Charlie Hunnam Says He Was Impressed By His 'The Gentlemen' Co-Stars Matthew McConaughey & Hugh Grant!

Charlie Hunnam stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (January 13) to dish all about his star-studded film, The Gentlemen!

The 39-year-old actor shared what it was like working with big stars like Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant and director Guy Ritchie in the film.

“Fantastic. Matthew and I had a long period of time to work together so I got to know him pretty well,” Charlie said about Matthew. “He’s just every bit of weird, wonderful, wacky and lovely as you’d imagine.”

On Hugh: “I didn’t know what to think, you know, coming in. I thought it could go one or two ways and I was prepared for either. He just was a treat,” he said. “We spent like four and half days together, he had 45 pages of dialogue to deliver. He’s Hugh Grant, he’s a giant movie star and he’s been doing this a long time, he came in very very nervous. He relies on the bible of notes he creates. I think he’s extraordinary. I don’t think I’ve ever been as impressed, being on the receiving end, on the opposite of an actor.”

Charlie Hunnam also ran through the series of unfortunate illnesses he contracted while filming a TV show in India, including dengue fever, and recounted the time he survived a dramatic yellow jacket wasp attack in the woods.
