Charlie Hunnam is dead at 34! At least that's what several sites are claiming as of late. The "Sons of Anarchy" actor allegedly died last Tuesday, June 17, amid the production of the seventh and final season of his hit FX series.

"It's obviously going to be a really emotional time for us. We are like a family and have become very, very close and become dear friends to each other so it's going to be sad and finish up and say goodbye to everyone, but we've got like 13, maybe even a few more, episodes."
