Time for another news update from the cast of the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie. Dakota Johnson, who will be portraying Anastasia Steele in the upcoming flick, decided to go back to being a brunette. Meanwhile, Charlie Hunnam has finally opened up about why he chose to abandon the role of Christian Grey, a part that would later be portrayed by Jamie Dornan.
It might have taken a while, but Charlie Hunnam has finally addressed all of those 50 Shades of Grey rumors.
After Charlie beat out a number of prospective actors for the role of Christian Grey, he decided to abandon the project just a few weeks later. The buzz he generated from departing nearly rivaled the backlash he experienced on social media after EL James announced his casting.
While the production company stated that it was a scheduling conflict responsible for his departure, details were not divulged...until now.
The hunky actor recently spoke with Moviefone, where he was more than willing to speak about the role he walked away from. Turns out, Charlie was having a nervous breakdown:
"I wouldn't have signed up in the first place if I didn't want to do it...It was a really, really difficult time in my life. And then I just fell in love, creatively...I started talking about this thing and I just got so excited. I fell in love with the character and started seeing him and becoming intoxicated...[Due to a hectic work schedule] I just had like ... frankly, something of a nervous breakdown."
Former 50 Shades actors aren't the only ones in the news. Dakota Johnson, who actually completed the project she signed up for, is also generating buzz.
Of course, she didn't have to bare her soul like poor Charlie, she just had to dye her hair. After being blonde for quite some time, Dakota decided to spice up her hair color, as E! News tells readers:
"Dakota Johnson knows that Christian Grey prefers brunettes...Perhaps that's why, after a brief stint back as a blonde, the Fifty Shades of Grey star reverted to brown hair à la Anastasia Steele...The 24-year-old actress debuted her new darker 'do Thursday afternoon in New York City's SoHo neighborhood."
