'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Channing Tatum as Christian Grey [PHOTOS & VIDEO]
Once again, fans of "Fifty Shades of Grey" have found themselves a likely candidate to play the role of Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation. "Magic Mike's" Channing Tatum has been eyed for the S&M role and a video of him starring as Grey has already been making waves on the web. Check out the video plus all the latest on Tatum here.
Like Matt Bomer in the film "Magic Mike", Channing Tatum has undeniably the same amount of sexiness that fans of E.L. James best-selling erotica novel are dying to see him play Christian Grey.
"Tatum has been thrust into the spotlight for his performance in Magic Mike as an exotic male dancer, which some pundits are saying will make him the ideal actor to play in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, which is full of steamy sex scenes," reports PolicyMic.
Tatum has already starred as Grey in a fan-made video for "Fifty Shades of Grey" which may be viewed below. The video dates back to August 21, 2012 which has over 3000 plus views. Some of the shots have been taken from the film "Dear John" where Tatum's co-star, Amanda Seyfried stars as Anastasia Steele.
With all the hype on the film, Tatum had previously been interviewed with regards to the role of Grey. So, what did the "Magic Mike" star have to say about the role of Grey?
"Yes," stated Tatum. However, for Tatum to play Grey there was a catch. Tatum's wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum would have to play Anastasia Steele.
"I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana. She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana!" explained Tatum.
Obviously, Tatum is one very loyal husband to which Amanda Seyfried of "Dear John" is very much aware of.
"Everybody wants to have sex with him!" said Seyfried in an interview with InStyle, adding, "And the only person he wants to have sex with is his wife, Jenna [Dewan-Tatum]. He's the most loyal husband."
Well, if fans desperately want Tatum for the role then they should cast his wife as Anastasia Steele opposite him. Check out the slideshow to see more of Channing Tatum.
