Charlie Hunnam has revealed that he deliberately avoids reading reviews of his work, a habit he says he developed early in his acting career after a difficult experience with critical backlash.
The 45-year-old actor, who recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Monster: The Ed Gein Story, said he often remains unaware of how his projects are received by critics and audiences alike. While this helps him avoid negativity, it also means missing out on praise and hype.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Hunnam explained that the decision came after he was exposed to harsh reviews following his 2005 film Green Street Hooligans. Despite the movie gaining a strong following among fans, he said critics were particularly unkind at the time.
“I don’t read any of it — not for years,” Hunnam said, noting that he has followed this practice throughout his 27-year career. He added that the experience taught him he did not need to subject himself to that level of scrutiny again.

Hunnam said tuning out external noise has helped him stay focused on his craft rather than public reaction. Although largely detached from reviews, he is now aware of the recognition surrounding his performance as serial killer Ed Gein.
The actor is set to be honored alongside other nominees at the Golden Globe Awards, scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 11.
