Charlie Hunnam had to be hospitalised after becoming "incredibly sick".
The 43-year-old actor suddenly took ill when he was supposed to be at the premiere of his new movie Rebel Moon in Los Angeles on Wednesday (December 13), so he discharged himself from the London hospital that he had been admitted to because he has "never missed an hour of work" in his whole career.
"I got incredibly sick and was in the hospital in London 32 hours ago, I just checked out of the hospital just to come here," he told Access Hollywood. "The last, I would say, 48 hours have been a real trial, but here we are. We're here, we're smiling. I, in 25 years, am proud to say have never missed an hour of work in my career. I just show up no matter what."
Meanwhile, the Sons of Anarchy actor got his big break at the age of just 18 playing gay teenager Nathan Maloney in the cult series Queer as Folk — which spawned a US version starring Gale Harold and Randy Harrison — before cracking Hollywood and recently admitted he would "love" to do a reunion as he recalled being "plucked from obscurity" to star in the risque show.
"Around the time of the 25th anniversary [of the original Queer as Folk], while it never came to anything, there was a very brief exploratory conversation about everybody's appetite to come back for a reunion. I'd love to do [something like] that," he shared with British GQ.
"I mean, I had absolutely no idea [how popular the show would be]. I was plucked from total obscurity. I was a virgin who knew nothing about the world, at all — from this little town in the Lake District to being thrust into that," he continued.
"So there's a part of it that felt like it would just be lovely to go back and play with all of those wonderful, talented people, now with some experience under my belt. Being able to make the most of the experience, rather than just trying not to drown."
