HENRY CAVILL IS THE ONLY CHOICE.... Matt Bomer is hot but b/c he's gay (which doesn't bother me at all) I wouldn't be able to believe him as Christian Grey.

Matt Bomer

I voted Matt Bomer but my two top choices would be Ian Somerhalder(Vampire Diaries) and Gale Harold(QAF,Desperate Housewives,Secret Circle).

Matt Bomer

REALLY None of the above!! We need a fresh new face!!!! I would love to see to see Josh Henderson (Dallas) as Christian Grey!!! He is handsome and mysterious--perfect!!! Young enough for the part! If you read the book all the above are really too old for the part--they have aged in the face too much....Christian was only 27! At least Henderson is the right age (approx). Just like in "The Notebook" the fresh new faces make you fall in love with the Character! Matt Bomer is very good looking but would not be convincing as Christian Grey.

Matt Bomer FTW! I totally see him as Christian. I don't get the Ian Somerholder thing, but whatevs. I think he's not tall enough or "built" enough for Mr. Grey. Nice to see him NOT included on a poll -- b/c he's rocking all the Christan Grey fantasy casting lists I'm seeing: http://www.ranker.com/list/ch...

Google images of Matt Bomer he's got the hair and the eyes, but he might need to grow in his chest hair for this part lol. Emmy Rossum should be Ana

Christian Bale! Yes, he's 38 years old vs. Grey's 28 but actors play younger roles all the time! My (very-close) runner up is Matt Bomer and 3rd place is Zac Efron. I was appalled at the idea of Effron at first but then looked at more recent pics of him and I think he could pull it off. Talk about shedding his "good boy" image!! I refuse to see the movie if Robert Pattinson is Christian and Kristen Stewart is Ana. I'd lead a boycott!! LOL

I think a better choice would be The Vampire Diaries', Matt Davis. He plays Alaric, and proves he can be the guy you trust and love, that is also cunning and calculated.

ok I dont know who picked these actors but if you have read the books you will all understand what Christian Grey looks like, and it is not like these beastly guys!!! Matt Bomer is the only one worthy of playing this sex god!! The rest are just plain too ugly. AND it does not matter tha he is gay, he'll play the sex scenes that much better

Too bad he can't act (he's hot but very stiff and seems slow)

Ok, Matt Bomer is gay! I'm sorry but I need the actor to be straight to play Chirstian it keeps my image of him alive so much more real. I love Matt but not as Christian Grey, I would love to see Ian Somerhalder. He is so sexy and could be perfect as Grey

MATT BOMER as Christian Grey! He is the epitome of all that is Christian Grey! He is EXACTLY what the author describes in her books! Shelf these lame ideas about Twilight actors and others....He is the ONLY choice!!!!!

He's not a very well known actor but when I read the book I envisioned Josh Henderson! He is perfect for this part. If you don't know who he is look him up I bet it'll change your mind ;)
