Ian Somerhalder

All it took was one interview with Ryan Seacrest, and Ian Somerhalder made himself a front-runner to play Christian Grey. Legions of Vampire Diaries fans agree that he's perfect for the part: his fans love his versatility, and Christian is the kind of guy whose mood changes at the drop of a hat. Many fans are also throwing their support behind Somerhalder because he can pull off sexy and sweet. That mischievous grin is quite the asset as well.

JUSTIN CHATWIN. He's who I picture when I read 50 Shades. If you've seen the show Shameless(US) you know what I'm talking about I'm sure! Also paired with Emmy Rossum as Anna.

I'm speaking for all the ladies out there , if you want to have an addiction to a character you need to start liking Alexander Skarsgard for the role as Christian Grey because he has the ability to look so sexy without even trying he gripps you right away. It's not based off just looks, if he was good looking yes that a bonus but the actor needs to know how to do his job or no magic will be seen or felt. Alexander Skarsgard is the perfect fit for this role. Trust Me, just watch the third episode of True Blood season 1 and you will find your guy

Jonathon Rhys Meyers would be perfect for the part!! How well he played his part in the Tudors, check out his pictures on his facebook page. I'll definitely watch the film if he plays Christian Grey :0)

From when I opened that book and read the description of Christian Grey, I had envisioned BEN BARNES. He's got that sexy, sultry look and can change his mood "at the drop of a hat." Also, he's going to be able to nail that "hooded" look. I had pictured Ana to be JENNIFER LAWRENCE, she looks great with brunette hair in the Hunger Games and she can definitely play Ana's witty and innocent character.

Check out the other pix on this page 4 the pic of him shortless is tight jeans: It's the playroom jeans!!! <3 xxx

Or possibly Ian Harding who is Ezra Fitz in Pretty Little Liars, just his hair is a little dark and his eyes are more Green than Blue!!! :-( Shame Johnny Depp is too old but he can do younger and he is such a versatile actor!!! K.Stew and R.Patz should let someone else have a chance! But seriously DERK THELER is perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the actor isn't right then the whole movie will be wrong! That goes for actresses to! Ana is my heroine! x

Laura-GaGa2870644 46 weeks 4 days

Derek Theler is just a must 4 Christian Grey!!! Just google him, seriously, theres a pic of him with Grey sweatpants on hanging from his hips, so reminds me of Ana lusting after Christian!!! Think Ana needs 2 be someone fresh and innocent but naturally beautiful Emma Roberts (Wild Child) would be fab!!! x

Alex Pettyfer for Christian Grey is the only person I imagine when I read the book. Just look at this picture: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1641117/

I've read this book and really thought about who this should be first I think Christian should be played as either Channing Tatum or Justin Timberlake. They are both have a very strong sex appeal to themselves. Then for the girl I'd choose Mila Kuins. She has a innocent to look to her and she is very young. She has that corky attitude and just would be perfect. She still has that virgin look to her. I don't want to see a women that's cast that we all know for sure is one just not for the part like Kirsten Stewart don't want to see her. Then a male that is one not tall and just not for the part like Robert Pattison. Don't get me wrong I love twilight I really do but this isn't a twilight book this is 50 shades of grey. You are going to have the twihard fans mad and the people who hate twilight not come to the movie. I really hope that this movie comes out even a little bit close to the book. I don't want anything blinked out or a scene taken out because it isn't appropriate. The movie just won't be the same without every detail involved.

My all time favourite actor that I would LOVE to have this role would be Johnny Depp, but unfortunately a little older for this role. #1, James Scott, #2 Eric Martsolf, #3 Channing Tatum, or Captain America or Thor Actors. HOT HOT HOT HOT. For girls, I think #1 Rachel McAdams!!!! She would be absolutely PERFECT for this role!!!

Ian Somerhalder and then maybe Kristen Stewart. Ian has that smoldering good looks and would be jiust as I imagined Christian to look like. He would have to change his hair color though. Kristen is just so niave she would be a good match with Ana

Zac Efron or Ian Somerhalder for Christian , i would totally want to see either of these hot men play the role. They both have that beautiful look and smiles that will melt your heart, and mysterious way about them.
