"Pacific Rim's" Charlie Hunnam has reportedly been entertaining the idea of quitting acting and going professional on the Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC.

According to a report on the Inquisitr, rumors swirled that the actor may be thinking of leaving the entertainment world after he expressed interest on UFC.

The gossip rooted from his recent interview with TMZ where Hunnam said he has thought of wanting to fight UFC's Conor McGregor.

"I was just doing a film and I had to lose a lot of weight and that's why I'm a little skinny right now and I got down to 145 pounds, which was my goal, and I thought maybe I could fight Conor McGregor but I don't think it would go too well for me," he said in jest to the source above as cited by Fox Sports in November. "Maybe seven and a half seconds before getting knocked out but it would be a great seven and a half seconds."

Though "Pacific Rim's" Charlie Hunnam was just joking about his UFC plans, will girlfriend Morgana McNelis support him if he did?

Jewel designer Morgana McNelis and the actor himself has been very private about their relationship. But in an interview with Taylor magazine last October, she somehow said that the secret to their partnership was always being supportive with each other's interests.

"I think the key to maintaining a good balance is creating a safe space within the relationship for both partners in which to grow and evolve," the jewel designer said. "It's very important to be present and participate in each other's experiences so that falling in love doesn't happen just once, it continues to happen over and over."

Amid the UFC rumors, "Pacific Rim's" Charlie Hunnam and girlfriend Morgana McNelis also made a rare public appearance last Saturday. As told by Mail Online, the couple attended a Hollywood bash hosted by Jennifer Klein.
