Charlie Hunnam to Star as ‘Psycho’ and ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Inspiration Ed Gein in ‘Monster’ Season 3
Charlie Hunnam is joining the “Monster” cinematic universe.
The “Sons of Anarchy” and “King Arthur” actor has been cast as the serial killer Ed Gein for the coming third installment of Ryan Murphy’s “Monster” anthology series. Production will begin in October 2024.
Gein was infamous for crafting clothing out of human skin from his victims. He confessed to the murders of two women and was suspected of killing seven others between 1947 and 1957. Gein was a grave robber, notorious for exhuming corpses from what was supposed to be their final resting place.
He’s already been, in some way, memorialized by Hollywood. Gein inspired the characters of Norman Bates in “Psycho” and Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs,” as well as Leatherface in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
