Following our discovery that the majority of fans want to see Emilia Clarke cast as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, we have decided to search for who you want as Christian Grey in the film. We have already eliminated a number of candidates, with Henry Cavill, Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder making it through so far. Now, we take a look at Eddie Redmayne and Robert Pattinson.
Eddie Redmayne does not quite fit the bill
Eddie Redmayne
English actor Eddie Redmayne is certainly a star who is on the up. He has become a household name, thanks to his performance in the hit movie Les Miserables and he is on the verge of becoming a global superstar. The time could be right for Eddie Redmayne to shoulder a huge movie but we are unsure whether he could pull off the role of Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
Robert Pattinson has potential
Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson has made no secret of the fact that there are a number of things about fame that he dislikes but that will not stop him doing what he loves. Robert has been proving himself as a potential Hollywood great but whether he would want to play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey film is unclear. Pattinson would certainly bring a huge fanbase to the already massive franchise, which can only be a good thing.
With all things considered, neither of these have been topping any polls to see who should play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie but, Robert Pattinson just has the edge over Eddie Redmayne, due to the fact that he knows what carrying a huge franchise is all about.
Winner: Robert Pattinson
