Fifty Shades of Grey: 10 Actors Who Must Play Christian Grey

9. Ian Sommerhalder

Age: 33 Best Known For: Television roles in Lost and The Vampire Diaries Why He€™d Be Good: He€™s a top contender according to the gossip blogs. He€™s already tackled explicit scenes, he€™s got eyes that will unravel any woman€™s clothes and at the same time he can be vulnerable and loveable. In The Vampire Diaries he plays Damon Salvatore in which he flits between calm and casual to pure evil in an instant. Like Christian Grey, Ian's character keeps to himself; he's a bit of a loner. Why He Wouldn€™t: He€™s a philanthropist and loves animals. I can€™t see Christian Grey opening an animal sanctuary anytime soon.
