Carrying a big name in Hollywood will always require shielding one's self from scandal and all sorts of controversies. However, there are those people who become synonymous with the word "controversial", just like Bret Easton Eliis, saying that casting Matt Bomer for the "50 Shades of Grey" movie adaptation is "ludicrous".

The screenwriter/novelist best known for "American Psycho" and "The Rules of Attraction", used Twitter as a medium for venting out his frustration on the fact that Matt Bomer is about to be cast as Christian Grey for the movie adaptation.

"I don't care how good an actor you are but being married to another man complicates things for playing CG...Matt Bomer is NOT about discrimination. It's about an intensely straight actor wanting absolutely to screw Ana Steele...the most popular book on the planet having Matt Bomer--a gay actor--play Christian Grey is absolutely ludicrous. Why?" reported E! Online as tweeted by Ellis.

The 48-year old novelist is known for writing controversial novels-turned-movies such as "Less Than Zero" in 1987 which stars an extremely young Robert Downey, Jr., "American Psycho" starring Christian Bale, and the latest being "The Rules of Attraction" in 2002.

Ellis did continue on about his "ranting", which others also call homophobia.

"I don't care how good an actor you are but being married to another man complicates things for playing CG...Matt Bomer is NOT about discrimination. It's about an intensely straight actor wanting absolutely to screw Ana Steele...the most popular book on the planet having Matt Bomer--a gay actor--play Christian Grey is absolutely ludicrous. Why?" mentioned E! Online regarding Ellis' tweets.

Matt Bomer is a 34-year old actor best known for his character as the con man Neal Caffrey in "White Collar". He solidified his appeal to to the women market by playing a supporting role in "Magic Mike" alongside Channing Tatum.

Ellis continued on by defending himself through the social media website. His tweets are not only controversial on their own accord but very much shows his bitterness after learning that he will not be writing the screenplay for the movie adaptation of the book trilogy.
