no dont go with ian, just knowing he really WANTS the role is kinda creepy to me. i would go with armie hammer, henry cavill, chace crawford, eric dane, kellan lutz... just dont pick tom cruz...please.

FIFTY SHADES CAST RYAN GOSLING as CHRISTIAN GREY Second Choice: IAN SOMERHALDER as Christian Grey MEGAN FOX as ANASTASIA STEELE ANGELINA JOLIE as MRS. ROBINSON SCARLETTE JOHANSSON or BLAKE LIVELY as KATHERINE KAVANAUGH

Chris Egglesfield would be perfect for Christian Grey! He's hot as hell and has a mysterious look in his grey eyes..... Ian is totally the wrong fit it would ruin the movie if they go with him.

I used to think Matt Bomer until i learned he was gay... That took at the Christian Gray right out of him for me :( ... I think Ian is super sexy!!

Ian Somerhalder, is perfect. It has to be someone to take on a 27 role going on 37. They eyes have to be perfect and the hair unruly to match (colour can be sorted).The writer plays a lot throughout the book on his eyes, so if you get the smoulder wrong. Could be disastrous......
