Charlie Hunnam has been discussing his lead role in the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey - and promises he's taking it "very seriously".

The casting of the Sons Of Anarchy actor and Dakota Johnson in the big-screen version of EL James' erotic novel has caused a stir among fans.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Charlie said he understood the unhappiness.

"There are so many fans of that book and I know that on the surface, I'm probably not what everybody imagined," he said.

"Because reading is so personal and people bring a character to life in their imagination, they feel ownership over that character."

And he admitted that the pressure would be "daunting if I allowed myself to think about it too much".

He added: "I'm taking it very seriously and intend to explore the nature of who this character is, what motivates him - and also dress up nice and look good in those suits."

He recently revealed that he struggled to decide whether he should take the role.
