The Latest “Fifty Shades of Grey” Casting Rumor

The rumors keep swirling around who will be cast as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey."  The latest rumor is from a source very close to the steamy trilogy's author.  E.L. James' husband, Niall Leonard, says the "last he heard" Ryan Gosling is the main choice to play the leading man Christian Grey in his wife's bestselling novel. 

The United Kingdom's Now magazine reportedly spoke with Leonard, who gave the highly anticipated announcement new light.

Do you think Gosling has what it takes to portray Mr. Grey?

As for my choice, I've come up with another man who I think could actually pull off Christian's look.  Have you seen the show, "The Mentalist?" Simon Baker does have a certain "billionaire/BDSM" look to him, doesn't he?
