Charlie Hunnam Was Beard Shamed by Robert Pattinson

This month yields the release of The Lost City of Z starring Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam. Ever since we saw those telling set pictures back in 2015, we knew glorious facial hair would be a staple of the film. I mean, look at that mustache on Charlie! And that beard on Robert! What we didn't realize, though, was that the facial hair led to some hilarious "tension" behind the scenes. When we caught up with Charlie at the film's LA premiere, he shared a funny story about the first few days of filming.

"I showed up with a rather lovely looking beard," Charlie explained, "and Rob showed up and said, 'Haha! That's a lovely little beard. A lovely little beard.' Because he had this magnificent creation, and I said, 'All right, I guess I'm shaving, because there's no competing with that.' But I did have a very strong mustache, so there you go. . . . That's all you need." Whatever helps you sleep at night, Charlie.
