Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson didn't speak on Lost City of Z set
Charlie Hunnam seems like an affable chap. But not if you’re Robert Pattinson.
The Geordie star of ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and ‘Pacific Rim’ paints a rather icy picture of his relationship with the ‘Twilight’ star on period adventure movie ‘The Lost City of Z’.
Hunnam was coming straight into the production having only just finished Guy Ritchie’s new take on the Knights of the Round Table myth, ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’.
“King Arthur was incredibly demanding,” he told Screen International.
“I was in almost every scene and shooting long hours. By the time we finished shooting, I only had ten days before I started shooting this. I was filled with panic. I used every second of that time to try and transform myself psychologically and physically because I was muscle bound and in action hero mode.”
But it seems once he arrived on set, he and Pattinson just didn’t manage to hit it off.
“I had a couple of rehearsal sessions with Sienna [Miller], but I didn’t spend any time with Tom [Hollond] or Robert,” he went on.
“I wanted these relationships to evolve naturally on screen. Through the work, I don’t think I said more than 10 words to Robert [Pattinson] off camera.
“I didn’t know if he was just ‘in that zone’ or if he genuinely didn’t like me. There was a real distance between us. But it creates the right dynamic on screen.
“He’s reached out to me subsequently, making overtures for us to be friends now, so I think it was about the work.”
The movie finds Hunnam Lieutenant Colonel Percival Harrison Fawcett, a real-life adventurer and archaeologist who disappeared in 1925 following an expedition to the Amazon to find an ancient lost city he called simply ‘Z’.
Directed by James Gray, it’s out now across the UK.
