Netflix’s Charlie Hunnam suprises Geordies in LA ahead of new Monster

While holidaying in Los Angeles, they stumbled across an Emmy Awards pre-party days before the Sons of Anarchy actor’s latest Netflix release.

TikTok creators Nathan and Grace, who post as @nathanandgrace, shared footage of the chance encounter after spotting Newcastle-born actor Charlie Hunnam leaving a Netflix pre-Emmy party.

The duo, who boast over one million followers, couldn’t believe they managed to spark a conversation about their shared North East roots.

Speaking to the actor, Grace said: “I’m a fellow Geordie!”

Hunnam asked: “Where did you grow up?”

When Grace said she was from North Shields, Hunnam replied: “Love it. I was just back there for like two weeks in February.”

Grace then told the Hollywood star: “You’re doing amazing.”

The chance meeting came just days before the release of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story – the latest instalment in Netflix’s hit true-crime anthology series.

The series premiered on Thursday (September 17) and stars Charlie Hunnam as Andrew Borden, the father of accused axe murderer Lizzie Borden.

The eight-part drama explores the infamous 1892 Massachusetts murders of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother, for which she was accused but acquitted.

The role marks Hunnam’s return to the Monster franchise after he played serial killer Ed Gein in Monster: The Ed Gein Story last year, earning widespread praise.

Born in Newcastle, Hunnam found fame in children’s drama Byker Grove before starring in Queer as Folk, Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and The Gentlemen.

The 40-year-old has spoken warmly about returning home, making his conversation with the North Shields creators especially memorable.

The TikTok video has attracted thousands of views over the last two days, capturing the unexpected meeting between two Geordies thousands of miles from home as Hunnam showcases his latest major Netflix role.
