Charlie Hunnam stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday, 22 May 2026, unveiling a strikingly different look as the Sons of Anarchy star promoted his new Netflix project Monster: The Ed Gein Story at a SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations event.

The appearance marked one of Hunnam's few recent public outings and came after months of quiet preparation for the role, which sees the British actor portray notorious killer Ed Gein. For those who haven't kept close tabs on his career since Sons of Anarchy ended in 2014, the transformation may have seemed especially sharp. The 46-year-old, once synonymous with leather jackets and Californian biker grit, now cut a markedly more refined figure at The Meryl Streep Center for Performing Artists.
