Who Should Play the Lead in Fifty Shades of Grey?

   By SheSpeaksTeam  Oct 22, 2013

The role of a lifetime? or career poison? Who knows what lies ahead for the actor who lands the movie role of the kinky billionaire in the screen adaptation of E.L. James' bestselling trilogy which has sold 70 million copies worldwide.

Universal Pictures announced that Charlie Hunnam, the actor who had originally been set to play the lead, was dropping out of the adult romance and would not be taking on the role. 

So now that the search is back on, what actor do you think would make the ideal Christian Grey?

  • Wes Bentley?
  • Ian Somerhalder?
  • Garrett Hedlund?
  • Leonardo DiCaprio?
  • Matt Bomer?
  • Luke Bracey?
  • Christian Cooke?
  • Billy Magnussen?
  • Alexander Skarsgard?
  • Francois Arnaud?
  • Scott Eastwood?
  • Colin Egglesfield?
  • Henry Cavill?
  • Joseph Morgan?
  • Eric Winter?
  • Jamie Dornan?

or someone else?  Please comment below!

I think Jeffery Donovan, Channing Tatum, or Chris Hemsworth would all be good for the roll. I can't wait for the movie.

I would be happy with just about any of these options, but I think Ian Somerhalder or Matt Bomer would be the best ones!

No one should play Christian Grey. The author E.L. James went to great lengths to keep Christian's character mysterious-that is the major part of his allure. He can be whoever you want him to be, and no one will fit his role perfectly. This project would have been better as an HBO or Showtime mini series. Having said that, there is no chance Leoarnd DiCaprio would risk his career for this role. It has to be someone relatively unknown-or the viewer will be thinking "that's not Christian Grey, it's_______." I wish whoever takes on this role luck. I think Mr. Hunnam made the right decision

Alexander Skarsgard out of those choices. I am not into what I call little men like decaprio, timberlake, seacrest who are short, size small and exude no sex appeal at all. This role requires the person to exude sexy without saying a word. They need to be tall, manly and a little older. John Hamm would be perfect!

Ian or Henry. But then it might very well be career suicide so...
