'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Henry Cavill as Christian Grey & Ashley Benson as Anastasia Steele [PHOTOS]
Chace Crawford & Rachel McAdams made it to the news earlier this week all thanks to the "Fifty Shades" casting speculation. Now, the latest pairing to get the buzz on "Fifty Shades of Grey" is "Man of Steel's" Henry Cavill and "Pretty Little Liars" Ashley Benson.
Henry Cavill had sparked "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting hype with the latest trailer of "Man of Steel." With the chiselled body, mysterious persona and that all-too charming smile, Cavill perfectly portrays Christian Grey. Playing opposite Cavill as Anastasia Steele, Ashley Benson also opens up on the role.
The popular British actor has remained a favourite for the role of Christian Grey since the rumours of a film adaptation started last year. Cavill along with Ian Somerhalder of "The Vampire Diaries" and Matt Bomer of "White Collar" have been strong contenders for the BDSM-themed role.
However, with the latest trailer release of Cavill's upcoming film, "Man of Steel," the ball seems to be rolling in his favour. Fans of "Fifty" totally agree that Cavill is the perfect actor to portray the sexy 27-year old entrepreneur.
Earlier pairing had fallen to "Game of Thrones" Emilia Clarke. Now, fans favour "Pretty Little Liars'" Ashley Benson to be cast opposite Cavill as Anastasia Steele. With the piercing eyes and fresh face, Benson could just be Anastasia Steele.
Yet, Ashley might have changed her mind about the S&M role. Despite having been excited about the role back in 2012, Benson has taken back her word on potentially being cast as Anastasia Steele.
"Oh, man. I've been linked to that movie so many times... It's so funny. I don't know. It depends. It might be a bit of a stretch. I don't know if I could do all that... I loved the book. I mean amazing, great. I read all three books in a week, but the movie, I mean reading it and doing it is completely different," explained Benson.
Still, fans continue to root for this new pairing hoping Cavill and Benson play the roles on screen. Check out the slideshow to see more of this latest "Fifty Shades of Grey" pairing.
