While Hollywood and all the world is buzzing about who will be cast in the movie version of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” a British professor has come up with a composite sketch of the protagonist, Christian Grey.
Using various features from male celebrities based on a poll of readers descriptions, Dr. Faye Skelton created a composite photo of the fictional Grey with e-fit, a software used by British police.
Skelton used hair from Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum, eyes from Patrick Dempsey and Johnny Depp, Chris Hemsworth‘s nose, Val Kilmer‘s lips, the jawlines of David Beckham and Brad Pitt, and fashioned them together on Beckham’s face shape.
“While we don’t want to intrude on anyone’s fantasies, based on a small sample of women, this is the image of Christian Grey they have in their heads when reading the novels,” says Dr. Skelton. “Personally, I think he’s quite handsome, although everyone’s interpretation will be different. It was just a bit of fun, but it does show the quality of image we can now generate.”
Fifty Shades of Grey, the first book in author EL James’ trilogy, is the fastest-selling novel of all time, already selling ten million copies world-wide.
