"  Since being cast as the protagonist in the upcoming film adaptation of the wildly successful &amp;quot;mommy porn&amp;quot; novel\u00A0Fifty Shades of Grey, actor Charlie Hunnam has been scarce \u2014 but the new Christian Grey made an appearance on the red carpet last night for the Season 6 premiere of his FX drama\u00A0Sons of Anarchy, where he spoke a little more about the role.\u00A0 Here&amp;#039;s a few choice quotes that revealed a little bit more about the man who will be Grey. 1. He&amp;#039;s mostly oblivious to the conversation about his casting. Although he concedes that he anticipated\u00A0some\u00A0controversy, since &amp;quot;these books were a global phenomenon,&amp;quot; he cuts himself off from most media so he does&amp;#039;t have to deal with the legions of fans upset about his selection. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t really engage in social media, and I don&amp;#039;t really watch the news or read newspapers so I haven&amp;#039;t been too cognizant of exactly what the reaction has been,&amp;quot; he told ETOnline. But I&amp;#039;m just so excited to be entrusted with this really powerful character... and eager to start filming and start bringing him to life.&amp;quot; 2. There was major chemistry between him and castmate Dakota Johnson, who plays Anastasia Steele... After meeting with director Sam Taylor-Johnson and getting &amp;quot;excited at the prospect&amp;quot; of playing the lead, Hunnam went in to do an audition with Johnson, who was the director&amp;#039;s favorite: &amp;quot;[I] wanted to feel like [Christian Grey] was in my bones,&amp;quot; Hunnam explained. But it was when he began working with Johnson that, he says, &amp;quot;I knew that I definitely wanted to do it,&amp;quot; according to The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s just like a tangible chemistry between us. It felt exciting and fun and weird and compelling.&amp;quot;\u00A0 3. ...But his girlfriend isn&amp;#039;t threatened. Seriously. Hunnam&amp;#039;s girlfriend Morgana McNelis, a jewelry designer, was &amp;quot;a part of the decision-making process&amp;quot; when Hunnam decided to take the role, he said.\u00A0&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very hard to be with an actor. She&amp;#039;s required to share parts of me that she wouldn&amp;#039;t really want to share so of course with the nature of this role that&amp;#039;s going to be times ten. So it was a decision we made together but you know, she loved the books, she read them and loved them and she was really excited at the potential of this opportunity for me and if anything I think it will bring us closer.&amp;quot; 4. He&amp;#039;s not worried about the sex scenes.\u00A0 While Hunnam is best known for his role on\u00A0Sons of Anarchy, his breakout role was on the British show\u00A0Queer As Folk, which featured \u2014 in his words \u2014 &amp;quot;incredibly explicit sexual scenes with a man,&amp;quot; he said. If things get kinky in\u00A0Fifty Shades Of Grey, it&amp;#039;s nothing that he can&amp;#039;t handle. &amp;quot;If I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I could certainly do it at 33 with a lady.&amp;quot; Sound logic. \u00A0 Photos via\u00A0WireImage Follow Sam on\u00A0Twitter.
