"   Charlie Hunnam wasn&amp;#039;t exactly a favourite with fans when he was announced as Christian Grey for the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey film, but we were all shocked when the Pacific Rim actor dropped out of the role. The actor has finally come out in public since the news broke at the 2nd annual &amp;quot;Hogs for Heart&amp;quot; event benefiting One Heart Source Education Programs in Africa at Mo&amp;#039;s Restaurant in Burbank, Calif. And, chatting with E! News, he explained how he&amp;#039;s holding up since dropping out of the highly anticipated bonkbuster: &amp;quot;I am doing good. I am just really concentrating on work. It&amp;#039;s been a really busy time.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I have had some family stuff going on so just trying to stay focused and stay positive and keep trying to do a good job at work and be with my family and stay positive.&amp;quot; For those who do not know, Charlie&amp;#039;s father passed away in May; the actor travelled back to England to be with his family at the time and he&amp;#039;s now confirmed that, when his show Sons of Anarchy wraps, he will be returning to the UK. &amp;quot;Like I said, I&amp;#039;ve got some family stuff I have to tend to. So when I wrap the show, I am going to go to England and see my people and then I have a film that I am doing with Guillermo [del Toro]. So I am going to go and do that and concentrate on the final seasons of Sons.&amp;quot; That sounds like a very good idea to us - and it explains why Charlie, who was all set to play Christian Grey, cited his hectic TV schedule for dropping out of the role: &amp;quot;The filmmakers of &amp;#039;Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039; and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam&amp;#039;s immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey.&amp;quot; Dakota Johnson is still set to play the female lead, Anastacia Steele and, as of today, rumours have emerged that Jamie Dornan has officially auditioned for the role of Christian Grey. Let us know what you think of all this in the comments box below, or on Twitter @CosmopolitanUK; who should play Christian Grey now that Charlie has dropped out of the role?
