."

But Charlie also admitted that the movie's director Sam had a huge hand in getting him to take on the role and after speaking to her he "felt really intrigued and excited about it."

It was previously revealed that Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson and Shailene Woodley were among the high profile stars to turn down roles in the controversial movie.

Robert Pattinson & More: Who Fans Want To Replace Charlie Hunnam In ’50 Shades’

Let the fan casting fantasies begin! After news broke on Oct. 12 that Charlie was dropping out of the role of Christian Grey, fans took to Twitter to say who they think should be his replacement.

Charlie Hunnam dropping out of the lead role in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey has created a Twitterstorm!

Robert Pattinson, Ian Somerhalder & More: Who Should Be Christian Grey?

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.

Charlie Hunnam speaks of excitement at playing Christian Grey

Charlie Hunnam says he has 'a tangible chemistry' with Dakota Johnson. The British actor, 33, will play bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey in Sam Taylor-Johnson's upcoming adaptation of the erotic novel, 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' opposite the little known actress, 23, who will portray Anastasia Steele, and is very excited to take on the role.

He told the Hollywood Reporter: 'As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us.

'It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, and so that was it.'

The 'Sons of Anarchy' star isn't worried about filming the explicit sexual scenes for the movie.

He said: 'My first job was on a Channel 4 miniseries called 'Queer as Folk.' 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.'

Charlie admits that the movie's director Sam had a huge hand in getting him to take on the role and after speaking to her he 'felt really intrigued and excited about it.'

He added: '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.'

It was previously revealed that Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson and Shailene Woodley were among the high profile stars to turn down roles in the controversial movie.

Charlie Hunnam Talks 'Fifty Shades of Grey' for First Time!

Charlie Hunnam makes his first official appearance since his casting in Fifty Shades of Grey while walking the red carpet at the premiere of Sons of Anarchy‘s sixth season on Saturday night (September 7) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The 33-year-old actor spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming film. Find out what he had to say:

On his first meeting with Dakota Johnson: “As soon as we got in the room and started reading with Dakota, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it, because there was a tangible chemistry between us. It felt kind of exciting and fun and weird and compelling, and so that was it.”

On if he has worries about the sex scenes: “My first job, was on a Channel 4 miniseries called Queer as Folk. 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.”

On how his girlfriend Morgana McNelis helped him make his decision: “It’s very hard to be with an actor. She’s required to share parts of me that she wouldn't really want to share. With the nature of this role, that’s going to be times 10… She read them and loved them and was really excited about the potential of the opportunity for me. If anything, I think it will make us closer. ”

Also pictured inside: Charlie‘s co-stars Katey Sagal, Ron Perlman, Maggie Siff, Theo Rossi, Kim Coates, and series creator Kurt Sutter at the premiere.

FYI: Katey is wearing a Basler dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes, a JustFab clutch, and Loree Rodkin jewelry.

50 Reasons Charlie Hunnam Is Perfect for 50 Shades of Grey (So Stop Petitioning for a New Cast)

Yesterday, Charlie Hunnam officially landed the role of Christian Grey in the hotly anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation alongside Dakota Johnson. And fans were fifty shades of pissed.  

Robert Pattinson is Christian Grey! Matt Bomer is Christian Grey! Ben Affleck is Christian Grey (J/K LOL, can you imagine what kind of meltdown the Internet would have if Ben Affleck were cast as both Batman and Christian Grey?) 

Bomer fans even went as far as starting a Change.org petition to get have the film re-cast: "All readers believe matt is christian. It would be a dream to see him in the movie," the site reads. The petition is attempting to raise 10,000 signatures in hopes that--what? Getting Charlie fired? That seems awfully mean. 

Especially since we think Charlie will make a perfect Christian Grey. And here are 50 reasons why:

He still looks good, even in a hat.
