‘King Arthur’ Star Charlie Hunnam And His Five Hottest Roles
Dubbed as one of Hollywood sexiest hunks, Charlie Hunnam is slowly cementing his mark as one of the most respective actors in the industry from his TV roles to his big screen characters. Hunnam recently wrapped up his FX biker drama series “Sons of Anarchy” and is currently filming with Guy Ritchie in his upcoming movie, “Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur.”
“It was important for me to have a little bit of time to try to find some sort of centre before I jumped into a different character,” Hunnam told Elle Canada when asked about his transition from Jax Teller to King Arthur. “It was actually really painful to say goodbye to Jax. I immediately stopped riding my motorbike. I know I’ll start riding again at some point, but I needed to get away from it all, just so I could find myself again.”
Here are the five Charlie Hunnam’s hottest roles.
Jax Teller (“Sons of Anarchy”)
