Results matching “Charlie Hunnam” from Out in Hollywood

This past year has been a dream come true for a gay kid who used to just pour over Rona Barrett's magazines the second they came out. It's been so much fun to interview such a diverse list of celebs this year from showbiz legends to new discoveries and everything in between. I'm sure there is a massive game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" that could be played with all of the people I've interviewed in 2009. Here is a user-friendly list to allow you to revisit some of those people. Just click on the name and enjoy!

Wouldn't he be fun to draw on?

Fans of the original UK version of "Queer as Folk" have been aware of Charlie Hunnam for quite some time now. But in his new FX series, "Sons of Anarchy" he will probably gain tons of new fans. OhLaLaLa Mag posted these ande other hot shots of Charlie and I talked to him earlier this summer about those tatoos and asked him if they were real.

"No," he said before explaining that he participated in the selection of his character's body art: "You can either pay attention and make a specific choice about tatoos or you can show up and have the make-up artist put some tatoos on you. And I thought long and hard about it. I didn't want to go overboard but I wanted something very specific."
Real tatoos that are visible can be problematic: "I love tatoos but it's just such a pain to have them covered."

Her is a LINK to our interview...

Charlie Hunnam may be just 28 years old, but he is an actor who would rather not work at all than accept a bad role in a film or on television.

Before he was cast as the lead in the new FX series "Sons of Anarchy" which debuts Sept. 3, he didn't find any projects that appealed to him to he took some time away from acting to write a screenplay.

But the star of such features as "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Green Street Hooligans" was finally offered a part that he knew was absolutely right for him: Jackson "Jax" Teller in "Anarchy," an action-drama that explores the life and brotherhood of a notorious outlaw motorcycle club.

"They are pretty bad," Charlie said recently. "If ever anything comes into their world and compromises the way they live their life or their freedom, then they strike out with a vengeance."

Katey Sagal plays his force-of-nature mother and Ron Perlman is his stepfather and president of the club.

"He's trying to distance himself a little bit from the violent nature of this club," Charlie said of Jax.

When we spoke, I wondered about the tatoos that were on the actor's arm. I asked him if they were real.

"No," he said before explaining that he participated in the selection of his character's body art: "You can either pay attention and make a specific choice about tatoos or you can show up and have the make-up artist put some tatoos on you. And I thought long and hard about it. I didn't want to go overboard but I wanted something very specific."
Real tatoos that are visible can be problematic: "I love tatoos but it's just such a pain to have them covered."

The English actor, now based in Los Angeles, was open to doing a series even though he had been getting steady work in such films as "Cold Mountain," "Children of Men," and "Abandon."

In fact, two of his most memorable roles were on TV: the original British version of "Queer as Folk" and the FOX comedy "Undeclared" which was cancelled after one season but remains a cult favorite.

I wondered if playing a tough guy was much oif a stretch for Charlie.

"I was a rough little kid growing up," he said. "I definitely had my share of fights but all that's behind me now. I'm an actor. I'm not a bad-ass anymore."

Here is a scene from "Queer As Folk: filmed nearly 10 years ago:

Talked to Katey Sagal at the Television Critics Association Press Tour yesterday and wanted to share that with you. On her new show, she plays Charlie Hunnam;s mom! Will post through the day with TCA-related items and general items whenever I get the chance.

Katey Sagal knows she can get laughs, but that's not what she'll be looking for in her latest TV gig.

The star of the sitcoms "Married With Children and "8 Simple Rules" has stepped into the role of the fierce matriarch of a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang on the new FX series "Sons of Anarchy."

"She's lived in this motorcycle world for 30 years and was married to the guy who started the original club," Katey said if her character, Gemma. "I've been wanting to do a drama, I've been wanting to do something different. This is really something I was looking for and I'm really happy to be here."

Gemma could not be further from Peg Bundy and that was the appeal for the actress who started in showbiz as a background singer for Bette Midler.

"I feel like I've been in the sitcom comedy world so much - which I'm so grateful for - and I sort of feel like there wasn't a lot more to explore," she added. "I feel like I really did a good job in that world."

The show, which will air on Wednesday nights beginning Sept. 3, has Katey working with her husband, Kurt Sutter, who created the show and is one of the writers and executive producers.

They had previously worked together on a few episodes of "The Shield" and so far, things have been pretty smooth.

"He's in the writer's room and producing and I'm actually on the set so during the day we don't seem to run into each other quite as much but we're all on the same lot so we can sneak off for lunch," she said.

"We never have done this and it's working out great. I have enormous respect for my husband as an artist. It's great to leave the husband and wife cap at home and I have no problem with him being the boss which I think is his favorite part (laughs)."

Would her character ever ride a motorcyle? Katey said no but quickly added: "She might ride on the back."

I'm here at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for my first of five days or so of the Television Crtiics Association tour. Today is FX day and Glenn Close, Ted Danson, William Hurt and the rest of the cast of "Damages" just left the stage. Glenn was wearing a really tight skirt and I was standing behind her as she walked down the steps of the stage and my first thought was: "That's like the skirt she wore in the courtroom scene of "Jagged Edge" !!!

I'm so gay.

Anyway, now we are hearing from the cast of the new series "Sons of Anarchy." and I had to quickly post that one of the leads in the show is Charlie Hunnam! He has been good in many movies and who you may know best from the original British version of "Queer As Folk." He played the Justin part, don;t know what his name was. Update: I'm told his character was Nathan.

I'll update this post later..Charlie's show also stars Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman.
