After many months of speculation and thrown around name drops, the final casting for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele has been made official by the trilogy's author, E.L. James, and the world is buzzing about it.
I had a speculation about who would be cast for the leading role thanks to my mother, Debbie McCullough. She texted me a few weeks ago,
"Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey" and was followed by my immediate eyebrow lift.
Who?
And I was immediately intrigued. I've always believed that Christian should be played by a new actor, possibly unknown to America and I always pictured him in my mind as tall, definitely not thin but not made of muscles either. I imaged Christian with sculpted abs, almost to the point of overkill. I imaged him free of tattoos. I imagined a light dusting of hair covering his scars. I imagined his hair to be short, tailored, and sandy blonde. I always pictured striking blue eyes and a sensuous mouth. I simply pictured; perfection.
Back to the task at hand. I was unaware of who Chris Hunnam was and I immediately googled the name, and all that came up were articles stating that rumors circulating that Chris Hunnam was chosen to play Christian Grey were in fact, just that, a rumor, so I quickly relayed the message to my mom, and went back to daydreaming.
