Charlie Hunnam has dropped out of the lead role in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film adaptation.
The search for the perfect Christian Grey was thought over after "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam was picked to play the lead in the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" film, but now it appears Hunnam is out.
"The filmmakers of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey," Universal Pictures said in a statement, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The 33-year-old actor was the second casting announcement for the steamy film adaptation of E.L. James' erotic trilogy, after James took to Twitter revealing that Dakota Johnson would play Anastasia Steele on September 2.

"The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey," she wrote.
Almost immediately the actors and producers faced severe backlash from devoted readers, many of which hoped for other stars like Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling to bring the book fantasy to life.
