Jamie Dornan Picked To Be New Christian Grey In "50 Shades Of Grey" Movie
Jamie Dornan is the new Christian Grey, according to Variety magazine.
The ridiculously good-looking 31-year-old actor, model and ex of Keira Knightly replaces the departing Charlie Hunnam, who stepped down after accepting the part earlier this summer.
Dornan, who appeared in Sophia Coppola's Marie-Antoinette and currently stars on ABC's Once Upon a Time, beat out a half dozen other male stars being considered for the role, including Christian Cooke, Billy Magnusson, Theo James and Alexander Skarsgard. Our theory about it being 50 Shades director Sam Taylor-Wood's husband, Kiss-Ass actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was way off, apparently.
Universal and Focus Features' are hoping to start production in November for a release date of August 1, 2014, release.
