‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Fans Leave Underwear At Charlie Hunnam’s Door To Show Support For His Christian Grey Movie Role Amid Quitting Rumors

"Fifty Shades of Grey" has devoted fans, and the fans of the movie adaptation are no different. They are reportedly leaving underwear, including bras, panties and other lingerie, at Charlie Hunnam's door, to show support for him being cast as Christian Grey amid rumors that he was thinking of quitting the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.

"We've seen frilly knickers, bras and even stockings left at his door by some fans of the book as they try to get his attention," said Charlie Hunnam's Los Angeles neighbour, according to The Daily Star, Entertainmentwise reports.

"It has been very odd. I've never seen anything quite like it."

The underwear is probably being left at Hunnam's door by fans who want to show that they support him being cast as Christian Grey.

The book's author, E.L. James, confirmed Charlie Hunnam was cast as Christian Grey in the beginning of September, alongside Dakota Johnson, who will play Anastasia Steele. The announcement didn't go down well with fans of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" book; a petition was even created, which 85,000 people signed, to show how angry they were at the decision.

The producer, Dana Brunetti, defended the choice for Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey, tweeting: "There is a lot that goes into casting that isn't just looks. Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc. So if your favourite wasn't cast, then it is most likely due to something on that list. Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective."

Rumors recently began to swirl that Hunnam was thinking about quitting the film after the extreme fan backlash.

It's been rumored that filming of "Fifty Shades of Grey" will begin next month and that the official trailer will be shown Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 2), IB Times reports.

Hunnam, 33, is most known for his roles in "Pacific Rim," "Queer as Folk," and "Sons of Anarchy."
