Its the breaking movie news that rocked all of our weekends: Charlie Hunnam has quit his role as Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Brit Hunnams appointment to one of the most coveted film roles in recent memory caused something of a stir online but, apparently, its a conflict in his filming schedule for US series Sons Of Anarchy thats to blame, rather than the mixed response to his unveiling.
Said Universal Pictures in a statement: The filmmakers of Fifty Shades of Grey and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey.
