Charlie Hunnam has come in for some criticism after fans of Monster: The Ed Gein Story discovered what the real killer’s voice sounded like.
As you can probably guess, it’s quite different to Hunnam’s portrayal.
The British actor decided to put his own spin on it, so when the real thing was discovered, people noticed the different.
Ed Gein was a truly shocking murderer and criminal
Of course, the man’s voice is not the real story here - that’s the murderous life of Ed Gein.
He was the inspiration for Psycho and nicknamed the Butcher of Plainfield and the Plainfield Ghoul for his crimes.
He robbed graves, making trophies out of the bones and skin of those he dug up, and admitted to murdering two women in the 1950s.
Gein was ruled unfit to stand trial and spent the rest of his days in a mental health facility, although he was tried and convicted of one murder in 1968.
The murderer - full name Edward Theodore Gein - died in 1984.
Now, his story has been brought back to life on Netflix.
Charlie Hunnam’s take on Ed Gein has divided opinion
British actor Charlie Hunnam was the man tasked with portraying this particular monster in a new Netflix series, and he’s received some rave reviews for his performance, as well as saving his own praise for co-stars like Addison Rae.
However, some have accused him of taking too much license with the role, particularly now that a voice recording of Gein has resurfaced.
On YouTube channel Nightmare Files, there’s a recording of the real man speaking about his grave robbing in great detail.

However, some noticed that his voice isn’t the high-pitched softly spoken one that Hunnam brought to the character, but that of a normal man.
One commenter wrote: “So he had a completely normal voice? He didn't sound like Winnie the Pooh?”
Another said: “So why the hell have I been watching Mickey Mouse on Netflix for the past week?”
A third wrote: “Charlie's voice is way to high pitched and timid. Not sure who on Netflix approved the voice he uses.”
Not all of the reviews were bad, though.
One supporter wrote: “Charlie told a story and made it very memorable! He did an amazing job portraying him!”
“Still loved Charlie Hunnam's portrayal. He brought life to the character. If he doesn't win an Emmy next year, I'll be disappointed,” said another.
A third went as far as to say: “There’s certain things he says here that sound exactly like Charlie Hunnams portrayal.”
So, what do you think? Did Hunnam go to far, or was his creative license just far enough?
