Dakota Johnson Teases Charlie Hunnam About Lost Role in Fifty Shades

After initially being cast as Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, Charlie Hunnam's departure in 2013 led to Jamie Dornan taking over the role. Recently, Dakota Johnson playfully reminded Hunnam about the opportunity that slipped away.

Hunnam's decision to leave the project was influenced by a busy TV schedule and a nervous breakdown. He also had creative differences with the team regarding his vision for the character. Despite not playing Christian Grey, Hunnam's career has continued to flourish with upcoming projects like Monster: The Ed Gein Story on Netflix and Criminals on Amazon Prime. Johnson, who played Anastasia Steele, confronted Hunnam about the role over a decade later, with Hunnam expressing no regrets about turning it down.

While Charlie Hunnam's departure from Fifty Shades of Grey paved the way for Jamie Dornan's portrayal of Christian Grey, Hunnam's career has remained successful. His decision to leave the project, influenced by personal and creative reasons, has not hindered his ongoing success in the industry.
