Guest EXPAT Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 After months of middle-aged women speculating and debating who should bring "50 Shades of Grey" and its hard core sex scenes to life, we finally have the answer: Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson. Author E.L. James tweeted the news Monday -- the bondage/sex freak role of Christian Grey went to 33-year-old Hunnam -- best known for his role on "Sons of Anarchy".

Guest EXPAT Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Of course, Brett Easton Ellis chimed in that the first choice for Christian Grey was Robert Pattinson, as told to him by EL James, the author, at a dinner party. He also took time to reiterate that Matt Bomer was never in the running, which he claimed would have been unbelievable to have a gay man in the role. I find that incredibly offensive. Straight people play all kinds of roles and no one ever says that it is unbelievable that they could play that role because they are straight. Just another reason to NOT watch this movie or support it in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hitoallusa Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Oh my that is really offensive thing to say. My Boomer can play a straight guy well enough... I don't think I would be able to tell he is gay if he had not come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members msclelovr Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 Nice, but I prefer their first sex scene together, where Charlie Hunnam gasps with ecstasy as he is rimmed. Quite a 'first' for British television at 9pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Vulture did an interesting piece on Charlie Hunnam being cast asChristian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, and called it a full circle with his Queer as Folk character, who started out young and innocent, but rapidly explored the world of sex and drugs with an older mentor. It’s worth a read just to have a publication like Vulture feed you the line “where he is convincingly, enthusiastically rimmed by Aidan Gillen.” I really need to rent both the British and American versions again.

Guest Fluffypuff Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 FF here, as lots of other people will be now that the other site is down. I guess he's supposed to look like an iconoclastic, mega-wealthy tech entrepreneur instead of an investment banker. I would have preferred a brunette.
