Charlie Hunnam has described his life as a 'succession of awkward phases.
Hunnam has revealed that he has always struggled to feel completely comfortable with himself when he was growing up and feeling 'awkward' was a regular thing.
Speaking to People Magazine, the actor said: "I find the awkward phases in life are cyclical more than something you grow out of.
"My life has been a long succession of awkward phases punctuated by brief moments where I feel smoother than Dr. Slinky McDoogle, inventor of the word mellifluous."
Hunnam has seen his star rocket in recent years with major roles in TV series Sons of Anarchy and movie Pacific Rim.
And now that Hunnam is in the spotlight, the actor takes greater care of himself and is keen to keep himself in shape for his job.
When asked to share his exercise secrets, Hunnam said: "Variety is the key. It stops me getting bored and it ensures that the whole body gets worked.
"I hike, swim, I love the Stairmaster. I lift heavy some days but I usually do calisthenics when I'm in the gym. I also box and do yoga."
We haven't seen Hunnam on the big screen since the success of Pacific Rim - which saw him team up with director Guillermo del Toro -last summer, but he will be back with Crimson Peak next year.
