The plot of “50 Shades of Grey” revolves around a young and naïve college student named Anastasia Steele who is seduced by a hot, rich and powerful billionaire businessman named Christian Grey. Grey persuades Steele to sign a contract that allows him complete control over her life, in and out of the bedroom. And let's just say their relationship is rather steamy! The books have received a lot of criticism calling the erotic novels 'mommy porn' with the overall reception being very mixed; people seem to either love it or hate it. I am now half way through the second book 'Fifty Shades Darker' and I am definitely a little addicted. I do admit that it has caused me to blush (fifty shades of pink!) occasionally when reading the book in public and I may have actually missed my tube stop one morning because I was so...well... caught up (hehe) in reading the book! Fifty Shades of Grey is definitely my guilty pleasure at the moment ;)
Following the huge success of the books you can imagine that this caused a fierce bidding war between leading film studios to secure the movie rights to the trilogy. Universal and Focus Features won the battle and this has now left many fans of the sexy books wondering who will be bringing the sexiness of the main characters to life on the silver screen! Rumours are all over the internet about who will or should play the smoldering leading man, Mr Christian Grey.
My inner goddess just couldn't resist getting in on the action looking for gorgeous men who I think should play the sexiest, richest, hottest guy on the planet ;)
Let's have a look at my candidates shall we?
♥ Ryan Gosling. I think it is fair to say that I love me some Ryan Gosling any day! Ryan oozes sexyness, cheekiness and has got the smoldering eyes thing pat down. Just think a mix of his characters from Crazy, Stupid Love & Drive to channel Mr Grey plus we all know this guy can rock a suit!
♥ Alexander Skarsgard. If you've ever watched True Blood (or have a pair of eyes for that matter) then enough said. But yes he is tall, athletic and totally has the dominating, intense thing down! I can see him being sensitive yet protective. I can see him being dominating and loving. I think character wise Alexander would be a pretty perfect fit for the role.
♥ Ian Somerhalder. Known for his leading role in the Vampire Diaries. Apparently Ian has expressed interest in being cast in the 50 Shades movie. I think he could pull of the sexy and sweet act and let's admit that mischievous grin is quite the asset as well.
♥ Armie Hammer. At first glance Armie might look a little vanilla. BUT if you’ve read the book Christian Grey decides he’s into vanilla…soooo…he would fit the nice guy/bad guy mold pretty well.
♥...and last but not least my final pick would be Matt Bomer. Matt is not (YET) that well known as an actor but after seeing photos online of him as suggestions for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie I am completely SOLD on him playing the sexy Mr Grey! Gorgeous eyes, hair you can run your fingers through, and a body that would make any girl weak in the knees...yup, Matt Bomer has got it all looks-wise. I can go on for days just talking about this man's good looks but I'll let the pictures on this page do all that for you. To me Matt looks the ultimate Christian and think he could pull off the dominating but sweet and sexy billionaire CEO personality very well. So he gets my top vote!
All together now....PHWOAR!!!
So there you have it. My 5 suggestions for Christian Grey!
Have you read the books - if so who would YOU choose to play Christian?
Happy Hump Day everyone! Instead of providing you with my weekly (deep and meaningful) quotes on hump day I thought today I'd just provide you all with some eye candy! Just as satisfying don't you agree? ;)
Laters baby!

I just finished reading the trilogy and I, too, blushed fifty shades of pink way too many times!
I think the characterisation is what pulls people in. The storyline is quite choppy at times but the whole intensity of Christian Grey is so captivating and unpredictable.
My pick is Ryan Gosling - there's mischief behind those eyes, I tell ya! AHAH.
ooooo luv this post!
i cant decide which one here mmmmmm...
I'm already reading it on my kindle but only on chapter 2 at the moment though.
I must finish before the movie is out since books are always better~~

Haha I agree Ryan Gosling.......or Bradley Cooper!!! Xx
Looking at the pics again and again, I went for Matt Bomer in the end.
I have to comment again and tell you that I google searched who he was and it turns out he is gay.. :(
@ Jenni haha yes I know he's gay. Such a shame but still think he has the perfect look and hes an actor so am sure he could still play a convincingly Mr Grey ;)
I'm half way thru the first book... LOVE IT! I totally agree with your picks, personally I'd love to see Alexander Skarsgard with the part, with his acting skill he'd totally nail the part. *drool* But since Christian is 27, Matt or Ian totally look the part.
Laters, baby! lol ;)
I hate to admit that I loved this series. Total guilty pleasure. I always imagined Ian Somerhalder as Christian, but maybe that's because I've seen him play the moody role before. All of your choices are great!
your post made me curious so I've ordered it on amazon immediately.
It will be delivered on Monday, I can't wait to start reading it!
:)
Ps: Ryan Gosling is SO freaking hot.So I'd choose him :)
:):)
:D:D:D
It has to be Ryan Gosling the perfect man <3 Laceyloves
I could totally see Alexander Skarsgard as Christian. I'm halfway through book 2 on my kindle at the moment - its my guilty pleasure :-)
I vote for Alexander Skarsgard or Matt Bomer. Recently got the 3 books for a beach vacation. The sea breeze and the semi naked bodies on the sand make the books 100 shades of blush I tell ya! And while reading on the tram, I secretly prayed that no one else recognize the title! Hahaha
