Charlie Hunnam has been a raspberry picker (occupational hazard: wasp stings), a sheepshearer (Which really grossed him out), and stonemason's laborer (14-hour days). But now 21-year-old Aries from Newcastle England, is playing Lloyd on the new Fox sitcom Undeclared, his job doesn't give him much to complain about. Who wouldn't want to be the smooth operator who schools his college buddies om the art of wooing women? After seing the show you'll definitly want to study Charlie and his cute British accent. 

AN EXCUSE TO GO SHOPPING (Like you need one): charlie was discovered in a shoe store in 1997. "A woman was staring at me as I was dancing around in my new sneaks. It tured out she was the production manager for a TV show in England program called Queer as Folk**. And she gave me a part on it." 

I'M NOT A CHEATER, BUT I PLAY ONE ON TV: "I'm pretty much a settle-down, girlfriend kind of guy. But my character. Lloyd is a raving womanizer." 

WHY YOU SHOULD COMPLIMENT HIS HAT: His wooly striped head-covering is his favorite possession. "I wear it every day whether it's hot or cold." 

HIS IDEA OF THE PERFECT GIFT: A painting "The cheapest present is painting something. That way you don't have to go shopping." But if he didn't shop, he might still be shearing sheep. 

WHAT HE MISSES MOST ABOUT ENGLAND: Sundays. "It's like any other day in America, but where I'm from most of the stores close and people chill out and go to the park or watch movies." 

WHY HE WIPED OUT AS A SURFER: "I learned to surf while I was jobless in L.A. Then I just got more and more terified as my surfing career went on. I thought a shark would eat me! Now I/m pretty much terified to even go into the water."
