Charlie Hunnam says actors who covet fame and money tend to ‘crash and burn’

Actor Charlie Hunnam has said that actors who ‘come in coveting fame and money’ tend to ‘crash and burn really quickly’. The actor, who has been in the industry for 20 years and has appeared in everything from successful TV shows to Hollywood tentpoles as a leading man, said that ‘almost everything about being famous is somewhat futile and irrelevant.’ Admitting that his job can’t be compared to rocket science or the military, he said that being an actor ‘is a fairly difficult job,’ and ‘it’s fairly difficult to sustain a career over many, many years.’ Hunnam has cultivated quite the impressive resume in his two-decade career. He said that in his opinion, ‘the defining characteristic that determines success in this business is the desire to be a storyteller with purity and authenticity.’ This image released by Netflix shows Garrett Hedlund, from left, Oscar Isaac, Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, and Pedro Pascal in a scene from the film, Triple Frontier. That really is the greatest success of an actor’s career.’ Triple Frontier also stars Pedro Pascal and Garrett Hedlund.
