It’s 50 Shades of Charlie Hunnam and man, are we excited!

The Sons of Anarchy star recently snagged the part of the infamous Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E L James’ 50 Shades of Grey, and it’s got the whole world buzzing. For one, Charlie is totally sexy and women everywhere are excited to see him portray the controlling, hypersexual, successful, wealthy Christian. Secondly, the book is erotic… so there’s that.

Charlie – who has a girlfriend – recently commented about all the “tangible chemistry” he has with soon-to-be co-star Dakota Johnson. He also revealed his girl is super excited he got the gig. Concerning the role, Charlie explained:

“We both suggested I do a reading with Dakota, who was her favorite. As soon as we got in the room, I knew that I definitely wanted to do it. There’s just a tangible chemistry between us. It felt exciting and fun and weird and compelling.”

He went on to talk about how his girlfriend of 6 years, Morgana McNeils, responded:

“It was a decision we made together, but she loved the books. She [was] really excited about the potential of this opportunity for me and if anything, I just think it will bring us closer. 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, of course. And with the certain nature of this role, it’s going to be times 10.”

A new season of Sons of Anarchy begins tomorrow, so if you’d like to see Charlie in action, tune in.
