If you are the one who hates Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, think twice. Hottest hunk Brad Pitt has come forward and praised the 33-year-old actor and is confident that he will do a good job. Though we would have loved to see Brad play the role a few years earlier, the actor has called Hunnam "good egg."

"I know Charlie - he's a great guy! "He's a good egg and one of the guys that are putting story and craft first. I hope good things for him," Brad told Access Hollywood. Brad was questioned about his opinion about Charlie Hunnam landing the role of Christian Grey, while he was promoting his own new movie "12 Years A Slave" at the Toronto Film Festival this week. We are all well aware that Brad's girl Angelina Jolie too expressed her desire to star as Anastasia Steele for the movie!

Hunnam also has the support of his "Deadfall" co-star Olivia Wilde, with whom he shared a steamy love scene in the movie. The cheeky actress called the movie with her as an experience and preparation for Hunnam, for the upcoming movie which is expected to have lots of sex and bondage scenes.

"I'd like to think that our love scenes sort of prepared him for this experience," Olivia told E! News. "Audiences should just shut up and wait to be surprised, wait to be delighted," the actress said.

Hunnam will star opposite Dakota Johnson in the movie based on the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E L James. Internet fans of the widely hit novel, which is based on bondage sex, were hugely disappointed when the two names of lead actors were announced for the movie, as they thought that both Hunnam and Wilde were not "sexy enough" to portray the characters who share steamy chemistry

Dakota Johnson however has the approval from the writer of the novel E L James herself. Johnson was photographed over the weekend having lunch with James. The first of the three films will open in theatres in August 2014.
