HC’s Top Five Contenders for Lead Actor in 50 Shades of Grey

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Miami (OH) chapter.
Breaking News! Our favorite hunk Charlie Hunnam will no longer be playing the infamous Christian Grey in the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie. So, who will replace Hunnam and take the role of this mysterious, kinky, and totally mesmerizing character? Her Campus Miami is weighing in on this very exciting topic!
 
#1 Ian Somerhalder
This smokin’ hot actor steams up the cameras as the bad boy Salvatore brother in the Vampire Diaries. Wonder if he has time for a movie between his recently single status and lust for blood? One thing’s for sure, he’s got the compulsion thing down.
 
 
 
 
#2 Matt Bomer
The star of White Collar is one of the fan’s favorite choices for the role of Christian Grey. This top runner is a guaranteed ladies pleaser—just look at him. But, keep dreamin’ girls, he already has a boyfriend.
 
 
#3 Alex Pettyfer
He starred in Magic Mike and stole our hearts with his rugged, yet sweet ambiance. Could he be the next Christian Grey?
  
 
#4 Ed Westwick
Okay, okay I’ll admit at first it might burn my eyes to see him with anyone besides Blair Waldorf, but I think we’d all agree sacrifices must be made. I, for one, would have no complaints seeing America’s favorite bad boy in this screening. 
 
 
#5 Rafael Nadal
A girl can dream right? Nike probably wouldn’t be too happy, though!
