Charlie is a great story teller

[@warworldme]

The poses when modelling omg. Charlie is so handsome here 💕

[@miss.g-shun-w]

If I could ask God one question it would be: why did he make Charlie Hunnam so beautiful and why didn't he make like 4 billion carbon copies of him so we could all get one?

[@277judge]

Charlie could easily get away with playing Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

[@1rickopotamus]

Judge277 great call actually

[@tommyde-moore8373]

his said never going to happen not his kind of thing shame would of been good as arrow

[@paulomartins3731]

Judge277 Is it weird that that's all see whenever I see him? Lol

[@wolfgang7812]

Charlie could get away with playing Zoey Slater's significant other; should her character be re-introduced to Eastenders.

[@flowerpower8591]

Charlie hunnam has a such a perfect face, sure know what that lady producer was thinking when she said 'Yr lovely' 😂

[@amyranajihah4409]

God...charlie is such a beautiful man

[@X2factorforjustice]

Just saw ''King Arthur''.... Great movie, Hunnam, you've done it awesomely, well done.

[@AzDoll714]

He has a nice personality

[@FANNIERDZ]

what a charming man

[@ternitamas]

he's a gorgeous man!

[@abkl1]

it's so weird not to see him in a biker vest with long hair

[@ashworth614]

I am a big fan of Sons of Anarchy and never had a clue he was a British actor...

[@MrImastinker]

Going to see King Arthur tonight, IDGAF what the critic say. Audiences seem to be more open to it, and that's good enough to me.

[@joycegibbs5267]

GOOD FOR YOU. I don't give a stuff either. I make my own mind these days. I used to listen to critics & other viewers and found I haven't agreed so...

[@tfee1243]

MrImastinker dude it was soooo good

[@morrismorrison1912]

MrImastinker It was really good! I likes it

[@gothic3theageofwar565]

MrImastinker It was fantastic movie!! I liked it better than Alien Covenant and Guardian of the Galaxy, but it's just my opinion

[@tfee1243]

Nameless Hero oh yeah, it was definitely just as good if not better than guardians!

[@Merlinthehappypig]

Guy Ritchie taking the piss had me in tears

[@Serenity113]

Is it just me or is Charlie's accent much more pronounced in this chat shows than others? lol

[@caseyjason-ws3fr]

He becomes more british when he is on British chat shows.lol I realized that as well.

[@samfenn5379]

He's originally from Newcastle

[@Delboy0]

He is from Newcastle so uses his real accent on British shows because British people can understand the Geordie accent. I notice on American shows his accent becomes more trans-Atlantic probably so Americans can understand him.

[@shadowboxing7029]

I think it's kind of adapting to your situation and the people around you. When people are used to your accent you let it fly, when you're with other folk who aren't you try to adjust for their sake. It's nice to hear him more relaxed instead of catering for others. Dude should do it all the time.

[@iwakuraSanta]

I willl have to use that phrase ,thats just with my family

[@MrCrowebobby]

"You were sexy when you were young, Charlie." Understatement of this or any other millennium!

[@JayneAngelinaSkye]

yasss ive been waitin for him to be on here

[@RodrickColbert]

Those English accents are raw!

[@LoveforMusic91]

He is so handsome... Sons of Anarchy is one of my favorite show! 😩❤️

[@nf9662]

Oh Charlie 😍

[@craigfoulds8657]

The show I remembered him from was Undeclared. Anyone else?

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

craig foulds That was a great show

[@Billkwando]

First place I ever saw him and what I always think of him as. Such an amazing show.

[@Raskolnikov32]

Never noticed he had a Geordie accent before now, but he also sounds Welsh...

[@hemohero8035]

?Am i da only one here who finds Charlie Hunnam and Heath Ledger kind look alike ? no

[@fathead547]

No

[@vairagya108]

Hemo Hero He reminded me of Heath Ledger in the first 30 seconds of seeing him for the first time. Its the easy charm he exudes more than the physical look ....

[@ferihak3760]

Hemo Hero yeah i can kinda see that now lol

[@hemohero8035]

Yeah , he is welcomed to my pants anytime

[@ChicaSparrow]

Not really. I think Charlie Hunnam and Travis Fimmel look alike a lot

[@moe-moemaxie9211]

He's so cute and sweet ur the best charlie

[@blahaj784]

Holy shit, that's not Paloma Faith?!

[@gsta3541]

Louisse Lopez no its Billie Piper

[@ChanelCoco-pk7mp]

Wow you're kidding she looks so different

[@TheJhowNM]

Actually I thought the same when I first saw her here. She looks a lot alike Paloma haha

[@imedi]

ha that was my first thought too

[@beau1539]

I guess they weren't drift compatible.

[@stevencassidy6982]

I'd never realised that Charlie Hunnam is a Geordie?

[@fortworths]

Corey, someone from Newcastle.

[@Fisky-ww6ee]

Chris Chambone Corey?

[@fightermma]

Get him om the Geordie podcast

[@hypercc1]

Perhaps I was imagining it but when I watched the full interview Charlie Hunnams accent sounded almost Welsh.

[@staceywilliams7979]

yes I was thinking this! He was really Welshy 🤣

[@petesmart1983]

He never had a Geordie or a Cumbrian accent as he was extremely posh I guess his mixed posh american accent

[@ekafebrianita]

he was such a babe 😍 I love QAF series!

[@kirky]

Can't believe this is Pete from Green street

[@echoeyy]

kirky glad I ain't the only one who noticed.

[@kirky]

he's aged a bit

[@towelie8608]

the worst cockney accent I've ever heard was from his character in green street

[@michaellaskaris3544]

Best show man lol

[@kieranwilson2341]

Any other Geordies annoyed that he said "Northumbria street"? You've lost your roots Charlie...

[@dallashockey]

Hehe, I caught that too!

[@gabriellagelir2027]

Charlie's acting skills have come a looooooooooooong way....lol

[@echoeyy]

He was in Green Street but you don't see him mentioning that.

[@imadebananabread9568]

I MISSED THIS????!! WTFF!!

[@mfc9328]

I think everybody who was growing up watching Byker Grove and watched PJ (Ant) get shot in the eyes and blinded by paintballs will all agree it was one of the most farkin' traumatic moments in kids TV haha

[@ThamirisTravassos]

The modeling skills tho lol

[@charlottedent6003]

Ok here a fun fact Charlie went to my secondary school but got kicked out cos he started a fight with someone in his rugby team and one of my teachers actually taught him 😂

[@sunshineonthesea2170]

Why did he fight? Was he really an outsider at school?

[@petesmart1983]

Fun fact she copied that ok Wikipedia

[@jaimebreen1165]

fatima sahar best comment ever.

[@connie1wilson]

He does not sound Geordie at all. The way he says “Christmas shopping” at 01:17 is weird, it sounds kinda Welsh to me?

[@daviesjack12]

God dam it Jax

[@Sean-pn3te]

Sons of anarchy

[@Stella-cf4cl]

why does Billie Piper look like like she's drenched in sweat? she's gorgeous but the lighting or making or both are not doing her justice at all

[@powerhouse884]

I find so funny how every actor coming in this show suddenly has an accent LOL 😂

[@moore370]

PowerhousePR ridiculous stupid thing to say, of course they have an accent you mug

[@johnhastie5730]

A 'different' accent

[@zakkapradana7180]

[@Thulgore]

Uh......everyone has an accent......unless they're mute.

[@petesmart1983]

Glad ant and Dec gave rare permission for any byker content to be used

[@Juicymeu]

Guy Ritchie and Charlie Hunnam look like brothers

[@carefreejimbob]

All you gotta do is look good... And cash the cheques. 👍👌

[@HeyLila78]

When it's apparent that Guy Richie isn't too fond of Charlie...😂

[@nenabunena]

He's teasing him

[@DonegalOverlanding]

That aged well after Richie starred him in a leading role in The Gentlemen, which is an awesome movie.

[@adrianveidt3600]

Is it just me, or, is Guy turning into a character from one of his own movies?

[@trudyheeney7763]

Crazy he actually has a geordie slash American accent

[@petesmart1983]

He's not a real Geordie, he's extremely posh Geordie like sting, never had any Geordie accent

[@aurematic]

I though Charlie was the guy from *Vikings*

[@bugs1285]

Medina Music No, that's Travis Fimmel. I do think they look alike.

[@ZXxsniperMsrXx]

what accent is this ?

[@johnking5174]

Charlie's current accent is a mixture of his own original Newcastle upon Tyne (North East England) native accent he grew up with and of course when you spend time in Los Angeles and in the US in general he has adopted a bit of an American accent onto it, the same way Craig Ferguson's Scottish accent eroded over his ten years as host of the Late Late Show.

[@arronpaul737]

Didn't he star in, blue street?., lol.

[@clepto319]

green street elite

[@cocochanel9273]

omg i thort he was american 😱😚

Cheese and scallion? As if British food wasn't bad enough

[@user-lz8qx]

That is some talent! going from a raging lesbian to A-list actor in 10 - 20 or so years is quite the acheivment Charlie.
