Remember back in 2013? EL James, author of the erotic novel
Fifty Shades of Grey, tweeted about Charlie Hunnam playing the rich and
mysterious Christian Grey. Unfortunately, he turned it down.
While we are still to wait when will the filming of FiftyShades Darker commence, or if they will still film it on the same filminglocations, July reports gave us all Hunnam’s answer why he did backed out from
the said movie.
A lot speculated, especially after a Hollywood insider’s
report, that the actor was “overwhelmed” and got “cold feet” doing the role.
But as it turned out, his statement was one of the most misunderstood
statements to record.
Hunnam has been silent about the issue on why he backed out
regardless of the speculations about it. He recently clarified why he did the
move.
In a post by Inquisitr.com, we can see Hunnam’s response on
the issue which he gave on his interview with Moviefone. Based on the actor’s
response, he cited how he felt sorry he had to turn it down but his schedules
were tight.
“I was going to
finish Sons at like 11 p.m. Friday night, get on the plane Saturday morning to
Vancouver for ‘Fifty,’ missing the whole first week of rehearsal and start
shooting Monday morning. And I was going to shoot that film, wrap that on the
Wednesday and the following Monday I was going to start shooting ‘Crimson Peak’
in Toronto. I just had like… frankly, something of a nervous breakdown.”
While Hollywood Reporter’s claim seemed to be in line, their
news about his move showed Hunnam was overwhelmed by the attention he will be
getting from fans as well as the projects that lined out. This time however,
with his clarification, the rumors on why he did backed out might cease.
“I really didn’t want to fail on such a grand scale and I
just couldn’t transition from Jax Teller to Christian Grey in 48 hours. I bit
off more than I could chew and it was painful. I loved the character and I
wanted to do it. It was just a sh*t situation. I was really, really, sorry to
do it. It was one of those damned if you do, damned if you don’t situations.”
We can all expect big surprises from the Fifty Shades Darker
movie which is showing this Valentines 2017. Filming is yet to be announced but
filming location might still be in Vancouver.
