Charlie Hunnam Regrets Making Those Comments About Marriage: It 'Really Hurt My Girlfriend's Feelings'

Charlie Hunnam recently did an interview where he was asked if he and his longtime partner Morgana McNelis would get married and what their views of marriage are.

“Umm, sort of indifferent,” Charlie responded. “She does not feel the same. She is very eager to get married. I’ll do it because it’s important to her, but I don’t have any, sort of, great romantic feelings towards it.”

Well, TooFab caught up with the actor and he said he regrets those comments!

“You know what? That was a stupid thing to say,” Charlie said. “Sometimes the tone of an interview… you know, that interview was just like a lot of banter, and Hugh was sort of bantering in a very superficial — not disingenuous — but not really speaking his personal truth — we’re all just bantering. And all of a sudden we’re bantering about one thing and I get asked my opinion about marriage. I just said something that doesn’t really reflect my true thoughts at all.”

He added, “It’s like being with your pals, sometimes not thinking like… you’re not trying to articulate your sincere opinion about something; and then you see it in black and white.”

Charlie added, “I have to say that really hurt my girlfriend’s feelings. I really regretted saying that, cause I actually didn’t mean it at all. it was just, frankly, some stupid sh*t I said in the heat of the moment.”

“I’m like so romantic! The reality is I sort of consider myself married. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 14 years… I suppose what I was trying to articulate was that the official government sanctioning of it doesn’t mean anything to me; but the romance of it means an enormous amount. I really regret saying that,” he continued. “Listen, you spent 12 hours a day for three days doing interviews straight, you’re gonna say some stupid shit. Especially a guy like me that’s not that smart.”

Charlie and Morgana aren’t often photographed together but they were seen out a few months ago.
