If you’re a fan of 50 Shades of Grey by E. L. James, then you probably know that the book is being turned into a movie. Finally, the cast of 50 Shades of Grey has been announced. Woo hoo! I’m very, very sure that they will not be able to act out everything in the book, otherwise it’ll just be full blown porn. We, the fans, have been wondering who would play the part of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Personally, I was more focused on Christian Grey than I was on Anastasia. I thought it might be Matt Bomer or Ryan Gosling. But I was wrong. E L James herself tweeted the chosen actor and actress to act the parts yesterday.
I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Charlie Hunnam & Dakota Johnson
So, these are the actors that will be playing the parts of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele respectively. I don’t actually know much about these people, but I am not mad at the casting – not that me being mad would make any kind of difference anyway. Although I’m referring to them as the cast of 50 Shades of Grey, obviously, they are not the only cast. They’re just the lead cast. I don’t know if the rest have been chosen and/or announced.
Charlie Hunnam – whose name reminds me of Christian Grey’s famous Charlie Tango helicopter – is a fine boy, and I can see Christian Grey all over him. With some tweaking, Dakota will be well on her way to being a perfect Anastasia Steele. The movie will be made by Universal Pictures, distributed by Focus Films, and released next year (2014). The book itself has been translated in 50 languages and sold over 7 million copies. Go E L James!!
P.S. What do E. L. James and J. K. Rowling have in common?
*Thank you for reading, commenting on, and sharing this post*
I think Superman guy (Henry Cavalli or something) and Mila Kunis are a better fit
Hmmm. Very interesting. I didn’t even think of Mila. Henry is a fine man, and he does have grey eyes. Well, I’m sure they had their reasons for making their choices. Can’t wait to see the movie.
I do see these two as Christian and Anastasia….I hope they dont ruin the book ooooo {if you know what I mean ;-)}
Lol. I’m not sure if I know what you mean *side eye* but I do hope, too, that they don’t ruin the book. Can’t wait to see it.
I’m not mad at the cast. But my friend is verryyyyy angry. I hope Dakota can make a good Ana tho… I’d like to see who plays Mia (Christian’s sister) and Taylor 😀
Ooooh. That should be fun. I feel like reading the book again, just to refresh my memory. I’m not mad either. Just curious.
