Oh, Charlie Hunnam, that's the face we miss.

The hunky Hollywood star has taken a step away from the spotlight since his famous FX series Sons of Anarchy came to an end (teardrop), but fans were able to see that handsome mug of his after Guy Ritchie tweeted a pic of the actor working on set of his next project in the U.K.

We may have not seen Hunnam in a while, but he's been keeping busy getting ready to shoot Ritchie's Knights of the Round Table, where he plays the lead role of King Arthur. The director shared the first look of Charlie in his garb for the film from their first day of shooting, and while it makes fans giddy with excitement because it's Charlie Hunnam (!), he's unfortunately all covered up in a big furry coat. Bummer.

It's all good. The shirtless imagery from SOA still near and dear to our hearts.

Ritchie simply captioned the sneak peek pic, "First day on KORT."

According to the official synopsis of the movie, it "introduces a streetwise young Arthur who runs the back alleys of Londonium with his gang, unaware of the life he was born for until he grasps hold of the sword Excalibur—and with it, his future. Instantly challenged by the power of Excalibur, Arthur is forced to make some hard choices. Throwing in with the Resistance and a mysterious young woman named Guinevere, he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigern, who stole his crown and murdered his parents, and become King."

The cast also includes Eric Bana, Jude Law, and Djimon Hounsou.
