Who Would E.L James Would Have Loved to Play as Christian Grey?
The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie will be released in February of 2015; A near Valentine's gift to all the ladies who are currently swooning over the character, Christian Grey.
The recasting for the role of the sexy, sadist, masochist character Christian Grey took place a few months after producers of the movie released an official statement that the leading roles were given to Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele and Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey-and what a frenzy this caused in the cyber world when fans raced to express their opinions on the casting.
May we remind most of the fans of the movie that have their own take on Christian Grey, he is a billionaire philanderer, sexy with dark hair and a chiseled body and face. Take Charlie Hunnam, who has all these features except the dark hair.
The point here is, many were disappointed with the choice of actors for the main roles. But what about the E.L James, the acclaimed author of the bestselling novel? She was fairly impressed by Charlie Hunnam and was supporting him all the way as Christian Grey. The author was pleased with the selection of characters and also took to her owner twitter to congratulate them.
As everyone knows, Hunnam quit the role as it proved too much on his work schedule and this devastated the author. Even though, Dorman was a likely choice as Christian Grey in the recasting of actors, E.L James had already seen Hunnam as fit for the role. Fans however, were slightly pleased with Jamie Dornan, given that he lives up to the description of Christian Grey.
On Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, fans still think that the producers could have done better with the casting of for the role of the petite, shy but beautiful Steele.
