What Christian Grey ACTUALLY Looks Like…According To Readers

It’s one of those books that will remain a phenomenon for a loooong time to come.  It has everything a woman is looking for: sex, love, intensity.  So, what book could I possibly be talking about?  It’s Fifty Shades Of Grey, of course (although I’m sure you could have guessed).

Besides being a crazy popular novel, it’s being made into a movie.  See, that’s great news, but there’s a problem with this: everyone has their own image of what the ridiculously good-looking, wealthy Christian Grey should look like!  No worries people, science and technology have decided to help us all out.  Some scientists have come up with their very own version of Christian Grey.  I know what you’re thinking: great, another person’s version, excellent.  But no, they created this using the same e-fit software used to catch criminals!  So savvy!

Using this e-fit software (that is also casually employed in police investigations), they attempted to put a face to this mysterious and seriously sexy character.

But the image they derived is just… an imposter.

I am seriously, seriously depressed by this image.  I know, each woman has their own “type”, but this guy is just NOT Christian.  So while I have some ideas of how he should look and who should play him (hint: NOT THAT GUY!!), which I will share with you below, and CollegeCandy already weighed in on the matter, I actually really want to hear your thoughts.  So, who do you think should play Christian Grey?  Who would you love to see being scandalous, scary, and sexy on the big screen?

To give you a little help, here’s my prime choices for the one and only Christian Grey.  I mean let’s be real, this is a very serious manner, it takes a lot of consideration!!

    I think a younger Jude Law is good – the coppery hair and the GREY EYES!! James Franco might be good, but he doesn't have the vital grey eyes…

    That last picture is Colin Egglesfield, not Matt Bomer

    It's creepy because the eyes and nose are exactly how I pictured him in my head. Definitely agree with Chris Hemsworth though!

    I do not like the composite at all. The hair is about the only thing I pictured on him that is even close. My ideas for Christian were either Johnathan Rhys Meyers or Ian Somerhalder.

    Ian Somerhalder would be perfect, and is who I pictue.

    I think wentworth miller would make an excellent c grey. He has the intensity, the look and the acting ability. Katie hilmes would make the perfect miss steele

    French actor TOMER SISLEY would be great..He played in Largo Winch ! He is dark, manly, handsome, with great style and has a sexy witty smile that lightens up his eyes… He is Christian Grey !
    Christian Grey can never be played by one of these Hollywood "babyfaced boys" !

    as a guy who read the book and am very comfortable with my sexuality i would have to say that either chris hemsworth of chris pine would be a good person for the role. I am more inclinded to say chris hemsworth though. I have my own view of christian myself but hemsworth is def the closest i could think of. I have though had three different women that they thought of me while reading about christian..

    I think Chace Crawford would be perfect. Hair, eyes, looks great in a suit and he is the right age. People seem to look past the fact that Christian Grey is only in his late 20′s.
