Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' —
OK "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans, it looks like some of you have gotten your wish. Charlie Hunnam will not be playing Christian Grey in the big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' best-selling novel. You can once again start fantasizing about who might snag the role instead. Here are a few names that have come up.

Matt Bomer —
Lots of people believed "White Collar's" Matt Bomer would have made a great Christian Grey. (The actor appears as a stripper in "Magic Mike," so we figured he'd be down for some on-screen BDSM.)

Garrett Hedlund —
Garrett Hedlund steamed up the screen in "Tron: Legacy" and "Troy." He definitely has the looks for the role.

Ian Somerhalder —
The devilish look of Ian Somerhalder has served him well on the TV series "The Vampire Diaries." He could bring that to the role.

Ryan Gosling —
Need we plead our case for Ryan Gosling?

Wes Bentley —
With "The Hunger Games" under his belt, Wes Bentley could have taken on the role.

Chris Pine —
He's shown his range from "This Means War" to "People Like Us," so we know Chris Pine could have taken on Grey.

Chris Hemsworth —
If new dad Chris Hemsworth isn't too busy wielding Thor's hammer to take part, he could have easily stepped into Grey's shoes.
