Charlie Hunnam Shares How He Balances Intense Roles with Partner Morgana McNelis, Reveals Post-Filming Grave Visit

Los Angeles, CA – Actor Charlie Hunnam recently offered a candid look into the demanding nature of his craft and the strategies he employs to maintain a healthy personal life. Speaking about his latest role as a serial killer in 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story,' Hunnam described the part as "a really heavy role."When asked about leaving such intense characters behind and not bringing them home, Hunnam credited his long-term partner, Morgana McNelis. "Morgana is always so generous with me and understanding of my need to sort of disappear when I work," he stated. He elaborated on their relationship, noting, "We've been together a long, long time and she knows that it just doesn't really work trying to compete with work."To counteract the absorption in his roles, Hunnam revealed a specific agreement with McNelis. "What I do is I make sure I give her all of my undivided attention when I'm not working," he explained. "We made a rule a long time ago: when I finish a job, I sort of disappear, go do the job, and she said when you come back, just make sure you're ready to see me."Following his work on the Ed Gein project, Hunnam took a week to decompress. He shared a unique aspect of this process: "I was in Chicago, so I went up to Plainfield where Ed Gein was from and visited his grave, which was just something I decided was like a fitting way to say goodbye." This unconventional method highlights the profound impact his roles have on him and his dedication to fully detach before returning to his personal life.
