Though he’s previously said no to the role, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s husband could be the perfect person to replace Charlie Hunnam
Charlie Hunnam is not Christian Grey. (A moment of silence, please.) Jamie Dornan may be Christian Grey—and we would definitely, without a doubt, see Fifty Shades of Grey if he is.
But production is set to start very soon and we need a Mr. Grey now. Fifty Shades without a Christian Grey is like sex without a Red Room of pain and pleasure. What’s the point? Which is why we’re proposing this: Aaron Taylor-Johnson should play Christian Grey.
Aaron, who starred in such films as Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2, Anna Karenina and will next appear in Avengers 2, is the husband of director Sam Taylor-Johnson. When she first booked the gig, he told Metro UK, “I am not Christian Grey. I mean, he is supposed to be the most gorgeous man on the f–king planet! And I am not old enough.”

Don’t sell yourself short, Aaron! Here are all the reasons we think you are the perfect person to play Christian Grey:
1. If you missed his resumé up top, he’s already a well established actor and his star is only on the rise.

Ian Gavan/Getty Images3. He’s carried a rated-R franchise (Kick-Ass).
Universal StudiosGood to know, for Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed‘s sake.
4. Next, he’ll star in the Godzilla reboot opposite Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen.
CYVR/AKM-GSIAs for the not “being the most gorgeous man on the f–king planet” issue, all the reasons after this beg to differ.
