Charlie Human Versus Charlie Hunnam for the Role of Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey Movie

by Amanda on Sep 4th, 2013

Charlie Human (above left) is a South African author who has just published his debut novel, Apocalypse Now Now. Charlie Hunnam (above right) is an English actor who can be seen most recently in the Sons of Anarchy series and the movie Pacific Rim. They are relatively easy to tell apart.

This distinction, however, has been lost on some people who have turned to Twitter to tell the wrong Charlie that he’s “soo sexy!!”:

Kicking off my new strategy of taking credit for everything Charlie Hunnam does. I get enough tweets directed at him.
