So we all know the books, regardless of if you've read them or not, I saw in a Cosmo recently this article.
Who do you think should be playing Christian Grey?
1. Chris Hemsworth
Rumor has it that Chris is the front-runner for this role. He is so hot, we'd pay to watch him read the phone book.
2. Ian Somerhalder
Our 2011 Fun Fearless Male honoree recently said on Twitter that he's not "desperate" to be the man who snags the role. Yeah, but we are.
3. Alexander Skarsgard
The sizzling True Blood star came in a very close second—and he's said he was "born to play that part." No argument here.
5. Matt Bomer
A-Skars just barely beat out hottie Matt for the runner-up slot. We think a shirtless mud-wrestling tourney between the two is in order.
5. Ryan Gosling
We're kinda obsessed with Ryan, so yeah, we'd be all over those sex scenes.
6. Chace Crawford
Now that Gossip Girl is wrapping up, we NEED our Chace fix. Yes, please!
7. Colin Egglesfield
We think it's time Colin loses his nice guy persona and gets freaky on-camera. Apparently you agree.
8. Chris Pine
This sexy Star Trek star has said he wants to see a script. OMG, OMG, OMG.
9. William Levy
We didn't know who William was before Dancing With the Stars. But now we'll never forget him.
so i haven't read the books but from talking to friends they say Matt Boomer is the guy for the role; However I think this may be a good opportunity to bring in a new comer and launch them into stardom much like Rob Paterson (Twilight) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). Having an already established actor gives you preconceived notions about how they're going to play the part from their previous rolls.
i will probably never read the books, i'm not a big reader, and i think I've jumped on the band wagon too late and I've heard too much about the books, but i will see the movie no matter who the actors.
