Matt Bomer Fifty Shades of Grey Rumors Sparked by Fake Entertainment Weekly

Truth rating: 0

11:19 am, July 26th, 2012

(Twitter)

A fake Entertainment Weekly cover is leading many people to believe Matt Bomer has been picked to play Christian Grey in the upcoming movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The image making the rounds online shows the actor accompanied by the line: “Fifty Shades of Grey: The wait is over. Matt Bomer talks about changing the white collar for a grey tie.”

Bomer, of course, stars on the television series “White Collar.”

But he has NOT been cast as Christian Grey.

The cover is 100% fake, and the film’s co-producer, Dana Brunetti, has again flatly stated that no casting decisions have been made.

“All of the rumors on #FiftyShades are just that – rumors,” tweets Brunetti. “No one has been cast in any role. We have to get a writer and director first.

Earlier this week, outlets falsely claimed Emma Watson was “in talks” for the lead role of Anastasia Steele.

When there’s actual casting news, Gossip Cop will have it.

    I would not mind if he was cast as CG! He’s beautiful!

  • Bhall4321

    have never read the book, and really have no interest in it. But cast him, I am there!

  • Silvervixen8668

    NO, not him. Please, anyone but him, and we know why.

    He would be a good pick though! CAN’T WAIT!

  • Dann Vintage

    Oh man.. i seriously didn’t intend to make a hoax or ploy someone took it from my facebook and now is everywhere..

  • Anonymous

    i didn’t know him till i saw one of my friends in facebook wrote something about him. i googled him and omg he would be the perfect Christian Grey!

  • Regina1180

    I don’t know why.

  • Athena

    Michael Fassbender or Richard Armitage. They’re my Fifty.

  • Natalie Norman

    just started reading 50 and pictured Ryan Gosling as my CTG from the onset.

  • Mjmcclain

    I fell for this the first time I saw it. I think they’ll do a very good job at keeping it under wraps and when they do release the cast names it will be sort of like a presidential press conference.

    Never saw worse writing in my life. Fifty shades of crap. The annoying narrative, the contradictions, the use of the same words or phrases over and over. The author wouldn’t know what a DOM was if she met one. And how she tied up the ending nice and pretty was a joke. I know a lot of women who read romance novels love flawed men, but they also seem to like the stupid women they find to manipulate and abuse. The only thing I’m miffed about is that I can’t write something as BAD as that to make millions. That hack is laughing all the way to the bank., but I have to give her props for that.

  • Lauren

    He would make a gorgeous CG….
    Does anyone know if EL James has written the books in CG prospective???
    Thx… :)

  • guestuser10000

    hes gay

  • Lscorean

    because “silvervixen” apparently has an issue with matt bomer being gay. grow up and realize he is an actor! not a gay actor, a talented actor who if he is chosen ot chooses to portray christian grey, will do a phenomenal job.

  • HarryStyles

    this Fifty shades of crap rumor is so annoying …Who cares about this, when the gossip on the moment is Kristen Stewart Cheats on Rob Pattinson.

  • Regina1180

    I knew what they were hinting at, just wanted them to admit it.

    MB would make a perfect Christian. He’s actually who I pictured throughout the books.

  • luvprue1

    Alex Pettyfer would be great for the role,and I would love it if he was to be cast. However he might be consider too young. Than I hope they cast Ian Somerhalder

  • Emm

    mmmmm is all i can say deffo my CG x

  • Thebam1332

    ummmm, they need Ryan Gosling! to play Christian Grey! he is perfect for the part!

  • http://twitter.com/CharitoromaRoma ChariRoma

    it is not that we have a problem with him being gay. You don’t UNDERSTAND!!..like Lscorean, i feel the same way. Matt is beautiful and a great actor but not to play christian. WE, million of women fantasize with christian all the time, the way he is with women, the thing he does to them and how much HE LOVES being wth a woman.. trust me, the last thing i want is to go to a movie theater and see Bomer playing christian. I wouldn’t be able to fantasize!hahahha! nothing personal, its just,…. christian is a very special character that can only be played by someone that is a real man that loves women.

    understood?

  • http://twitter.com/CharitoromaRoma ChariRoma

    i hear you. I would love to see Henry Cavill and/or Paul Walker!! Two beautiful men!

  • Lscorean

    here is what i do understand…you can openly admit it or not, but the fact is you do have a problem with him being gay. you don’t want him to play a part because he is a homosexual. it’s narrow minded and discriminating. when you go to a movie it is the character that a person falls in love with. not the actor or his true life. i have no issue with anyone who prefers another actor to play this role. what i have a problem with is discriminating against this particular actor just becase he is gay. if you don’t like his acting abilities or the idea that he isn’t who you imagine as christian then that’s a valid argument, but to say he can’t play a part because he loves a man, or better yet claim that he isn’t a “real man” is ignorant. it is time to move beyond the labels and see people equally.

  • LisaK66

    Scott Elrod is perfect to play Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check him out if you havent yet!!!!!!!!!! Perfect

  • Ianne

    I just can’t see Matt Bomer who has openly admitted to being gay plays the part of Christian Grey… no matter how good of an actor you are. It’s hard to imagine and be captivated by a Christian Grey who can never fall in love with Anastasia because they are on the same team! I think Ian Somerhalder is the perfect Christian Grey!!!

  • anne

    This is not a teen movie. So please, not Ian Somerhalder. The guy can’t act.

  • Sdf
  • Laine

    Gay or not… I’m already imagining him as CG as I read the book. So I say… MAKE HIM CEO & Control Freak of Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc, PLEASE!!!!!

  • greygasm

    Alex Pettyfer would be a good Ellior or Ethan.

  • Edelbowes0

    he is CG in my mind so what if he is gay big wop he fits the part nicely make him MR GRAY ”yes sir”

  • Lyndanissen

    I’m sorry but, ryan gosling is not HOT ENough to play Christian Grey. Paul Walker, Zac Efron, or Matt Bomer. Now they are hot enough.!!!

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/R433V3OUSMIJNOL27XTBB2CA24 Dorothy

    Wish it was true also! Def my pick for 50 shades! Gorgeous and has those perfect expressions! I can’t think of anyone better than Matt. He is perfect!! Just give it up and pick him!!

  • M

    Richard Armitage would be amazing as CG!

  • B.

  • http://www.facebook.com/april.willis.98 April Willis

  • Tina
