Video: Charlie answers the web’s ‘Most Searched Questions’
Charlie Hunnam sat down for the WIRED Autocomplete Interview to answer the web’s most searched questions, offering details on his career and personal life. The interview opens with Charlie admitting to having put 65,000 miles on his motorcycle while filming Sons of Anarchy, but admitted he doesn’t ride as much as he use to due a fear he developed due to drivers in Los Angeles. Charlie also confirmed he studies Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but hasn’t practiced as much as he would like due to the back injury he got while filming Rebel Moon. He admits he does in fact own a ranch, although he doesn’t live there because it’s undeveloped land with no house so he sleeps in the back of his pickup truck when visiting.
While discussing his writing ambitions, he noted that while he has penned several screenplays, including a film about Vlad the Impaler, none have been produced as yet. For his role as Ed Gein in the series Monster, he admitted he was initially intimidated but was more interested in working with Ryan Murphy to explore why Gein became a monster—the inspiration for films like Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre—rather than what he did. He eventually goes on to share the story of how he got the role of Jax Teller, explaining he first read the Sons of Anarchy script because it was the thinnest in a pile of material he needed to review. He follows that up by listing the numerous items he stole from the Sons of Anarchy set, admitting he took everything “that wasn’t nailed down,” including his bike, his cut, the rings, and even a “red plastic dragon”.
