Sons of Anarchy fans in Laredo, TX got a pleasant surprise yesterday when Charlie Hunnam was spotted around town. Several fans took to social media to share photos of Charlie arriving at the Dallas/FortWorth Airport and, later, waving from the balcony of his hotel.
Hunnam is only expected to be in town for a couple of days. Rumor has it he is doing research for his upcoming movie, American Drug Lord.
According to Deadline, the movie “is based on the story of Edgar Valdez, a high school football player from Texas who would become the only U.S. citizen to rise to the level of cartel leader in Mexico. From his base in Acapulco Valdez, who went by the nickname La Barbie which was given him by his high school football coach, made $130 million in one year moving drugs from Colombia. He became increasingly feared and allegedly ratcheted up the violence that involved filming the brutal executions of rivals and posting them on the Internet. As the drug riches escalated along with the violence, the rival cartels turned on one another, with the help of crooked cops. Valdez’s life became a struggle to stay alive.”
American Drug Lord is expected to be shot, at least in part, in Laredo later this year.
If you spot Hunnam around town this week, let us know via Twitter.
