'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: William Levy as Christian Grey [PHOTOS]
Each day, a new name and face is mentioned as possible lead actor for the film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey." The latest celebrity to be included in the "Fifty Shades" fandom is none other than "Dancing with the Stars" William Levy. Does the Cuban "Brad Pitt" have what it takes to become Christian Grey?
The speculation for an official cast continues since the announcement of a film adaptation late last year. Universal Studios and Focus Features are aiming for a summer 2014 release but as of late no cast let alone auditions have been held. As for the author, E.L. James is quite busy teasing her fans about the cast on Twitter.
While rumour has it that Ian Somerhalder of "The Vampire Diaries" has already been cast as Grey, the assumption continues. The latest celebrity said to have the chops to be Christian Grey is "Dancing with the Stars" William Levy.
William Levy is considered to be the Cuban version of Brad Pitt. Surprisingly, Levy isn't that much of a household name. Given James did say she'd hire someone unknown for the role, Levy has a great chance at being cast as Christian Grey.
Of course, Levy has got some tough competition on various web polls for the role of Grey. Apart from the strongest contender that is Ian Somerhalder, a few fan favourites that Levy is up against include Matt Bomer of "White Collar", Henry Cavill of "Man of Steel" and Ryan Gosling of "Only God Forgives."
