'Crimson Peak' Charlie Hunnam Goes from A Bad Boy Biker to A Complete Gentleman; Shares the Secret to Becoming ‘Manly’

Charlie Hunnam is best known for his bad boy biker role in the FX series, "Sons of Anarchy." While his role as Jackson 'Jax' Teller will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the show's fans and viewers, the 35-year-old actor proved that he is versatile enough to move from the 'SoA' fame and transform into a complete gentleman.

Charlie Hunnam definitely marked his name in the industry following his successful appearance in "Sons of Anarchy" as bad boy biker, Jax Teller. Hunnam has snagged a number of roles in various projects, including Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak" and "Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur."

While some may easily think of Hunnam as the bad boy he portrayed in the Kurt Sutter-led series, Hunnam was recently spotted sporting a classic look of a gentleman on the set of "The Lost City of Z," U TV reported. According to the outlet, Hunnam was recently spotted in Belfast and shared a couple of snapshots with fans and even posed alongside his co-star, "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson.

Hunnam will be playing the role of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who traveled to the Amazon jungle in hopes of finding a fabled civilization. "The Lost City of Z" stars Hunnam, who will be playing alongside Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller. James Gray will be directing while Brad Pitt will be co-producing.

While some of you may be wondering how Hunnam manages to keep his body fit even with such a tight schedule on set, the "Crimson Peak" actor revealed to Men's Health magazine (via Belfast Telegraph) how to keep those "manly muscles."

"I don't think much of lifting heavy weights and would rather concentrate on functional training," he said.

Hunnam shared that he prefers old school workouts over the newer exercises and revealed that he does 50 squats instead of doing leg presses. While Hunnam definitely has a tight schedule, the actor admitted that he sometimes works out on set.

"Anyone who really wants it will manage to squeeze in time to train," he added.
