He recently quit the movie Fifty Shades of Grey and Charlie Hunnam couldn't have looked more different from fictional kinky billionaire Christian Grey as he took to the streets of LA on Friday.

Indeed the 33-year-old British star looked much more like his Sons of Anarchy alter ego Jax Teller as he rode up to a juice bar in West Hollywood on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

In addition to the bike he rode, Hunnam also wore a German-style half-helmet, similar to the one preferred by Jax on the show.
