Career
Career: At the age of 17, Hunnam was discovered by a production manager for children’s show “Byker Grove” while buying shoes at JD Sports. He appeared in 3 episodes of the show, then briefly tried modeling; he did 2 modeling jobs (for Wall’s ice cream and Kangol caps), then told the agency that he no longer wanted to model. Since the modeling agency also represented actors, Charlie asked them to send him on auditions and ended up booking a role on Channel 4’s “Queer as Folk” on his first audition. Hunnam played rebellious 15-year-old student Nathan Maloney on 10 episodes of “Queer as Folk,” then appeared in his first film, 1999’s “Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?” Charlie moved to the United States and booked a 3-episode stint on the WB’s “Young Americans” (2000) before appearing in all 17 episodes of Fox’s “Undeclared” (2001-2002), which was created by Judd Apatow and also starred Jay Baruchel, Seth Rogen, and Loudon Wainwright. In 2012, “Undeclared” came in at #16 on “Entertainment Weekly” magazine’s “25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years” list.
Personal Life
Personal Life: Charlie married actress Katharine Towne in 1999 after dating her for just 3 weeks; he met her when they were both auditioning for “Dawson’s Creek,” and they divorced in 2002. Hunnam began a relationship with artist Morgana McNelis in 2005, and in 2016, Charlie had to publicly ask his fans to leave McNelis alone after some of them began attacking her online.
