Wait! Isn't Christian supposed to be older (I'm falling behind on my mommie porn reading list)? Shouldn't he be played by maybe David Duchovny or Jon Hamm or Liam Neeson? Pattison, Gosling and their ilk are too young!

Thanks, Michelle, for setting me straight. I think I was just indulging my own fantasies!

Chris Pine would be perfect to play Christain Grey!

Peter Facinelli would be perfect even has the grey eyes!

got to be matt bomer for christian look at them eyes and how he looks in a suit yummie

I say Alexander Skarsgard would be perfect!

I think Camilla Bell and Ryan Gosling would be great as the leads

Either complete unknowns or someone less well known. Skaarsgaard -too old. Gosling-too baby faced. (I don't think he's that attractive). Somerhalder - maybe. Peter Facinelli - maybe, he's older than the character but looks way younger than alot of people being suggested.

With Bret Easton Ellis offering to write the screenplay maybe he could ask pal James Deen, porn star, who was just cast with Lindsey Lohan in his new movie "The Canyons". JD has no issues with nudity or with BDSM. He's experienced in it! And the right age. And he actually can act. His roles in various parodies are great.

Well I did hear that Ian & Alexander were like top in the list to play Grey..honestly, I cant think of any other actor who would do justice to Grey other than these 2...maybe,Collin can...and Steele should be played by someone really young and pretty..!

I think Henry Cavill would be the best man to play Christain Gray. He has just the right look and he's not a bad actor.

Okay, Matt Barr needs to play Christian Grey! He's the perfect age, he has captivating eyes, and he's smoking hot without a shirt on! Plus, he's a good actor :)

Ian Somerhalder was born to play this role. He is the perfect man.

none of these actors/actresses should play the leads. unknown all the way. their all too old

i liked to see Cam Gigandet play Christian Grey and Amanda Seyfried as Anastasia

Google Scott Elrod.. He is PERFECT.

I see Christian as a young man with a slight aged look. (due to his experiences) He's tall, built & has sultry eyes. I think actor Chris Hemsworth would be perfect! He has the body, height, looks & is perfect!

Ok...the only person who should play Christian is Matt Bomer!!! The hair, the jawline, the eyes (make them gray) are perfect. Ana should be Ashley Greene. She's simple but can be made absolutely beautiful!!

Ed Westwick! He just needs to buff up the bod for a bit... He is AMAZING playing Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl. CG is the extreme Chuck Bass. He would be perfect for the role!

Matt Bomer for Christian, and Lucy Hale for Ana !! Perfect!

It should be Ian Sommerholder and Jennifer Lawrence

Henry Cavill IZS ZChristian Grey! Have you seen his Dunhill Black ads on you tube? They SCREAM Fifty! He has the looks,the body,the eyes& that boyish smile. He was in Tudors & can an has played seductive,playful,domineering,pained & the man looks like a greek god as described. He can be classy businesslike & looks great in a suit. He has done it all. He is sexy yet you would not think he has a dominating side which is how Christian starts off. I Love Ian but like Rob & Kristen he is so well known as Damon & his evil look already would say dominating & controlling. Henry is also closer to the age at 28. As for Ana, I think Alexandra Daddario from Percy Jackson is perfect. She has the long brown hair,blue eyes to big for her face & alabaster skin along with lips for biting. She fits every description of Ana. At 26 she looks innocent yet beautiful without makeup yet can transorm into a sexy woman as well as becoming a mother. She also has the maturity of a 26 yr old to do the explicit scenes. They would look great together! Matt Bomer is gay & I don't think it would be convincing to women who have a fantasy of the so manly & dominating Christian to be played by him. At least not for me anyway. He plays a straight guy well on White Collar but just don't this role suits him. But he is a beautiful man.

MATT BOMER AND ALEXANDRA DADDARIO!

Alexis Bledel and Matt Bomer would be perfect. Emma Stone for Kate and Ryan Gosling for Elliott. A dream cast!

Perhaps it's time to find some 'newbies' to play the leads as unknowns will add to the 'mystery' and as a 'dedicated ' film watcher I feel we need a replacement 'duo' to fill the gap when Twilight finishes in cinema's this year. But please Kristin Stewart look-a-likes a no no !

Christian Grey (Ian Somerhalder)- He has the right mysteriousness and wit about him that would make him perfect plus he is used to playing these types of roles.

Anastasia Steele (Emilia Clarke)- She has an innocence about her plus she can be very tough when it's appropriate. I think she looks like Anastasia.

Prior to the Ian Somerhalder hype for Christian Grey. He's a good actor..but he's no Grey. He has the charisma to play the dark side of Christian but overall look, he is no christian. His way too weird snarky sneer and crass look doesn't even give a good aura of a sophisticated young executive. You hollywood people should really look into other actors, like Matt Bomer. Just watch an epi of White Collar, you'll know what i mean.

So Matt Bomer for Christian Grey.

Chris Hemsworth for Christian Grey
&&
Ashley Greene for Anastasia Steele

ZAC EFFRON would be perfect for christian.

Ian Somerhalder and Kristen stewart would be the perfect person to play christian grey!!!

I mean Ian Somerhalder would be perfect for christian grey and krsiten stewart is for anastsia

Peter Facinelli all the way.

Matt Bomer IS Christian. Ashley Greene IS Anastasia, "nough said"

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has got it all. As for Anastasia I haven't figured her out yet.

Ian Sommerhalder!!!

Peter Facinelli is gorgeous but too old.. Chrisitan is only 27.

Chris Hemsworth would be the PERFECT Christian Grey!!! Ther is something so sexy and mysterious about Chris Hemsworth. Love love love Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth for Christian grey and Jessica stroupe as Anastasia steele

ian ian and ian .....all are blind , why taking so long time to choose him...he is a greatest perfect for christian grey role

The whole time I was reading the books I pictured James Scott (from Days of Our Lives) as Christian. He would be perfect!

Rooting on MATT BOMER....I pictured him when I read the books...Exactly how it was described, the eyes, jaws and all

Henry cavill for Christian Grey is my pick I think he'd be perfect!!!

I think Matt Bomer would be perfect for the role, he has it all.
A perfect materialization of what the book has described, there are quite a few others that would be somewhat comparable, but Matt Bomer is PERFECT!
and why would anyone suggest kristen stewart lol.

Eric Dane is the perfect Christian Grey and Ashley Greene is the perfect Ana

Alexander skarsgard hands down! He is the perfect guy for this role!
I don't really know about who should play Ana but definitely not Kristin Stewart, way to awkward.
Alexander is great shirtless and comfortable with showing his body. His personality as an actor and person fit perfectly. I couldn't think of anyone perfect enough. Ian is way to young looking.

Matt Bomer is the perfect guy for this role.. He's the exact description of Christian Grey in the book.... :)

I second kate vb...MATT BOMER a.k.a Christian T.Grey and ALEXIS BLEDEL a.k.a Anastasia Steele, they were made for these roles period.

Ian somerhalder is perfect for the role of christian ans lucy hale for the role of Anastasia.

Jensen ackles is perfect for this role you cant cast a gay man for this role it will ruin to many womens fantisies

Who cares about movies prior to!! That's how they get out of typecast, when someone describes a person in such detail as she did Christian Grey aka Edward, then cast Rob Pattinson, he has every single detail he wouldn't have to dye his hair or wear contacts and he has the long lean body and the fingers omg! It's him wether they cast him or not!!!

MATT BOMER HE IS PERFECT! Matt bomer has the look, the chiseled jaw, the smile, the eyes, the tousled thick hair, and the body Matt bomer is perfect as Christian grey

how bout chris hemsworth? i also think adam levine would be perfect for this role. even though he is. ot an actor look at his videos and u will agree he has that sexy take charge personality which would. e perfect for this role! yummmmmmm!!!!!

matt bomer i dont get it. he is supposed to have a vibe kinda bad boyish. matt bomer is not handsome enough and seems too goody goody for this role. anastasia steele would be perfect for the brunette from pretty little liars but christian has to send off a crazy sexy bad boyvibe

It has to be matt bomer I thought of him when I read the books he is christian grey and lucy hale as anastasia that is a hot pairing they r perfect for the roles

Has anyone else taken note of the irony? A novel "notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring elements of sexual practices involving bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, sadism/masochism" is OK, while Pennsylvania State University is pummeled for the perverted behavior of one man and those who covered it up.

Paul Walker has my vote:)

Megan fox and paul walker

Mat bomer matt bomer matt bomer no question he is bloody beautiful and so perfect cc I just can't picture anyone else and either alexia bledel or Lucy hale as AMA

I meant James Scott from days of our lives he played as ej damura he just needs gray contacts and Emily browning

Colin Egglesfield would make a great Christian grey

From the descriptions in the book I think Emma Watson and Ryan Gosling are the closes.

Ian Somerhalder FTW!!!!!! and Emma Watson!!!!! I love Ian Somerhalder!!!!!!

Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel!!!!!! They fit the parts perfectly!!

He's not an actor but I keep picturing Chris Martin (of Coldplay!) as Christian. Hasn't everybody else thought this too??? He seems/looks like him to the t. Hello out there! Shouldn't he be the one!

I know that if we all liked the same men it would be a boring and very challenging world but...come on, surely its clear that Henry Cavill should play Christian Grey, he's perfect. He's sexy, beautiful, has that boyish cheeky twinkle in his eyes and has a body to die for....he is most certainly my Christian Grey

Henry Cavill for Christian Grey & Ashley Greene for Anastasia Steele...the best good-looking duo!!!

what is wrong with everyone?, the clear choice is MATT BOMER, he is awesome and will be perfect as mr grey...... the role calls for someone young...

how can anyone not see both actors (Matt B & Alexis B) fit the physical description of the main leads to a T!!!!!!! ... specially the BLUE innocent yet smart eyes and the GREY piercing, full of intent CEO eyes!! Hmmm..... NO DOUBT abt it!!! 100% Alexis B & Matt B alll the wayyyyy!!!!!!

Ryan gosling and Ashley Greene(: Anybody but Emma Watson PLEASE lmao she's alright

Ian and Rachel McAdams!!!!

Matt bomer and lucy hale, if you think different then you are dreaming of your fantasy not what the book actually describes! If not them then has to be unknowns!

I think Chris Hemsworth & Liam Hemsworth would be perfect for Christian & Elliot. They look far enough apart to pull off being adopted & r both extremely gorgeous. They would be perfect.

Ian Somerhalder

Matt Bomer and Ashley Greene are meant to play the roles. Ashley is beautiful and Matt Bomer is GORGEOUS!!! Enough said

Matt Bomer, it doesn't matter if he's gay, he's superhot and perfect for the role!!!

CHRIS PRATT is the perfect Christian Grey... He's hot, copper haired, tall(supposed to be very tall), little hair on his chest & showed a rocking hard body for Zero Dark 30...He's had to put on weight for another role...but I know he would be perfect
