Charlie Hunnam is Christian Grey No More

Written by Regan Brown

It appears that the book-to-film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey has a hit a road bump.  It has been revealed that actor, Charlie Hunnam, will NOT be portraying the dark, tortured billionaire that is Christian Grey after all.  Apparently this is due to scheduling conflicts of Hunnam’s hit show, Sons of Anarchy.  Universal Pictures and Focus Features released a joint statement commenting on the news.

Ryan Gosling Turns Down Role in Fifty Shades of Grey

If we haven't stressed enough in the past how much we love Ryan Gosling, let us state it again here. Recently we reported that Charlie Hunnam would be playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie that's slated to come out next year. Did you know though that Gosling was their first choice? The book's author, E.L. James, and Universal Studios both felt that Gosling would play the role of the 27-year-old billionaire who indulges in S&M perfectly. Thankfully, Gosling turned down the part. This is exactly why he's our favorite actor. Gosling always chooses roles that will challenge him and push his career further. He doesn't just run to whatever roles have lots of hype and a big paycheck attached to them. Do you think this was a smart move on Gosling's part? Sound off below.

Written by Regan Brown

It may have started out as Twilight fan fiction, but E. L. James’ “Fifty Shades of Grey”, the first book from the 50 Shades-trilogy, is hitting the big screen.  However, I don’t understand why.  Did I read the books?  Guilty as charged.  Did I think the writing was phenomenal?  Not in the slightest.

Nonetheless, the hunt was on to cast the two main characters that will bring this erotic-filled novel to life.  And now, the hunt is officially over.  Actor Charlie Hunnam, best known for his starring role in the television series,Sons of Anarchy, will play the dark, mysterious, and tormented billionaire, Christian Grey.  Actress Dakota Johnson, who’s had some small roles here and there, is set to play innocent, intelligent literature student, Anastasia Steele.
