Absolutely NOT! He may be good looking but he is not what the author described.

You forgot to show Henry Cavill as one of the contenders for the role of Christian Grey. He's been seen talking to the producers.

Noooooooooo way..his accent is way too strong...and I doubt he could pull it off...yes, its called acting...but he is too buff for Christian...who is more lean and not that big...and Ryan Gosling is not going to get it either....it will be a fresher face I think...but EVERY agent is trying to get this plum role for their actors! The casting will have to be perfect!!

YUCK! Seriously, this guy would make a horrible CG. There are better actors out there who actually look the part of a young handsome mogul. NOT THIS GUY!

***50 SHADES OF GREY DREAM CAST*** MATT BOMER MUST PLAY CHRISTIAN GREY!!! Ian looks too evil. Alexis Bledel should play Ana, Blake Lively as Kate, Jessie Pevelka as Ethan, Lucy Hale as Mia, Sharon Stone as Ms. Robinson, Jay Hernandez as Jose, Channing Tatum as Elliot. Yes Please!!!!!!!

Cam Gigandet would make a good CG, and he wouldn't even have to change his monogrammed towels! LOL

The accent kills it for me, and honestly, I think there are better candidates for the role...I really would love Matt Bomer...but Ryan Goseling seems to be making his way up the Grey ladder :) http://celebs.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281...

His accent doesn't suit Christian Grey... at all. Good looking guy tho!

Henry Cavill might get the role according to this - http://henry-cavill.info/index.php/henry-cavill-in-discus...
