Charlie Hunnam Admits Nervous Breakdown Over "Fifty Shades Of Grey"

In an interview with Moviefone, Charlie Hunnam opened up about his decision to leave "Fifty Shades of Grey".  


"I was going to finish Sons (of Anarchy) at like 11 p.m. Friday night, get on the plane Saturday morning to Vancouver for Fifty, missing the whole first week of rehearsal and start shooting Monday morning,"  Hunnam, 34, revealed, noting: "And I was going to shoot that film, wrap that on the Wednesday and the following Monday I was going to start shooting Crimson Peak in Toronto. I just had like…frankly, something of a nervous breakdown."

"I just said: "I can't…I can't…"" Hunnam was quoted as saying, adding: "To fail on such a grand scale - because Fifty's going to be massive, it's going to be huge. I really didn't want to fail on such a grand scale and I just couldn't transition from Jax Teller to Christian Grey in 48 hours. I bit off more than I could chew and it was painful. I loved the character and I wanted to do it."
