4. Ryan Gosling as Christian?
After a star-making 2011, Ryan Gosling's finely chiseled face has been engraved in the hearts and minds of women everywhere. After slick cult hit, Drive, he became a hit with the men too. He's the flavour of the month, and as Crazy Stupid Love and Drive prove, he can carry a film to a successful box-office taking. It would certainly be a very different and unfamiliar role for Gosling, but his variety has been proven to those who have seen Half Nelson and Blue Valentine. Fifty Shades would be something else entirely however, and it would take strong shoulders to not be overwhelmed by the subject-material and bombastic hype surrounding the Fifty Shades phenomenon. Gosling is one of the finest young actors in Hollywood, and is already a hit with the ladies. His schedule could prevent him from appearing as Christian, as he is set to appear in Terrence Malick's next project and re-team with Nicolas Windig Refn for Only God Forgives. If the Fifty Shades movie is going to be a hit, it needs a central performance from someone with the seductive power of Gosling. Here's hoping the producers woo him into appearing.
