Charlie is so good at telling stories that even Fallon won't interrupt him

[@rashadmuhammad1991]

Thats impressive lol

[@ftwi1]

He can be my go to guy for many story telling before bed. Just ask him to tell me stories then leave it's ok 😄

[@TheNyah5]

He‘s afraid of him

[@griselgallardo956]

So pissed Sons never got the recognition it deserved. That show was amazing

It was dengue.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="235">3:55</a> "sorry im very bad at microphone ettiquette" lets just appreciate the skill a good storyteller must have not only to have jimmy fallon not interrupt him, but also to interrupt himself to apologise for something slightly trivial, then smoothly carry on with the story. that was my favourite part of the clip.

[@Loveless0012]

Just reminded me of Tom Hiddleston eating chocolate before an interview and apologized for doing so XD The microphone thing was cute, hahaha, I wouldnt know what to do with it either XD

Watch his Vanity Fair video with Matthew McCa...how tf you spell his last name lmao And Hugh Grant. You’ll hear his true accent

[@loobylouboti]

@@BluskidooYouCanToo Not sure about his 'true,' accent. He moved to Cumbria when he was 12 (from Newcastle, which is where I'm from.) Then down to London when he was like 18 or something, before then going to the States. But his Geordie roots, even though he was only here for 12 yrs, does come back canny quickly in that interview though, haha. :) Which is nice to see/hear.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, Charlie Hunnam is brilliant in Papillon.

@@jceloz6148 I don't think he had the "vibe" to accept another striking character. This character was in a negative way for whoever did it. I can no longer watch the actor if he wants to in interviews. It gives me a pity and anger. I thought it was beautiful in UOAT. Not anymore.
