Charlie Hunnam did a gorgeous photoshoot with EW: would you hit it?

hunnam1

If I’m being completely honest, Charlie Hunnam has never been my go-to crush. I think he’s perfectly attractive/beautiful/sexy, but my crushes were always Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy. But I might have to give Charlie a thorough double-take because OMG!!!!!!! Charlie covers the new issue of Entertainment Weekly to do a “first look” at Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie. Ritchie says about Hunnam and the project:

“I think where the pitfall has often been is trying to make King Arthur bland and nice, and nice and bland. The two qualities make rather compatible bed companions. Unfortunately, they’re not interesting to watch. Luke Skywalker was always the most uninteresting character in Star Wars because he’s the good guy. Good guys are boring.”

[From EW]

I fundamentally disagree that good guys are boring, but I’ll also admit that if I saw this dirtied-up Charlie Hunnam on the street, I would jump him. HARD. Charlie tells EW that his Arthur is “a little bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor. He’s a hustler. He’s a street kid. There’s definitely a harder edge to him than people would imagine. It’s sort of classic Guy Ritchie stuff.” Blah. Just look at the photos.

    uMMM HELL YAH

    • Loopy says:

      He looks a bit shy or uncomfortable with being sexy.

      • Maum says:

        Which makes him even sexier.

      • Cindy says:

        And he knows it too. He’s no dummy.

      • Sea Dragon says:

        I think you’re spot on. As much as he tries not to be, he’s shy. My bf of many years has similar qualities to Hunnam and being reserved is one of them. I can parade around, happily uninhibited but depending on his mood, it can take a considerable amount of encouragement before he’ll let his guard down. Cindy’s right- Hunnam knows he’s got it. It’s just a matter of making him feel relaxed enough to share it.

        *kisses Kaiser on the cheek for the awesome post*

      • Erin says:

        This is what now passes for sexy?

      • FLORC says:

        erin
        Apparently yea. I can’t stand it when people say FMORC looks like Charlie… It’s a disservice to FMORC!

      • Sea Dragon says:

        Erin, I take it you haven’t seen SoA?

      • Davy says:

        LOL!!

        Clearly you’ve never seen Sons cause Charlie just f*cks the sh*t out of women on that show full thrusting ass shots and all. Boy knows he’s fine as hell, and maybe is shy personality wise but I don’t think he’s shy about his sexuality at all. God he’s hot.

    • kennedy says:

      JESUS MOTHER MARY.

      This man is so hot. And sweet. BUT STOP ASKING HIM ABOUT 50 SHADES. Like, why in the world is that still news? He is clearly game for answering the question because he’s a nice guy but EW is SO insistent on always asking him about it. He walked away from it b/c it wasn’t a fit and he probably didn’t want to ruin his career. It’s not f-king rocket science!

      • Liberty says:

        +1 — everything you just wrote, kennedy.

      • Petunia says:

        This is a not a question! Absolutely, of course, yes please, I’m all in, I second that, mommy like, where do I sign, hells yeah, yes!, affirmative, checking the “always” box, etc.

  2. Bridget says:

    YES. I can’t believe anyone has to ask.

  3. quantum entanglement says:

    YES YES YES. Every day, all day, in every position known to man.

  4. Leah says:

    Oh. MY.

  5. Miss M says:

    Yes! Yes! And Yes!

    Hotter than ever!

    Ps: he is really hot, but i have to look away now that I have my new “CBhusband” Dylan Bruce.

  6. NGBoston says:

    Affirmative. ((sigh))

  7. Bella says:

    @Celebitchy, I need to thank you for these pictures. You just made my day oh so much better. This man is everything.

  8. Becks says:

    I would hit it sooooooo hard!
    Charlie is just getting better with age 😍

  9. Mia4S says:

    Not saying he doesn’t look good but, meh, maybe once.

    And I am soooo sick of King Arthur, Merlin, Camelot. So sick of it. Yes I get that these legends tend to get retold but how about a legend that hasn’t been retold 3,557,975 times in every possible medium in the past thirty years!?

    • jinni says:

      I think the The Mists Of Avalon was the last Camelot related story that I actually found entertaining and interesting. Also, the way he describes Arthur makes me think that it’s basically going to be like every other Ritchie movie except set in a bygone era. Like it’s going to be gangster film with swords instead of guns and it sounds unappealing.

      ETA: I also kind of liked the show Merlin.

    • Dvaria says:

      THANK YOU! I would love to see a miniseries or film about other facets of british history. The story of the last true Prince of Wales Prince Llewelyn (read Here be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman and the trilogy…it leads up to King Edward of Braveheart fame) would make a fantastic show.

      Camelot is done…its beaten to death.

    • vauvert says:

      Finally someone I can agree with. So many people act like he is sex on legs and I don’t see it – although in this photo shoot he looks like a rougher Brad Pitt. So maybe, once for fun. But nope, not my type.

  10. Dawn says:

    You better believe it! He just keeps getting better with age like a fine wine.

  11. Kitten says:

    Like a home run.

    I don’t have a yard, but I need to get one so he can mow my lawn, weed my gardens, water my lawn and……..all these chores suddenly sound so sexual.

    But yeah, I want him to get dirty and then come inside for lemonade.

    Well, this comment went horribly awry now didn’t it?

    *coughs*

    I’ll see myself out now.

  12. bns says:

    Ugh god yes

    I just finished binge watching Sons of Anarchy so I’m obsessed with him right now

    • kennedy says:

      I love the first 5 seasons. And then Season 6 happens and as a huge Jax/Tara fan and a fan of the show in general, I just lost my faith in it. It was a mess, complete with bloated episodes, WAY TOO many Katy Sagal covers, and just too much violence without any narrative progress. Sutter is a terrible editor and pretty lousy showrunner. When you look at a show like Justified – you realize what a world of difference good writers and a competent showrunner make. The stupid Irish subplot and the gang wars took over the heart of the story – which was about a group of people who knew enough to want better but not enough to actually achieve it. But thank god for the sweet sweet Hunnam Hump.

    • Nicolette says:

      Still binge watching on Netflix. Give me Jax Teller stepping out of the shower over anything on tv any day.

  13. Jane says:

    Dear God, whoever did the photography for this spread did a fantastic job. I LOVE the one of him in the boat. D***, I need a drink and a cold shower after looking at that one. Is 10:00 am too early in the day to drink? LOL

    • Pamela says:

      My exact thoughts upon seeing that pic. “We are going to need a bigger boat.”

  14. DahliaDee says:

    Clearly Ritchie hasn’t watched “King Arthur” with Clive Owen as the lead. His Arthur wasn’t all that “nice”.

  15. TeresaMaria says:

    My knees are getting weak just looking at the pictures. He really does it for me. Thanks for the pics.

  16. Abbott says:

    His face makes me want to fly into the sun it is so beautiful.

    Why are we promoting a movie a year before it’s released?

  17. doofus says:

    so, we finally get to see him in something where he speaks with his true accent? SWOON.

    it’s like Idris…hot as hell and even hotter when we hear the Brit come out.

    and yes, I’d hit it over and over, like a screen door in the wind.

  18. AntiSocialButterfly says:

    This is a rhetorical question, right?

    Yes- like a sledgehammer until it broke.

  19. Tiffany27 says:

    FU*K HE LOOKS GOOD!

  20. Damn says:

    This gorgeous creature. Love him and he is never not nice to his fans unlike other pretentious assholes.

    I’ll take him any day over the woman beater(Fassbender), attention famewhore alien (Cumberbitch) or the guy who fights with directors and tries to convince us that he is from the working class instead of a wealthy family (Hardy).

  21. Fori says:

    Yes. He’s so hot.

  22. Matador says:

    Not my type. Gimme Oscar Isaac.

    • Mia4S says:

      Amen!

      Plus I couldn’t stand his wishy-washy interviews after he dropped out of that 50 Shades movie. It was the right choice but he sounded so…desperate? I can’t put my finger on it.

      • kennedy says:

        Really? He’s a nice guy who answered the question when asked. I wish outlets would stop asking him about it b/c it’s clear that he has moved on but considering they bring it up EVERYTIME he is interviewed, there’s no end in sight. He seems like too nice of a guy to actually object and say enough is enough, stop asking me about this ridiculous movie. But I never sensed any desperation about it. He clearly respected the director and everyone involved and didn’t want to say “look man, this movie sucks balls and I didn’t want to suicide bomb my career.”

      • Damn says:

        The only one who is desperate is Jamie Dornan and those insane fans of those awful books.

      • Mia4S says:

        There’s another interview today where he describes his decision to drop out as “very, very painful”. Give me a break. Look the project was crap and it has done nothing for Jamie whatshisface but maybe a simple word or two about how things worked out for the best would come across as less tiresome. Right now he’s being defined by work he didn’t do and if he can’t shut down the question his people should.

      • meme says:

        There’s no desperation in Charlie. He knew the project was crap, the author refused to work with him on script changes (he’s also a screenwriter) and he’s too nice to say it was crap. As for how Charlie is defined, he’s defined as Jax Teller for his fans; those who define him by 50SOG don’t know his work.

  23. lizzie says:

    uunnfff…

  24. The Original Mia says:

    Hit it like an unlatched door in a storm.

  25. Lindy79 says:

    Sweet merciful….

  26. meme says:

    Charlie has been my imaginary husband since SOA S1 E1…This gorgeous hunk of MANLY MAN keeps getting better and better. He’s the nicest guy on the planet, always has time for fans and YES, I WOULD HIT IT MORNING NOON AND NIGHT UNTIL WE BOTH COLLAPSED FROM EXHAUSTION.

    *swoons*

  27. Olenna says:

    Need you ask? We would be rocking that boat.

  28. Renee says:

    Hell to the Yes!!!

  29. Jessica says:

    He seems to have a kinda Brad Pitt vibe in these photos!

    • lisa2 says:

      I was thinking the same thing. It looks like a combination of old photoshoots that Brad has done. He has those same forehead creases that Brad has. They do look a bit alike.. and that is not a bad thing at all.

      I like Charlie.. I wondered why he hasn’t made it big yet.

  30. Maum says:

    I saw the cover this morning on my FB wall. I was hoping you’d post about it 🙂

  31. Embee says:

    All day and night, thank you.

    That pic of him in the boat makes me want to spread him on a cracker.

    Whew!

  32. Betti says:

    Someone pass me the smelling salts!!

    Woof he is hot in those shots – he’s my naughty dream viking, esp when he’s got that big sword to wave around. hehehe

  33. Sunsetsnow says:

    Damn, hmmmmmmm! You are kidding, right!

  34. GiGi says:

    Good God. Yes.

  35. Kali says:

    I would hurt myself and on him and go back for seconds and thirds and fourths until I could no longer walk. Oh my……………………

  36. Windowchair5 says:

    This man is so handsome. Gorgeous, rugged, and everything in between. It should be a crime to be that good looking. Absolutely yummy!!!!

  37. NUTBALLS says:

    Sweet Baby Moses, he’s HAWT. I need a tall glass of ice cold southern sweet tea to cool down my lady bits.

  38. Cindy says:

    Beautiful beautiful creature.

    I’m going to point something out, and I do so with love. His head is really really small. I sound crazy now but next time you see him in photos with other men, and even women, you’ll see. hes still the sexiest though. 🙂

  39. Mia4S says:

    In other news look for him to possibly be out of Lost City of Z. Pacific Rim 2 has been scheduled to film in the Fall, and Lost City was supposed to film then. Either that or the movie will be pushed…again.

    • Damn says:

      Are you one of the 50 shades of shit fans following Charlie around and be pissed off because he left that mess?
      You can’t stand him but you are following his career.
      He is filming LCOZ at the beginning of August in Belfast and you can suck it.

      • Mia4S says:

        Wow did you read that wrong!! Seriously it would require effort for you to be more wrong. I’m a fan of the book Lost City of Z actually and waiting for this film since it was Pitt’s project. I was interested to hear that (to my understanding) filming was going to conflict. With James Grey it still might. If not? That’s nice.

        Take a chill pill darling. I think Charlie made the best move ever in dropping 50 Shades…I just wish he’d stop talking about it. I would like to see him in something solid, I got tired of Sons of Anarchy after two seasons (well done show but too much violence against women for my taste.)

        Oh and the only version of 50 Shades I know is George Takei’s reading. It’s the only version worth mentioning! 😉

      • doofus says:

        Damn…dude…calm down, eh?

      • Mia4S says:

        @Doofus, I didn’t realize poor Charlie has his own Twi-hards! Ironically it doesn’t seem like the 50 Shades guy does? Maybe I need to spend more time on tumblr to learn the rules. LOL!

      • doofus says:

        beware…some people out there are a bit…um…enthusiastic, shall we say…

      • Kitten says:

        I’z scared 🙁

      • meme says:

        @Mia4S

        Please do not compare us Charlie devotees to those silly little Twi-hards. We just love our smoking hot Charlie and are very protective of him since that 50 Shades incident where all those STUPID people signed a petition against him because they didn’t think he was sexy or good looking enough. But it worked out fine for our Charlie, didn’t it? That movie STANK!

  40. Jess says:

    Yummy!

  41. cailin_dana says:

    Someone here used this comment and I’m stealing it
    “With the fist of an angry God”

  42. N says:

    YES!

    This is the first post on cb where 99% of commentators agree with each other and all have said “YES :D”

  43. ell says:

    he’s ridiculously hot and seems a really nice bloke as well, however i just couldn’t stand his character in soa and that killed it for me a little. maybe once i forget how much of twat jax teller was I’d manage to fancy him more.

  44. Andrea says:

    Is anybody else feeling a Travis Fimmel/Ragnar from ‘Vikings’ vibe off that last shot in the boat?! That’s who he’s looking like for me & I’ve got absolutely NO problem with it!! 😀

  45. InvaderTak says:

    I’ll hit it as long as there’s a lot of wine to go with all the cheese in these pics.

  46. Alice says:

    He does look rather nice there. A little scruff is not bad.

  47. alihar999 says:

    Seriously? Absolutely…….a chance to grab that beautiful butt ? He is ridiculously sexy. And do love that he is also so nice. He’s the type that would say something nice to you and then push you up against a wall. Ok…need to stop thinking about it.

  48. Jonesy says:

    I like the way he wields that sword. 😉

  49. Tig says:

    Agreed with the earlier posters- this movie will be Lock, Stock etc in that time period with lots of mud. I really don’t understand what happened to Guy R- did Madonna suck all the originality out of him?

    I too hope Lost City of Z gets made- that was a great book.

  50. The Old KC says:

    I didn’t get it until I saw him move on-screen. Theeennnnnn my loins set ablaze. Lol. Just photos didn’t do it. The man in motion is poetry…erotic poetry. 😉

  51. Luciana says:

    SOOO HARD!!

  52. ashley says:

    This guy is just so handsome!!!! He was so good on sons of anarchy,i wish him all the best in his career. Yes,i would hit it from morning to night.

  53. Nicolette says:

    You bet your sweet ass I would! He wouldn’t know what hit him. Gorgeous, gorgeous man.
    *deep sigh*
    *fans self*

  54. seesittellsit says:

    Like a screen door in a hurricane . . . !

  55. Valerie says:

    This is very odd. I normally find Charlie to be a very handsome guy, but these photos are not doing anything for me. Sounds like I’m definitely in the minority, but I’m okay with that!

  56. Elise says:

    All day every day!
