Charlie Hunnam was born April 10, 1980 in Newcastle, England. He was raised in a working-class family. His mother was a businesswoman who sold gifts and his father was a scrap metal merchant. Life was not easy, but Charlie was taught at an early age what hard work really was.

He was not, as he would describe it, an all-star student in school, but he had a passion for movies and storytelling. Charlie would later take a performing arts course at a college in Cumbria, which enabled him to do more acting and get used to being on stage.

His first stage role came in an unexpected manner for Charlie. Then, one day, he was shopping in a shoe store when he was only 17. A TV producer spotted him and figured he had a nice face for TV. That moment changed his life. His first small-screen role was as a character on a British teen show, Byker Grove.

Shortly after this, Charlie landed a larger part in a series named Queer as Folk, which was popular in the UK. People began to take notice of his talent. He wasn’t making anything near big money yet, but these early opportunities granted him experience and also a foot in the acting world.

Breakthrough: Sons of Anarchy

Charlie Hunnam’s major breakout role came in 2008 when he was cast as Jackson “Jax” Teller on Sons of Anarchy. The show aired for seven seasons on FX and made Charlie a worldwide celebrity.

· Estimated salary per episode: 100,000 USD

· Total show earnings: More than $5 million

Not only did this role increase his pay, but it also raised his profile in Hollywood. It opened doors to lead roles in big-budget films.

Major Films and Box Office Earnings

Charlie Hunnam was a well-known actor who got his big break from being in Sons of Anarchy and then went on to star in major Hollywood films. He didn’t accept every film that was offered to him. Rather, he chose roles in which he fits. Throughout the years, he has appeared in plenty of incredible projects, which have earned him more money and have put his name out there in the movie industry.

Pacific Rim (2013)

This was one of the first big movie roles for Charlie. He was a pilot who helped beat off giant monsters with giant robots. The movie was a box office success.

He received about $1.5 million for that role.

The Lost City of Z (2016)

In this film, Charlie starred as a British explorer who ventures into the deep Amazon jungle. It was a little bit of a dramatic film, and it proved that Charlie could handle tougher roles.

This part earned him more recognition as an actor.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

Charlie was cast in the action-filled movie as King Arthur. Although the film didn’t perform too well in the theaters, Charlie did very well.

He was paid roughly $2 million for this film.

The Gentlemen (2019)

This was a Guy Ritchie-style crime movie. Charlie was a cool, collected fixer for a drug lord. The soundtrack included Oldfield’s hit single, and the movie was a box office hit, with fans embracing his performance.

This movie was a good project that he added to his list, off his successful records.

Film Title	Release Year	Role	Box Office Earnings (Global)	Estimated Salary
Pacific Rim	2013	Raleigh Becket	$411 million	$1.5 million
The Lost City of Z	2016	Percy Fawcett	$19 million	Not publicly known

Green Street (Green Street Hooligans)	2005	Pete Dunham	$4.3 million	Not publicly known
Children of Men (small role)	2006	Patric	$70 million	Not publicly known

Throughout the years, it could be said that Charlie has had an impressive choice of work commitments. He may not show up in a movie every year, but he generally chooses something meaningful. These films have contributed to landing him in the millions and pushing him as an actor.

Brand Endorsements and Other Ventures

Charlie Hunnam is not the sort of celebrity you typically see splashed across huge TV ads or high-wattage brand deals. He likes being private. But still, a few brands have been willing to hire him, especially in fashion and grooming.

He has been linked over the years with:

· Men’s personal care products (such as beard oils and skin care)

· Stylish clothing brands

· Luxury watches

They’re not the biggest chunk of his income, but they constitute some extra cash flow — around $500,000 a year. It’s a pretty sweet add-on to his acting income.
