The Charlie Hunnam Story

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Charlie Hunnam (@charliematthewhunnam)

Charles Matthew Hunnam was born on April 10th, 1980, in Newcastle upon Tyne in England. He was raised by his mother, who was a ballet dancer. As a youth, Charlie played rugby. He also fought often, leading to his expulsion from grammar school. From then on he was homeschooled. After completing school, he attended the Cumbria College of Art and Design in Carlisle, where he studied performing arts. 

Charlie was discovered by a TV talent scout when he was 17. His first TV role was in the teen drama, Byker Grove. A year later, he was cast in the drama Queer as Folk. 

In 1999, Charlie moved to the United States and landed a recurring role in Young Americans. His first movie role was Abandon (2002). In 2005, he returned to the UK to star in the movie Green Street. 

Between 2008 and 2014, Hunnam played the role of Jackson Teller in the show Sons of Anarchy. He had to pack on muscle mass for the part. A succession of movie roles followed, including The Lost City of Z in 2015 and The Gentlemen in 2019. 

In 2017, he played the title role in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. For this part, he followed a strict diet and training regime to get as lean as possible.

Charlie has also established himself as a successful screenwriter. 

Charlie Hunnam Workout Program

Charlie Hunnam is a busy guy. While shooting for Sons of Anarchy, he was on the set for 14-15 hours every day. He would then go to the gym, demonstrating the discipline he has come to be known for.

Hunnam mainly does bodyweight workouts, consisting of exercises like pull-ups, push-ups, and dips for high reps.

Monday & Tuesday: Full Body Workout

On Monday and Tuesday, Charlie does a full body calisthenic type workout involving five compound exercises. Even though he’s not using weights, he’ll often hit the gym to pump this program out in around 45 minutes.

Here’s the workout:

  • Wide-grip pull-up: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Dips: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Military push-up: 3 sets of 25 reps
  • Chin-up: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Decline push-up: 3 sets of 25 reps

Charlie finishes his workout with an abdominal circuit involving the following exercises:

  • Crunch
  • Mountain Climber
  • Knee Tuck
  • Reverse Crunch

He does 25 reps on each exercise, with no rest between exercises. He completes three rounds of the circuit with a 60-second rest between sets.

Wednesday: HIIT and Cardio

Every Wednesday, Charlie will do some form of cardio exercise. It often involves training on traditional gym equipment such as the treadmill, rowing machine, or elliptical. However, he will often skip the gym and go for a run in the woods or cycle around his neighborhood.  

Thursday & Friday: Full Body Workout

On Thursdays and Fridays, Charlie again works his entire body. This time, though, he throws in a couple of free weight exercises (squats and dumbbell rows).

  • Squat: 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Wide push-up: 3 sets of 25 reps
  • Bent-over dumbbell row: 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Parallel dips: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Reverse-grip pull-up: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Hanging leg raise: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Lying leg raise: 3 sets of 20 reps
  • Plank: 3 sets of 2 minutes

Saturdays & Sundays

Charlie doesn’t train on the weekends. However, he often plays sports and games that keep his body moving. It acts as a form of active recovery for him.

Some days, to mix things up, Charlie will do a bodyweight challenge where he will do the following exercises:

  • 75 Pull-ups
  • 150 Bodyweight squat
  • 150 Push-ups

To achieve the high rep count, he’ll break them down into sets of 8 to 15 on the pull-ups and 50 on the squats and push-ups.

Charlie Hunnam Nutrition Program

Charlie follows a well-balanced diet containing high protein, medium carbohydrates, and low fat. He eats plenty of vegetables, lean animal proteins, and complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal and sweet potatoes. He has a sweet tooth and occasionally indulges in his favorite desserts. His favorite treat foods are ice cream and chocolate.

Charlie is quoted as saying, “Good-quality air travel and good-quality food are the two luxuries that I never feel any guilt indulging in.”

To get as ripped as possible for his role in King Arthur, Charlie removed all junk food from his diet and went so low on carbs that he was essentially following a ketogenic diet.
