Garrett Hedlund Excited to See Charlie Hunnam's Performance in 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story
Garrett Hedlund is excited to see his friend Charlie Hunnam's performance in the upcoming Netflix show "Monster: The Ed Gein Story." The show, set to premiere next month, released its first trailer recently, and Hedlund is impressed by Hunnam's dedication to the role of serial killer Ed Gein. The two actors previously worked together in the film "Triple Frontier" and are always on the lookout for new projects to collaborate on, particularly ones that involve playing brothers.
Hunnam and Hedlund have been friends for over 15 years, and their bond translated well on the set of "Triple Frontier," where their characters were eventually changed to become brothers due to their physical resemblance and similar vibes. The director, J.C. Chandor, noticed the chemistry between the two actors and decided to rewrite the script to make them on-screen siblings. This change required minimal effort from Hunnam and Hedlund to create a believable brotherly bond.
The friendship between Hunnam and Hedlund extends beyond the screen, with the two actors sharing a close relationship off-camera as well. Their camaraderie was evident during the filming of "Triple Frontier," where they engaged in friendly wrestling matches on the beach. Despite the paparazzi capturing their playful antics, Hunnam emphasized that their interactions were not intended for public consumption but rather a reflection of their genuine friendship.
As Hunnam gears up for his role in "Monster: The Ed Gein Story," Hedlund eagerly anticipates seeing his friend's performance on screen. The trailer for the show has already piqued his interest, and he is confident that Hunnam's hard work and dedication to the role will shine through in his portrayal of the infamous serial killer. With their shared passion for acting and desire to collaborate on future projects, Hunnam and Hedlund continue to support each other's careers and explore new opportunities to work together in the future.
