Charlie Hunnam Details Nearly 30-Pound Transformation To Play Ed Gein

Charlie Hunnam is unrecognizable in "Monster: The Ed Gein Story," but preparing to portray the American serial killer took a toll on the English actor. "I was really terrified of it," he told Access Hollywood. "I found myself in a really black pit of despair, when I was doing all of the research because there is not a lot of very human text about Ed, it's very much these sorts of celebrations of the grotesque a lot of the books that have been written about him," he added, noting why he felt it was important to try and find some understanding of Gein during his process. Charlie also explained to Access why he lost 28 pounds just three weeks before filming started and broke down how he nailed the creepy voice. "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is streaming on Netflix now. 0:00 - Ed Gein: The Real-Life Horror Inspiration 3:50 - The Research Process 5:37 - Losing 30 Pounds for the Role 6:28 - The Emotional Truth of Ed Gein's Voice » SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiKGMZZmZXK-RpbKJGXgH3Q?sub_confirmation=1 » Visit Our Website: http://accessonline.com Get More Access : Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/accesshollywood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/accesshollywood Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/accesshollywood/#AccessHollywood "Access Hollywood" is an entertainment news show featuring Mario Lopez, Kit Hoover, Scott Evans, and co-host Zuri Hall.
