Casting for the lead role of Christian Grey continues to spark rumors and create news headlines.

Fans of the popular book series do not know who will play Christian Grey; there are plenty of rumors throughout Hollywood as to who will play the mysterious Grey.

In the book Fifty Shades of Grey, Christian Grey is a 27 year old self-made billionaire. He is attractive, slim and has issues with power. Christian Grey loves to be in control. The book begins with Anastasia Steele, a young college student who is forced to interview Grey for the school newspaper. She does this in order to help her roommate, Kate, because she fell ill on the day of the interview.

When Steele goes to interview Grey she is greeted by a beautiful young woman. Anastasia feels intimidated in this sort of atmosphere; she is so frightened she ends up tripping and falling. She does get the interview with Grey and after this, both characters become infatuated with one another.

Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer are both in their mid- 30's however they can easily pass for men in their 20's. Somerhalder is a fan favorite for the role of Christian Grey. He has intense eyes, dark hair and a slim physique. He also looks amazing in a suit which will be the attire he would be seen wearing as Grey.
