'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Alexandra Daddario as Anastasia Steele [PHOTOS]
"Percy Jackson & the Sea of Monsters'" star, Alexandra Daddario has recently been eyed by "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans to portray Anastasia Steele. With Alexandra's big blue eyes and brunette hair, the actress is the perfect star to play the role. Yet, how has Daddario reacted to the news?
Given Universal Studios and Focus Features are busy searching for a suitable director, fans of E.L. James' best-selling erotica novel continue to speculate on casting choices for the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steel. So far, a hundred celebrities have been named as potential stars for the film.
The latest name to be added to the mix is none other than "Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief's" Alexandra Daddario. The blue-eyed and dark-haired beauty has the physical attributes of Ana pat down making her the perfect candidate. Despite starring in a few films, Alexandra is not that big of a name in Hollywood. From what E.L. James had stated in the past, the author would most likely pick an unknown actress for the lead role and Alexandra could just be it.
Judging from Daddario's recent film, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake of 2013, where she flaunted her sexy bad girl side, going risqué for films won't be much of a problem. With the entire buzz on Daddario playing Anastasia Steele, it's not surprising that Alexandra has reacted to possibly starring in the film. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Alexandra addresses the rumours of her starring in the film.
"I've heard [the rumors]. I don't believe they've started casting. I haven't heard anything about it. But I'm honored that people are throwing my name out for it... I'm honored that people would think of me for any big role that is talked about a lot. But, yes, I should read the books. I've heard that they are rather risqué..." stated Daddario.
Would Daddario be the perfect Steele? With big names contending on the list such as Alexis Bledel and Emilia Clarke, does Alexandra stand the chance for the role? Fans of the brunette may only hope so. Check out the slideshow to see more of this star.
