Charlie Hunnam's Boner Is Really Excited About Fifty Shades of Grey

Anyone who’s worried about Charlie Hunnam‘s boner getting stage fright on the set of the Fifty Shades movie better think again, because Charlie Hunnam’s boner is unflappable. More than that — it’s a veteran boner, having done a tour of duty in Queer as Folk more than a decade ago.

Asked if he’s ready for all the graphic sex duties that come with playing Christian Grey, Hunnam said:

My first job was on a Channel 4 miniseries called Queer as Folk. It was incredibly explicit sexual scenes with a man. I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.

He also said that he and co-star Dakota Johnson have “tangible chemistry,” which could mean that this movie will one day replace Showgirls as go-to, premium cable masturbation material for a whole generation of 13-year-olds. [THR]
