Fifty Shades of Grey‘s lead, Christian Grey, was finally cast for the film adaption of the crappiest of books. I think it’s hilarious that Hollywood is so invested in making what is essentially a big budget softcore pornographic film. So to middle-aged moms everywhere, MEET YOUR CHRISTIAN GREY! (Oh and by the way, the female lead has also been cast. Her name is Dakota Johnson, and Melanie Griffith is her mom and her dad is Don Johnson. Those are her best credentials. I’m sure it was super hard for her to get the part.)
His name is Charlie Hunnam and he’s a British dude currently best known for starring on the TV show, Sons of Anarchy. E Online gave us this announcement and also some trivia about the chap. Like,
He’s a romantic: After meeting his ex-wife Katherine Towne at an audition for Dawson’s Creek in 1999, the couple married just a few weeks later. The couple later split in 2002. He has since moved on to jewelry designer Morgana McNelis, who he’s been dating for six years.
Yeah, he’s a romantic. He’s not foolhardy or stupid for marrying someone he just met, he’s definitely a romantic.
The film’s director is Sam Taylor-Johnson, professional creeper.
What do you think of this casting choice?
they are both way too blonde
That’s not a problem at all. Just a little amount of hair dye and they’re no longer blond.
Why anyone would want to be connected to this career-killing project is beyond me. It will make everyone in it a laughing stock.
ah yes! He’s the one from Pacific Rim! He also looks a lot like the guy from Vikings.
I read the book and am disappointed by the actor they choose for Christian Grey. This actor is not good looking enough. The book describes a character than is extremely handsome. And I thought he’d have dark hair. Not to bash this actor but he doesn’t look the type. This is not at all what I imagined.
I agree, this guy is not nearly good looking enough. In the book, he is described many times as being beautiful. Women lose the ability to speak, turn red in the face and even walk into walls when they see him. And of course, he has grey eyes and copper colored curly hair. Very poor choice, IMHO!
What’s MORE terrifying is that he looks like Spencer Tw@ AKA Psycho demon eyes.
Ewwww *chills*
