Is this the girlfriend who's the Jewellery designer?
Yeah he says that when SOA is still running, but that show is coming to an end and there are the basic economics of Hollywood to consider.
I just don't think Hunnam is a good enough actor (at this stage) not to consider the role, regardless of the artistic merit of this project it's guaranteed to net the leads huge exposure which buys them career currency and thereby choices. Even if you're pursuing a career based on artistic integrity I doubt it would have been that difficult to convince someone in his position to do the role.
I can't stand the book and it'll take a lot of convincing for me watch the film but I have a sneaking suspicion this movie might turn out better than people think... which admittedly doesn't say much.
No, he said that even before he was on SoA. After Green Street and before landing SoA he didn't work for almost 2 years because they only offered him crap. So he turned to screenwriting. He said he lived very low budget only eating beans out of cans and stuff. It's not like he's desperate. Pacific Rim was a mild success which led to new opportunities with del Torro. I don't know what made him change his mind because until recently he said stuff like this:
I knew you'd correct me.My main point was that he's an average actor (I'm sorry but he's been bad in a lot of stuff) who doesn't enjoy unlimited options. He's enjoyed mild success that can be mostly attributed to his looks, if he's going to make a go at a more high profile career his options will only diminish as he ages. Because of that I don't think people can judge the decision too harshly.

I don't judge anything. I have an opinion about it which ultimately will influence my decision to not see this movie. Period.
I think he's an excellent actor, but then I've only seen him in the past few years as Jax in Sons of Anarchy, 3,2,1 Frankie (he was fine, film was bad) and Queer as Folk. He's brilliant as Jax, that role was made for him. 
But I also like that he can play a variety of characters. I've not seen Green Street or The Ledge, but I have The Ledge sitting here from Netflix waiting to be watched.
He said in an interview that he had tried out for parts in which he was told he was very good and they would like to use him but they had to go with a bigger name to draw an audience, you could tell it was frustrating for him. No one can speak for him but him, but I do think that may have something to do with his decision to take the role. It will be interesting to see how he addresses the question in interviews, you know he's going to get asked what made him decide to take the role. Though given that his break-out role was in Queer as Folk, I really don't think anyone should be that surprised this was something he was willing to do.
