Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie & Rami, finally Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek attended a screening for their film Papillon this weekend. It opens on Friday and it’s been a while.

Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron, Charlie, and Opie Charlie Hunnam gave an interview last year while promoting The Lost City Of Z, casually dropping into conversation that he’s close with My Obsession, Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and as a I wrote at the time, my head exploded.

Quiveration Mr Charlie Hunnam Charlie Hunnam is featured in the new issue of Mr Porter. He’s promoting both The Lost City Of Z and King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword.

Aaron Johnson My Obsession visits my Obsession? Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have been travelling the last few days. At least that’s what she seems to be telling us on Instagram.
