It's a new week, and that means new "50 Shades of Grey" casting rumors. As usual, we still have yet to received any official word from E. L. James or Universal Studios. The stingy "50 Shades" creative team has apparently decided that it's fun to leave fans high and dry, clinging on by a thinning thread, praying for the agonizing wait to come to an end. Well, we hope you're having fun while the rest of us suffer, but in the meantime, fan-made Facebook pages and trailers dedicated to top "50 Shades" candidates will have to do.
One Hollywood star in particular that continues to snag "50 Shades" headlines is "White Collar's" Matt Bomer. "Seriously... he is the most beautiful man in the world and the perfect Christian Grey <3," one fans writes on the "Matt Bomer for Christian Grey" Facebook page, which has earned more than 135,000 likes. That's quite impressive compared to other Christian Grey favorites.
"The Vampire Diaries'" Ian Somerhalder has also remained a fan favorite for Mr. Grey since the beginning, and although he has various "50 Shades" fan pages dedicated to his contention, from "50 Shades of Ian Somerhalder" to "Ian Somerhalder for Christian Grey," the amount of Facebook love doesn't come near that of Bomer's. Although it's not a clear indicator, it looks like Bomer may be leading the pack as the fan favorite for Christian Grey. How James and Universal perceive him for the role, that's a different story. No one knows, and it doesn't look like we will anytime soon.
Bomer's name has also been repeatedly linked to a potential Anastasia Steele candidate. The association has practically made them a package deal. Wherever you see Bomer for Christian Grey, Alexis Bledel is close by. The "Gilmore Girls" star remains one of the top contenders for the role of Ana, and her pairing with Bomer certainly doesn't hurt her "50 Shades" clout. The two even have a shared Facebook fan page dedicated to their potential "50 Shades" pairing.
"Undisputed, absolute authentic articulated actors & mesmerizing perfect pair for 50 Shades, Christian & Ana of Fifty Shades, Bomer & Bledel," the page reads. The two have even earned their very own fan-made trailer. Check it out below and let us know what you think. Are Bomer and Bledel the ones for the "50 Shades of Grey" movie?
