12 Roles actors were too afraid to take (With Pictures)

10. Charlie Hunnam – Jamie Dornan in Fifty Shades of Grey

The Sons of Anarchy star was originally cast in the lead for the highly anticipated adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. He later dropped out, telling Moviefone that he had a “nervous breakdown” about the role. “I just said, ‘I can’t, I can’t,’” Hunnamsaid. “Fifty’s going to be massive, it’s going to be huge. I really didn’t want to fail on such a grand scale and I just couldn’t transition from Jax Teller to Christian Grey in 48 hours. I bit off more than I could chew and it was painful. I loved the character and I wanted to do it … It was one of those damned if you do, damned if you don’t situations.”
