He's hardly Jax Teller! Sons Of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam manages to keep his cool as his motorbike gets a parking ticket

No parking officer would dare give his motorcycle gang character a ticket on his show Sons Of Anarchy, but in real life Charlie Hunnam cannot escape the long arm of the law.
The British actor looked as if he had just walked off the set of his popular show as he prepared to jump on his Harley Davidson motorbike in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday.
But thanks to a diligent parking inspector, the 32-year-old found an unwelcome surprise when he got back to his bike - a ticket for an expired parking meter.

Probably regretting not using the nearby parking garage, it seems the television star forgot to feed his meter as he enjoyed lunch with a friend at the Maison Midi cafe.
Unlike his sometimes hot headed character Jax Teller - the president of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club - Charlie did not lose his cool.
Instead the blonde haired actor quickly looked at the financial damage and smiled, shoving it in his pocket before hopping on the all black customised Harley.

Showing he can live life on the edge like his gangster character in the FX series, the 32-year-old  forgo the safety of wearing leathers and went for comfort instead.
The Green Street Hooligans star did not look very Hollywood wearing baggy navy sweatpants, a grey zip-up hooded jumper, a sleeveless puffer vest with matching gloves and a beanie under his helmet.
The actor also went without motorcycle boots instead wearing Nike sneakers.

Charlie need not worry about the cost of his parking ticket as the actor's star is set to explode this year after joining forces with director Guillermo del Toro in new scifi thriller Pacific Rim.
Currently in post production the film is set for release in July and also stars fellow Sons Of Anarchy actor - and Charlie's onscreen step-father - Ron Perlman.

The film obviously went well, as Charlie is now reportedly in negotiations to star in the cult director's next film, Crimson Peak, with Emma Stone.
Despite often finding himself on the world's sexiest man list of a number of publications, Emma's boyfriend Andrew Garfield need not worry about any on set chemistry as the blonde hunk is in a long term relationship with Los Angles-based jewelry designer Morgana McNelis.
The pair have been dating for over six years but actor revealed to Elle Magazine if anything it will be his girlfriend who 'puts a ring' on it before he does.
He told Elle: 'She told me she was making me a diamond encrusted ring - she’s a jewelry designer, not an actor - and I was like ''Uh-oh. This is not going to go well for me.''  But I love it. It’s so discrete and beautiful.'
Charlie also told the magazine he and his character Jax do have a lot in common.
'A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people.
'I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage. But I don't condemn the guys who say,  ''This society we’ve created is kind of [messed up], and I’m willing to take it down - for selfish gain - but also to make a point.'"
