Celebrities Who Should Not Play Christian Grey in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' [PHOTOS]
"Fifty Shades of Grey" has got the world wrapped around its' pages. Even Hollywood A-list celebrities admit to getting hooked on the erotica novel.

Author E.L. James has introduced readers to a world where S&M can go hand in hand with romance. Despite the heavily described BDSM themes, a hint of love and humanity is enriched within the main characters of the book, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.
It is no wonder why the book continues to be hyped about by a lot of book worms. Regardless of being called "mommy porn", even men are hooked on the book and Ryan Seacrest himself admitted the book would serve as his guide.
So what makes the male protagonist, Christian Grey, so likeable? The 27-year old entrepreneur is described as incredibly handsome, intelligent and charming. Despite the business-savvy and brooding front, Christian has a darker side to his story which is behind the reason of his BDSM-nature. It all changes once Christian meets the female protagonist, Anastasia Steele.
