Charlie Hunnam is best known for his work on Sons of Anarchy as the devastatingly handsome and annoyingly cool Jax Teller. Now, Hunnam is returning to the small screen for a role in a new Apple TV+ series called Shantaram which he filmed in India.
Recently, Hunnam spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about his experience, and as it turns out, it wasn't quite a walk in the park. He ended up having a pretty serious health scare.
While he was there, he got a bacterial gut infection, a viral gut infection, an acute respiratory infection, conjunctivitis in both eyes, a fever, and an ear infection.
Oh, and all this stemmed just from getting a mosquito bite. Talk about getting all the bad luck in the world!
While filming Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, Hunnam got pretty seriously injured, and was so trying to deal with that at the same time.
“I just finished doing the Zack Snyder film and got injured again." Hunnam said.
“It’s going to take two years to heal and I have a 40 percent tear on the ligament on the right side that holds my spinal column in place.”
Despite the show going on though, Hunnam did say that he's at an age where he is thinking more seriously about his body and problems that can arise. No matter how much people work out, as you get older, your body and your lifestyle tend to change.
"But the intrepid nature of these experiences go hand in hand with the stories that I’m drawn to, so it kind of goes with the territory,”
Shantaram premieres Friday, Oct. 7.
