E.L. James has again made fans wonder if casting is closer than ever. After asking fans whom do they think should play Christian Grey, she then went on to say what qualities that actor and actress should have for Christian and Ana Steele.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when asked about what one quality the male actor should have to play the 27-year-old sexy billionaire, James said, " I think emotional intelligence, a sense of humor--those kinds of things. I feel like we haven't got that far yet in the process. We're still at the script stage so we're a long way off."
About 22-year-old innocent Ana, James said, "I think compassion is what she brings to the books. Her compassion. She's strong, compassionate. Those are the things I like about her."
Hopefully one of the fan-favorites will have these qualities to play the coveted role.
On Wednesday, the "Fifty Shades" trilogy author tweeted a question to her followers, "So... who do you want to play Christian Grey in the movie?"
Fans instantly responded with their picks, mostly those actors whose names are already attached to the highly coveted role.
"@E_L_James :Only one man has the perfect look, voice, demeanor, and sexy level to play Christian...MATT BOMER! #Gorgeous #Perfection," one fan wrote. Another fan said, "@E_L_James We are convinced that William Levy@willylevy29 is the best choice to play Christian Grey!!" one more wrote, "@E_L_James I like Matt Bomer or Ian Somerhalder but I trust you and team50 will make the right choice."
"Superman" actor Henry Cavill was also mentioned but we know these four are not the only fan-favorites to play Christian.
It seems that from fans' reactions to the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" role that Christian should be an A-list actor, one that everybody knows about, not an unknown. What does the question mean to fans though? Will fans' opinions weight on the casting of Christian Grey, or is James just hyping up the situation? No one will ever know.
Some fan-favorites for Ana Steele are "Gilmore Girls" Alexis Bledel, "The Vampire Diaries" Nina Dobrev, "Twilight Saga" Ashley Greene, "Game of Thrones" Emilia Clarke, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" Alexandra Daddario, and "Pretty Little Liars" Lucy Hale.
