"I just, there was a bit of a timing issue where I just wanted to ensure that I was going to have enough time to really do the preparation so I can bring this guy to life and do him justice, and when they decided to push the schedule to accommodate that, then I was a no-brainer and I was in," he said. While Hunnam is excited to play Grey, his girlfriend, Morgana McNelis, isn't particularly excited about him filming explicit love scenes with Johnson, the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. "Of course, it's difficult being with an actor, you know?" said Hunnam. "She is required to share certain parts of me with the world that she wouldn't necessarily choose to do, but we have a great relationship and she loves me and wants to be with me and we've been together a long time now, and I think she understands and has come to terms with the fact that there are certain elements of me that she is going to have to share. This is an extreme example of that, but thankfully we do have
7 1/2 years of history together, so it won't be a big problem." Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the film is to be released next August.
