“Dancing with the Stars” fans went wild for telenovela star William Levy and his shirtless moves last season. Now it looks like showing off his hot bod could land him the role of Christian Grey in the much anticipated “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie… if his followers have a say.

he"s the perfect christian :"William Levy"
I, still think all look good; but Robert Patterson, is Mr. Gray
and Kristen Steward, is ANA, I have read all three books and I DON'T CARE What ANY ONE SAY I loved the books
I vote for Ryan Gosling, at 32 he can definitely pull off the young CG and he has the look in his eyes required for the roll. HOWEVER, if they cast that pouty mouth, buck tooth girl, Kristen Stewart from the Twilight movies I will protest loudly. I think there are much better picks out there, Elizabeth Olsen being one of them. And Scarlett Johanssen would be better at playing the roll of the friend Katherine Kavanugh not Ana.
Those have actually read the books know that William is in no way right for this role. For starters, Christian Grey doesn't have a thick Cuban accent. Just becasue some are a fan of a certain person doesn't automatically make them right for this particular character.
I think Ian Somerhalder is the best fit for Mr. Grey. Good actor and he has the look and nuances that are so important to being Mr. Grey.
No William is not Christian.I have read the books 3 times and no he is too old in the face.The guy from vampire diaries I can picture him.Remember hes only 27
Henry Cavill all the way. He would be the absolute most perfect Christian Grey!! http://www.facebook.com/ChristianGreyFan?ref=stream
should defo have eric out of true blood he ticks all the boxes, height, build, hair and thoses sexy eyes and hes not afraid to do sex scenes... tick tick tick xx
The key to Christian Grey is finding the guy who pants sit on the hips and fit the way EL James describes. Check out the way Christopher Gorhams pants sit on him, uhmm.
Channing or William...best choices...tough call for shades of grey. Both would be awesome!!!!
Ian Somerhalder, for sure! For Ana, really don't care lol
Channing Tatum IS Christian Grey! Just f***ed hair and his mannerisms are so right on.His pants hang just "that way " and what woman wouldn't want him dominating her? So my vote is Channing Tatum. Besides, he is big, buff and bigger than the others!
...truthfully, I think Christian Grey should look like a young 27 year old Johnny Depp,an undiscovered actor, a new face, someone with sex appeal but doesn't know it, not so many muscles but solid like the rock he is in the book; as for Anastasia "Ana" she should be 21 and innocent looking, not a big star, a new somebody just discovered particularly for this role. This series was so entertaining and I really look forward to the movie because the love story is unforgettable! Thanks for your time;)
Definitely not. He looks nothing like Christian as describe in the books. He possibly has the necessary height, but not the intense eyes, square jawline or panty-busting smile!
I think William Levy would be great at playing Christian Grey.
William is very sensual while acting out his love scenes. They are out there if you want to check some scenes out (they are in Spanish of course).
He has the body, and his accent combined with the strong voice make him very sexy.
NO WAY FOR RYAN OR GOSLING DOESNT EVEN FIT THE CHARACTER, THEY NEED TWO NEW FACES LIKE TWLIGHT EDWARD AND BELLA NO ACTORS THAT ARE ON A TV SHOW,THEY NEED SOMEONE WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE THEM AND A MANLY MAN THATS WHAT WOMEN ARE GOING NUTS OVER NOT SOME GUY WHO IS IN HIS 30S THATS LOOKS LIKE A TEENAGER EVERY WOMEN IN AMERCIA WANT CHRISTIN AND WANT TO BE ANA SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAST THE RIGHT WAY I THINK SCOTT ELROD AS CHRISTIN AND EMILI CLARKE AS ANA.
