A lot of Hollywood stars are buzzed to play the lead role of Christian Grey. Matt Bomer is currently in the lead however he along with Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill are about to get into some serious competition for the role of Christian Grey in the highly anticipated film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Well, with the attention still on E.L. James BDSM-themed novel, it's no wonder people can't stop talking about the book and the films being produced by Universal Studios. The production studio is yet to find actors for the film given a director still isn't seated. For now, all fans can do is round up suitable actors.

Currently in the lead to play Christian Grey is "White Collar" star, Matt Bomer. Following at second place for the role of the 27-year old entrepreneur is "Man of Steel" star, Henry Cavill. Ian Somerhalder of "The Vampire Diaries" continues to be a fan favourite and is presently at the third spot. While Ian, Henry and Matt are big contenders for the role, these Hollywood men are about to get into a tough competition for the role with the latest addition.

"Sexiest Man Alive" of 2011, Ryan Gosling is once again favoured for the role of Christian Grey. Despite the poor results of fan polls earlier in the year 2012, Gosling appears to be in the running for the elusive role of Christian Grey once again. In fact, Gosling has already been cast as Grey in some fan-made videos posted on YouTube.

The "Gangster Squad" star had been paired with Mila Kunis while some YouTube videos had paired Gosling off with Emma Stone. Gosling had been eyed as Christian Grey back in September 3, 2012 when James' husband, Neil Leonard had stated Ryan to be cast as Grey. However, the casting rumours have been dubbed false.

"No, that's completely misreported. What happened is that his local paper... reported on my husband being the inspiration for Christian Grey. Underneath it they put a picture of Ryan Gosling, as well. So that's how it came about," explained author E.L. James.

Unlike Ian Somerhalder who has read the books, Gosling is by far uneducated on the "Fifty Shades" franchise which would make him a poor choice for the film adaptation.

"I don't ... what is this book that everyone is talking about? It seems very popular," stated Gosling.

All fans can do now is sit back, relax and see who among Hollywood's hottest does nab the role for Christian Grey. Check out the slideshow and see if Ryan Gosling does fit the role of the 27-year old dominant entrepreneur.
