14 DAY TRIAL // San Diego Comic-Con 2014 ended on Sunday, after 4 days filled with exciting events, appearances, and releases in both film and television. “Sons of Anarchy,” whose 7th and final season airs this fall on FX, was also there, but leading man Charlie Hunnam wasn’t.
He had other, more important business to attend to, as he explains in this video he sent over for fans attending the convention. The message is also a direct thank-you to the fans, for keeping the show on air for so long and making it so successful.
“Hello lovely people of Comic-Con. I’m recording this message because unfortunately I can’t be with you this year. I hate to miss Comic-Con on the final season of the show, but for the future and safety of America, my presence is required elsewhere,” Charlie tells the camera.
He was actually shooting a spread for Vogue magazine.
As the frame enlarges, the video shows that Charlie is actually getting a full spa treatment, from his other “SOA” co-stars no less. Tommy Flanagan is giving him a manicure, Mark Boone Junior is giving him a massage (which offers a nice, clear shot of his muscular back and perfect derriere), while Kim Coates is keeping him cool by fanning him.
It’s amazing whenever celebrities remember to do something for the fans, particularly when they don’t really have to. No one would have minded if Hunnam hadn’t taped this funny message, but he did it either way.
