'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Jessie Pavelka Returning Favourite for Christian Grey Role [PHOTOS]
The search for Christian Grey still continues. With one favourite named to the next, it's hard to keep track of Hollywood celebs named for the lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey." However, there is one favourite still greatly wanted by the female fan base for the role of Christian and this would be none other than Jessie Pavelka.
"Diet Tribe" host, Jessie Pavelka has long been eyed by various "Fifty Shades" fans for the role of Christian Grey. With the perfectly sculpted abs, chiselled jaw and smouldering stare, it's obvious why Jessie is a strong candidate for the part.
The 30-year old trainer's name has been widely mentioned on the web as the most suitable star for the role. Given E.L. James and the production studio had wanted low-profile stars for the role then Jessie could just be the one for the film.
Jessie may be a fitness expert but he's had his share of the acting. Pavelka has appeared on the NBC series, "Friday Night Lights" and had even nabbed roles in "12 Men of Christmas" plus a short film, "The Charon Incident."
Unlike Matt Bomer, a strong candidate for the role of Christian, who had expressed disinterest in the role, Pavelka had been "flattered" by the hype and the fan base rooting for him for the part.
"I think it's great and I'm extremely flattered. It's amazing how social media has changed the game in T.V. and Film. If this would have happened a few years back, I don't think that my name would be in the mix at all. I am lucky to be involved in the beginning stages of it all," stated Pavelka.
So should E.L. James give Pavelka a shot at auditioning for the role of Christian Grey? Check out the slideshow to see more of this Texas native.
