"Charlie Hunnam has said that he is taking the role of Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie &amp;quot;very seriously&amp;quot;. Hunnam and Dakota Johnson&amp;#039;s casting in the lead roles in the highly-anticipated film adaptation of EL James&amp;#039;s novel has been met with some criticism.  The actor has now shared with Entertainment Weekly that he understands some of the objections to him playing the suave businessman Christian Grey. &amp;quot;There are so many fans of that book and I know that on the surface, I&amp;#039;m probably not what everybody imagined,&amp;quot; Hunnam said. &amp;quot;Because reading is so personal and people bring a character to life in their imagination, they feel ownership over that character.&amp;quot; He went on to say: &amp;quot;[The pressure is] daunting if I allowed myself to think about it too much.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m taking it very seriously and intend to explore the nature of who this character is, what motivates him - and also dress up nice and look good in those suits.&amp;quot;  He has received the backing of Olivia Wilde, Brad Pitt and his Sons of Anarchy showrunner Kurt Sutter. Hunnam previously commented that he has no reservations about shooting Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039;s explicit sex scenes. Fifty Shades of Grey will be released next August and is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson.
