Charlie Hunnam says starring in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' would have been a 'f ...



Charlie Hunnam looks fifty shades of sexy on the December cover of Men's Health.

But the 34-year-old actor insisted that had he decided to play Christian Grey, it would have been a "f-----g disaster."

"I was going to finish playing a psychopath who'd just lost his wife, and five days later I'd be on set playing Christian Grey," he told the mag on newsstands Thursday about splitting his time between the hit FX series "Sons of Anarchy" and taking on the lead role in "Fifty Shades of Grey."

"I was like, 'This is going to be a f-----g disaster,'" he added.

Hunnam was cast to play the highly sexual Grey in the movie adaption of the E.L. James' erotic best-selling novel and just before the production was getting underway, he made a sudden exit. Jamie Dornan would put in his place shortly after.

The actor -- who is set to play King Arthur next for a six-movie deal for the Guy Ritchie-directed Sherlock Holmes -- previously told Moviefone that his decision was based on an overloaded schedule that caused him to have a "nervous breakdown."

Now that he's back on track and looking better than ever, Hunnam can focus solely on wrapping his seventh and final season as Jax on "Sons."

So how does he stay so Jax'd?

"I go into the gym and do 75 pullups, 75 dips, 150 squats, 150 pushups, and then 20 minutes of ab work," he said. "Done. It takes an hour; I'm in and out. I sweat the whole time."

And what a glorious hour it is with the outcome being even better.

While his workout regime keeps him buff, Hunnam said it's not all about the physical for him.

"I work out more for the mental rather than the physical aspect," he revealed. "I can get slightly dark when I'm not keeping a routine. It's all about feeling healthy and energetic."
