E L James Talks to Ryan Seacrest About Fifty Shades of Grey Casting Rumors

AUDIO

(GettyImages.com)

E L James appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on Friday, and the “Fifty Shades of Grey” author cleared up some rumors about the casting of the highly anticipated movie version of her erotic smash hit.

As Gossip Cop reported, early rumors that Ryan Gosling was the top choice to play Christian Grey were premature and wrong, and James made it very clear once again that the actor is not attached to the film.

RELATED – Justin Bieber Offered Role in “Fifty Shades of Grey”?

The Gosling speculation has been “completely misreported,” James stressed to Seacrest.

Seacrest then played for James clips of him asking a number of actors — Jake GyllenhaalIan Somerhalder, Chris Pine, and Steve Carell — about playing Grey in the movie.

How did James react to each name?

    I don’t think any actor with established name in movie industry who considers himself/herself and their career seriously would even consider taking part in this Twilight rip-off for desperate housewives, no matter how much it may make in th ebox office. It would have been professional suicide.

  • ma_mad_mom

    “Twilight rip-off”? So I take it you did not read the books then? Oh wait, I remember the part where Edward chained Bella the ceiling & spanked her with a riding crop.

  • Regina1180

    This book was originally written as Twilight fanfiction, called Master of the Universe. Every single character from this series was based on characters created by Stephenie Meyer.

    So yes, it’s a Twilight rip-off.

  • lexoxo2

    MATT BOMER FOR CHRISTIAN GREY!

  • ma_mad_mom

    I am well aware of where it came from, but using the same names in MOTU does not make it a rip-off. The stories & themselves are nothing alike, so could hardly be classed as a “rip-off”

  • Regina1180

    All of these characters’ backstories are based on Meyers characters. There would probably be no MOtU or FSoG if it weren’t for Twilight.

  • guest

    If that is true, then Rob & Kristen should play the roles.

  • Britney

    Oh c’mon the character traits are practically the same…Anastasia IS Bella. Both books are set in Washington. They’re both clumsy, awkward,and they both don’t think they’re attractive or worthy. They both happen to have brown hair, and have two guy friends into them…Really…? If that’s not a rip-off then I don’t know what is…

  • Rosie

    I guess you didn’t read Fifty Shades of Grey because if you did you would know it’s not only about kinky sex. It’s a beautiful love story between two special people.

  • Rosie

    I’d love to see Henry Cavill play the part of Christian Grey. Why isn’t he on the list of actors being considered for the part? I never see his name mentioned. It would be a sin to omit him. He’s great and a perfect Christian….handsome, sexy and he fits the part to a tee.

  • hmh2985

    I think Cam Gigandet would be a good choice to play Christian

  • http://www.facebook.com/tammy.douris Tammy Douris Goins

    Ian Solmerhalder is perfect for this role.

  • 6Raven6

    I honestly believe that Robert Pattinson would be the only actor to perfect the role of Christian Grey. Yes, Christian was based off of him already, so of course he’ll fit. Fifty Shades is not in any way a Twilight rip-off. But Fifty Shades is SO far more different than Twilight. The characters are only in comparison if that, but it has been ruled out that they are two completely different genre’s and stories altogether. I have read the entire Twilight Saga and Fifty Shades of Grey series. Fifty Shades is not a Twilight rip-off.

  • ruth

    matt bomer should NOT PLAY christian grey, because he is GAY…sry all but a gay man to play CG is just wrong…. wrong wrong., wrong

  • ruth

    and people that know the books BECAUSE They are Twilight fan fiction..You OBVIOULSY HAVE not read the books…so shut the hell up….the books STARTED as fan fiction, but she changed…SOOO many things…Its’ a great book…and if you have to bitch about it, then shut the hell up.

  • 6Raven6

    As much as Matt Bomer’s appearance would fit the role, he wouldn’t fit it. I agree. He has that rich and very independent look to him, too.

  • ruth

    every actor in Hollly wood is foaming at the mouth to play this part…you don’t have a clue

  • ma_mad_mom

    Rosie I was being sarcastic, & was talking about Edward & bella in Twilight, not MOTU. I agree with you about FSOG

  • RUTH

    AMEN…YOU SAID IT BEAUTIFULLY

  • RUTH

    nooooooooooooo…HE’S GAY

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Gianna-Hidalgo/100000360549503 Gianna Hidalgo

    Ian Somerhalder is the perfect Christian Grey.

  • Joe mama

    THIS LADY IS AN IDIOT IF SHE DOESN’T CAST RYAN GOSLING. HE WOULD MAKE THE MOVIE. HE IS SO SEXY AND SUCH A GOOD ACTOR.

  • Your tarded

    OH BARF. THE ONLY THING ROB AND KRISTEN SHOULD PLAY IS WITH MY BALL SACK. (Fart noise)

    I’m sooo glad that Ryan Gosling is not playing Christian. He is just not goodlooking enough. @Sigourney, I don’t remember reading about any vampires & wolves in the book. Maybe I need to read it again because apparently I missed it. I also missed the part where there was a love triangle.

  • Ur more tarded then the last

    MORE LIKE RYAN GOSLINGS BONER SHOULD BE CHRISTIAN GREY. PFFTT

  • @Annmarie1980_JP

    JESSIE PAVELKA only man for the job!!!!

  • Mtnoche@aol.com

    Bwahahaha! Too funny?

  • rainlvr

    the perfect Christian Grey is Tyler Hoechlin http://tinyurl.com/9ljb7cm

  • betty1979

    agreed… 100% gay, so NOT CG!!!

  • betty1979

    gorgeous! I saw him at IMDB, but Henri Cavill is so much more…

  • betty1979

    not tall enough…

  • betty1979

    a thousand times NO…

  • Ian is Grey

    I am totally orgasmic right now after hearing her say she’s a big Vampire diaries fan. hahahahaha so happy!!! She is totally Team Ian!! omg so happy!!!! I love you E.L. James . I mean I suspected but she pretty much confirmed she’s sooo Team Ian. Get on board Bomers and Pavelkas how can you disagree with the author?

  • kinky Ana

    oh shut up. I love Twilight but it’s a rip off of Vampire Diaries which was written YEARS before Twilight. And Roseanne is a rip off of The Flintstones and Gabriel’s inferno is a rip off of 50 shades… blah blah blah So what each is also different in their own way and you were probably the same one who said no credible producer would want to be part of 50 shades and then they got 2 oscar winning producers….LOL just shut up please.

  • kinky Ana

    But the story itself and EVERYTHING that happens in it is totally different from Twilight

  • tt

    YUCK!! Rob didn’t even belong in Twilight he is not HOT enough

  • tt

    NO WAY… they have their name w/ twilight and vampires… lets NOT go with them!!

  • ItsFunnyBecauseItsTrue

    50 Shades of Grey fans are the scratch and dent bin of the human race.

  • Alicia

    Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey, Please! No one else comes close to the smoldering sensuality needed. He looks like a walking Christian Grey. And he’s got the acting chops needed to pull it off. Some of the other guys are good looking but, they just look like guys you could see out anywhere, vanilla looking. Ian is a stunning looking, stops women dead in their tracks type of man. Just what CG is.

  • Carrie

    A rip-off would be a carbon copy of the story. Similar traits between characters is hardly what I’d call a rip-off. The story may have started as Twilight fan fic, but it evolved into something COMPLETELY different.

  • Marie

    so let me get this straight, because she likes one of the actors show, the rest of us should as well, as for team Ian, it was in very poor taste of her to go gushing about with it, Souinds a bit underhanded, I do hope the Producers have a level head between the two of them and cast someone who can actually act, the role deserves that at least.

  • Marie

    No, but she will want to cast a subpar actor instead, sad.

  • Marie

    No he is not, but he is evidently the authors pet, this is wrong the way it is being handled, I will be surprised if the other actors are not feeling just a bit slapped around, my hope is with the producers.

  • Marie

    I would still like to believe that Mr. Gosling, Skarsgard and Hemsworth have a chance at this, but if the fans of that show have control over who gets cast, then it will not be worth the film it is shot on to see, will be nothing more than an extended episode of the Vampire Diaries do bondage, I was looking forward to an adult story, but as I have predicted in the past, if certain people are cast it will turn into just another teen farce. Will just have to wait and see and hope not.

  • Rebecca

    Eww. Gosling, Skarsgard or Hemsworth are not Christian Grey in the looks department. Not even close.

  • Debra

    The only person in poor taste is you. Hi Marie! Don’t you ever get tired going around putting down other actors and now the author… You really ought to try and change up yor name or try a different posting style because your irrational hate comments are so overplayed and laughable. yawn

  • Marie

    But to others, they are :)

  • Marie

    Hi Debra, don’t you get tired of trying to tell others what to do or who to like, as for irrational hate, that would be coming from you and others who believe all should worship certain actors and when they don’t get all snippy and uppity ;) as for the Author she is acting questionable, laugh all you want, it obviously makes you feel better about yourself :) I don’t think he is right for the part as an actor, I am not attacking any one, pull your sanctimonious head out. Cheers

  • Marie

    Of course they are, and they are tall enough :)

  • Debra

    I don’t believe anyone should worship anyone. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and have every right to say so. It’s fine to state an opinion and say you may like a certain actor over another etc and then move on. What is not cool is what you do. Your hate posts, insulting and putting down other actors and posting untruths. That’s uncalled for. That’s what you’re being called out on. Just because the author is a fan of someone or something you apparently are not, doesn’t make her ”questionable.” You go on the attack when you don’t agree or you hear things you don’t want to hear.

  • PAW

    Ryan, please ask ALEXANDER SKARSGARD if he is interested. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!

  • rivi

    His sexual orientation is not the reason he shouldn’t get the role. His look is far too mature, not boyish at all and certainly not intense & intimidating like CG’s. The book does not describe him at all.

  • noMB

    If it came down to Mr G or Mr B I’d want Mr G, without hesistate. Mr Razzle dazzle suits musicals and PG movies, he’d be so out of his depth.

  • Rai

    We want Matt Bomer!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • una

    There you go again, putting your spin on things. What did James say
    about Ian exactly? Nothing! She only admitted to being a “big fan” of
    his show, confirming what most suspected. Btw, her revelation hardly
    supports your ‘his fans are only teenagers’ theory. I wasn’t going to post but alas…

  • http://twitter.com/sdawnsutton Stephanie Dawn

    Ms. James is also a HUGE Twilight fan – she has called herself a Twihard. So, does that mean Rob Pattinson will play Christian? No. So, I don’t believe that her being a Vampire Diaries fan means that Ian is guaranteed the role of Christian. Ms. James does have a say in casting the role, but she has acknowledged that the producers, director, and studio also have input. Ms. James has said that she has 3 men in mind for this part – only she knows who they are. Is Ian one of them? Possibly, but not absolutely. I like Ian, but I can’t see him as Christian – just my opinion. To me, Henry Cavill would be the perfect Christian. Many believe some of the storyline of FSoG was based on his Dunhill cologne commercials – go to YouTube and watch them – you will be amazed. I don’t know who will eventually get the coveted part – but I don’t think we can count anyone in or out at this point.

  • nothanks

    No we don’t!!! (well most of us anyway)

  • Marie

    I am replying in kind, as for the Author, her actions or influence on the final call, would be questioned if certain people were to be cast, please, if she had been gushing all over any other show that had one or several of the actors in it, all the followers of this person would be having a melt down, and calling certain behavior just a bit bias, as well, just calling it for what it is. I’m done with this. If he is cast, I and many more will know exactly why, and sadly it will have had nothing to do with casting the best actor for the role, but in appeasing the fanbase who made the most noise.

  • gamble

    Get real. There is no way a personal trainer with vertually no credible acting experience is going to get the part.

  • tinman

    Henry fans are forever droning on and on about the Dunhill commercial. Talk about clutching at straws. He’s handsome but his acting leaves a lot to be desired.

  • http://twitter.com/sdawnsutton Stephanie Dawn

    Don’t worry, Rosie – Henry IS on the list of actors being considered for this part! He has a huge following in support of him playing Christian. He would be absolutely PERFECT!!! Many think he inspired some of the storyline for FSoG – if you’ve never watched his Dunhill cologne commercials, go to YouTube. They are like trailers for FSoG!!! Henry IS Christian Grey!!! He DEFINITELY has a chance of playing this role.

  • http://twitter.com/sdawnsutton Stephanie Dawn

    You’re entitled to your opinion. Henry has a huge movie coming out next year – Man of Steel. He is the new Superman. There must be others who think like I do, or he wouldn’t have been cast in such a blockbuster role.

  • http://www.twitter.com/88Daph_ 88Daph_

    And now you’re describing like a million other books.. Maybe the state it’s set it might differ. But the whole traits and 2 guys thing happens in sooooooo many books..

  • Marie

    Now who is naive, the majority of the shows fan base are teens and young adults, it is what it is geared too. As for not mentioning Ian lolol yeah okay, he is one of the actors who just happens to be on the show, she is gushing about, yeah right nothing dodgy there ;) as for not posting, I know you cannot help yourself, god forbid someone not go along with the accepted dogma that this guy is THE ONE for the role must run with the rest gathering pitchforks and torches ;). lololol

  • Yvette

    That’s one of the reasons I hope Henry Cavill isn’t cast in Fifty Shades. He’s already going to be tied to a movie franchise. Let’s give someone else a chance. Let’s not go with the safe, boring Hollywood formula for this film.

  • una

    I have said this to you before, and I’m not one to give advice, but you need to stop twisting what you read/hear and appreciate what is actually said. I cannot, and should not have to, make things any clearer for you. I’m not one to post online, pre CG almost never, but I have never ever come across someone like you. It’s not even funny. I (along with others I note) see your template comments everywhere, the majority of which I choose to ignore. Niether the time or inclination to respond.

  • Yvette

    Henry Cavill met with one of the producers back in July. If he’s cast it would appear he was the chosen one all along. If you think they don’t already have several favorites lined up among them to audition you are naieve. Just like we have preferences for who we’d like in the role, you know they do despite the it’s too early to think about casting speil.

  • tinman

    Notably a “blockbuster role” that has been attributed to stifling more than one actor’s career. I’ve seen the stills, the trailer (if you can call it that). I hope for H’s sake it works out, but I somehow doubt it.

  • una

    I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Her ‘refute’ was hella feeble and does not add up, if her hubby was quoted verbatim that is. I happen to think, even more so now, that he’s one of the top 3. The media appear to be behind him for some reason.

  • Kim

    Oh man. Prepare for a bitch fight under your comment. Some of the fans are psychotic.

  • http://twitter.com/sdawnsutton Stephanie Dawn

    Again, you are entitled to your opinion. You’re obviously not a Henry fan. That’s okay – there are plenty of us out here who are. :-)

  • drusilla

    you mean whoever can pull it off—-because the character of christian grey will be very challenging.i love twilight,and am sure i will love this movie if they have a perfect christian grey. for now i will still go for ian.my first choice would have been mr pattinson.but he was written out of it.

  • drusilla

    @rosie—i totally agree with you .i have read the three books.is a book for adults,unlike twilight,it is for mature minds.it is not just about fuckery.a lot there to learn about facing ones own demon.

  • gail

    Funny Anna, Fifty Shades started out on the internet as Twilight fan fiction and grew from there. Mrs. James took Bella and Edward in the direction a lot of fans wish it had gone but couldn’t because it was books for young adults. If you do not see all and I do mean a LOT of similarities through the books then YOU didn’t really read Twilight. When it comes to calling people out and being a bully in print, you really should know what you are talking about beforehand/

  • jazzy

    Robert Pattinson should get the part, he was the inspiration for the character. Here is Exhibit A, Christian Grey in the flesh http://bit.ly/Sr2zb4

  • guest

    I agree, when Rob becomes serious, he’s kind of scary cold and sexy.

  • Tufenuf55

    Rob is Christian Grey. Kristen is Anastasia. Can’t think of a replacement for Kristen, but my second choice is Wes Bentley. He was in American Beauty and currently in Hunger Games. Check out his Flaunt photo shoot to see him in a suit and also shirtless. He’s got it!

  • http://www.facebook.com/tracey.anstey Tracey Anstey

    um think ur find jessie pavelka was her muse 4 part of cg not r patz twilight film maybe inspiration but not Rpatz. it was jessie who is the only mr grey

  • kinky Ana

    I KNOW it’s Twilight fanfic but they are 2 entirely different stories!! Everything that happens is different. If we didn’t already know the characters are based on them you wouldn’t even know. Of course there are similarities but they’re not IDENTICAL. I’m not bullying. Sorry if a few shouty capitals scares you……too sensitive.

  • me

    Yeah the movie studio thinks so. It’s not like they went around and asked for fan input. I would’ve said no to him and no to anyone. Christopher Reeve is the best Superman. And it been tried too many times anyway. I don’t think it will be that successful. And even more reason why he shouldn’t be CG if he’s playing freaking Superman.

  • Karen**BTB to the end**

    If anyone doesn’t believe Rob Pattinson could play Christian Grey, just watch Cosmopolis. He is amazing in that film! He has definately moved on from playing a sparkly Vampire!

  • Ian is Grey

    Poor taste? She wrote the books she should be able to say whatever she wants about the books or the movie or the possible actors! I’m just saying she obviously likes him if you still don’t believe that you need to do the research. It’s out there for all to see and has been for months! I was joking anyway (halfways) about everyone getting on board Team Ian obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion but if she sees CG in him and likes him it would make me take a harder better look at him that’s for sure.

  • me

    She wrote the books! If it wasn’t for her there would be no movie. You think she doesn’t have a vision of CG just like the rest of us do? If anyone is entitled to say who they envision as CG or have an idea of what actors she would like it should be her. Why do you not understand this? Oh never mind it’s obvious you don’t want Ian. If your actor of choice was clearly one of her favorites you’d have no problem.

  • me

    Look she clearly was a vampire diaries fan even back in Dec/Jan before the movie rights were sold and before fans of ANY base were making any noise! So don’t even try to say she’s going with the fans who are making the most noise as if that’s the reason she mentioned it!

  • Ana

    Both Ryan and Matt would be out of their depth and Ryan isn’t drop dead gorgeous enough to even be Christian Grey.

  • fanboi

    RPattz for the win, please. Everyone was thinking of him when this was just master of the universe and he was Edward. It was so popular and passed around so much, that it went on to the book form.

  • nate

    I’d like Pattinson and Watson for the two main characters.

  • strychnine

    yeah, that’s why his name was Edward in MOTU. wrrrooong.

  • me

    Although I hope he doesn’t,that’s not exactly what she said. She never said he won’t be playing Christian. No one knows yet. Only that her husband never said he was her first choice.

  • Ian is Grey

    I have watched them and I am not lying when I say I was not amazed. Of course it’s not guaranteed that Ian will get the part but nice to know he might at least have a shot.

  • tinman

    I don’t consider myself a “fan” of any contender. Believe it or not I really like Henry but cannot deny that his acting can leave me cold. He’s great in small screen productions (the Tudors).

  • http://twitter.com/sdawnsutton Stephanie Dawn

    I have to say, I have posted on quite a few boards regarding the role of Christian, and this is probably one of the most negative places I have come across. Everyone has their opinions, and we’re all entitled to give them, but this board has so many people saying such critical things about CG contenders! In my original post on this board, I said that I couldn’t see Ian S. as Christian, but I didn’t put Ian down in any way – and there are criticisms I could list. I love a good debate, but really…in the end, it’s a part in a movie. I would love to see Henry Cavill in the role, but I do realize my life will go on if he doesn’t play this part. Everyone has their favorites – in the end, only one person will get this part. And, everyone’s lives will go on!!!

  • BettyD

    I agree with you. His sexual preferences have nothing to do whether he can act the part or not. I personally believe he isn’t fit for the role though because I can’t imagine him as Angry CG, Very Angry CG, control-freak CG, playful CG, nor Dom CG. In a fan made trailer there’s a scene where he is “angry” and throws something but it looked incredibly fake.

  • BettyD

    The fact that he was in the Twilight films is reason enough for him to not be cast in 50 Shades. If people are arguing already that the books are similar then why would you want RPats as CG? People will be constantly comparing him to Edward. For me, he is not what I imagined when I read the book.

  • BettyD

    And his interview with Ryan Seacrest proves he’s fit for the role. Look it up on Youtube under “Ian Somerhalder wants in on 50 Shades”. His gestures, expressions, smile, gaze, etc are just so CG!

  • BettyD

    I would love to see Ian Somerhalder as CG. Check out his interview with Ryan Seacrest on Youtube under “Ian Somerhalder wants in on 50 shades”. His expressions, gestures, gaze, smile will melt you away you’ll know he is the perfect candidate for CG! As for the role of Ana, I would like to see Brittany Snow be Ana with Ian. She has acted out in various movies but she isn’t connected to any certain character and therefore can act out the role juts fine and people won’t compare her to any other characters she’s done. I believe she can act innocent, naive, stubborn, etc. and I think she can pull off being Ana. Her work in “John Tucker Must Die” and all of her crying on “Prom Night” was good. Unlike other actresses people have mentioned, Snow is good for the role. Alexis Bledel, Emma Watson, and Lucy Hale don’t suit the role because they look extremely innocent and weak-looking and I don’t believe they can do everything Ana does. AND also, I feel like people will be constantly comparing them to their most famous characters. Check out Fifty Shades of Grey casting by a Youtube user named stefnuss. This user also chose Brittany as Ana. It’s just great! Except the actors she chose for Mia and Ethan. I would have chosen Ashley Greene, Lucy Hale, or even Ashley Benson as Mia, and Bryan Greenberg as Ethan. But everyone else I think is good for the roles.

  • BettyD

    He’s too old-looking to play a 27 year old. He looks past 35.

  • BettyD

    I agree that nothing’s guaranteed. Henry Cavill is good-looking and he can be a potential CG I’m not going to lie. But I just personally find Ian Somerhalder as a better fit for Chrisitian. On Youtube, search his interview with Ryan Seacrest under “Ian Somerhalder wants in on 50 Shades”. His expressions, gestures, smile and gaze totally prove he’s the perfect candidate for CG.

    And I also believe Brittany Snow would be a perfect Ana and her and Ian would look great together.

  • babes

    Just type in ‘christian grey’ and it comes up tops. :)

  • BettyD

    In Hollywood I’m sure they can do some movie magic and make him seem taller just like they can make people’s eyes a different color, etc.

  • BettyD

    I agree! Have you seen his interview with Ryan Seacrest? Check it out on Youtube under “Ian Somerhalder wants in on 50 Shades”. His expressions, gestures, smile and gaze are so CG! I had no idea who he was but I’m not kidding he is exactly what I imagined CG to be.

  • BettyD

    Gosling is good looking and all, but I can’t picture him being Angry CG, Very Angry CG, control-freak CG, nor Dom CG. As for Skarsgaard and Hemsworth, they look too old to pretend to be 27.

  • BettyD

    Jaja that’s right! Didn’t even know that. See there we go lol =]

    Perfect Christian. When he raises his eyebrows, his smile, his side smile, and when he bites his lip! Yup, the perfect CG.

  • Marie

    Hemsworth is only 29, younger than the Ian, and looks it as well and better built for the role, as are many others, as for Mr. Gosling, he can act,

  • Marie

    I have looked, not buying any of it with him in the lead, never will. The actor besides lacking in the height department is sorely lacking in every other area as well, but then again that is my opinion. There are better actors for this role out there, question is, will any of them even be looked at now after her not so subtle performance.

  • tinman

    I never lose sight of the fact that this should not be taken serioulsy. I’ve made valid/fair points about his acting without getting too personal. I’ve seen far less sensitve comments on other boards. People can get as low down as they want, it’s the outright lies that irks me.

  • BettyD

    He is? I don’t know though, he doesn’t look to be 29. He doesn’t convince me to be Christian. Yes he can act angry, I don’t know about him acting as a CEO or playful Christian, Dom Christian, or even In Pain Christian, As for Gosling’s acting, NEVER did I say he couldn’t act. I’m sure he can act, it’s his job. But can we believe it? That’s why I’m not too convinced with him portraying Christian either.

  • BettyD

    No, “Edward” was the inspiration. And he’s already attached to Twilight, so to continue with his career he needs roles that don’t attach him to another series or whatever.

  • musial

    Not interested in Ian S. His kissing pics with Nina are like ick and I hate him in his ubiquitous wife beater shirts and little hat. Plus he’s really short and kind of old. But I do like Nina as Anastasia. I say Robert Pattinson as Christian with Nina or Emma as Anastasia.

  • flightops

    Wow, his eyelashes in that gif to the left are just “thud”. Love his blushing too.

  • Guest

    But he does not have charisma or an interesting personality for all the promotion required for the promotion of movie. He is boring.

  • Guest

    I agree 100%. Rob can definitely play all sides of the Christian Grey character. Would love to see him in that role but not with Kristen Stewart as Ana.

  • Sierra

    Nina has already said when asked that she wasn’t interested in the role of Ana. Ian is old? I never knew early 30′s was old. Or that being just 2 inches under 6 ft. was too short. LOL
    I love people who judge actors on what they see in their personal life and think that’s how they would play a role or that they would use clothes from their own closet. etc. This whole Fifty Shades thing has brought out the most inane comments of I’ve ever seen.

  • Leslie

    No. Ms James has said and it, and it is well known that she is a huge Twilight fan and that the original muse for CG was the character of Edward. I know people who were in her original fan fic group where it all started. Why would a fitness trainer be her muse?

  • Marie

    Hmm been reading he is 5’9 that would be more than two inches ;)

  • Marie

    I hope Ian does not get the role, I hope this is all a ruse, having a hard time thinking that she would accidently indicate anyone at this point, and like it has been pointed out, she was being fed these names, it sounded kind of scripted, getting the fans all in a tizzy, well it worded ;)

    Rob won the sexiest male four years in row from Glamour UK. Great pic, he looks just like Christian Grey, IMO. http://bit.ly/PlcGty

    I get your sarcasm but what about Mrs. Robinson? Or the guy from college with the art show? Ring any bells? If you think Twilight was JUST a series about vampires and werewolves then you did miss the entire concept. Of course you were helped along by Summit playing up the part of Jacob to make it much more than it was.

    That has got to be the most ignorant thing i have heard!! Because he’s gay? really? Have you not seen his acting? He’s a sexy intriguing actor regardless of his sexuality!!!

    Watch a few episodes of White Collar. It’ll change your mind. Trust me!

    Yes I agree I think he has the eyes, the look he screams Christian Grey.
