3. Ryan Gosling
As one of the most lusted after men in the business, it is no wonder 'The Notebook' star was reportedly the first choice for the role of Christian Grey. Therefore, when it was announced that the actor turned down the role simply down to lack of interest, many were left very disappointed. Although Gosling hasn't actually confirmed this decision himself in an interview, so there is still a small glimmer of hope...
2. Ryan Reynolds
If we can't have Ryan Gosling, what about this man? In no way is the 'Safe House' star less attractive or less suited to the role, after all he has Mr Grey's tall, broad build and his "dark, copper-coloured hair." Despite being featured in many publishers' speculations, Reynolds is yet to confirm or deny any rumours, although it is unlikely he will reject the role due to a busy filming schedule!
