Meet Mr Grey:



'Fifty Shades of Grey': Charlie Hunnam to play Christian Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey" novelist E.L. James was very busy on Twitter on Monday morning. No sooner had she announced that Dakota Johnson ("Ben and Kate&quot had been cast in the feature film version of her erotic novel as Anastasia Grey she broke some other news too.

"The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey in the film adaptation of 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' " she wrote.

Though Johnson's casting was a surprise, Hunnam's name had been bandied about of late as one of the leading candidates to play the 27-year-old billionaire who finds romance with a college student.

As far as SOA, I found the first seasons to have been written kinda like the old biker movies. Not bad, but not the best. Still worth the time watching, tho.
