Christian Grey/Charlie Hannum
So I'll go ahead and do my chime-in on the 50 Shades casting. I don't care about the woman, Dakota Johnson, whatever, I don't know who she is but she looks ok. Just dye her hair brown. But the man... when I clicked the article on yahoo and saw this...
I was revolted. I was disgusted. This picture does him credit cause the one yahoo selected showed him as looking like he was close to 40 (christian is 27, I believe). He looked almost fat in the picture. He looked greying. He is blonde, though you can dye that. He looked craggy and worn. He was everything opposite of what Christian is supposed to be. Christian is supposed to be this uber hot guy that all the girls stare at. This is not that. I'd never heard of this guy before, but I was really disappointed. Though I wasn't really excited about a movie being made, I was still going to see it. But upon seeing this picture all the images in my head of how he looked were shattered. I decided I was never going to see the movie. Who did I want instead? I dunno, actually. I mean, I know a fan favorite was Ian Somerhalder, and yes that would have been absolutely perfect. They would have had to edit dictionaries to include a new definition of hot. But, really, I would have lost all respect for him. I liked the books but let's be honest... they're complete garbage. Anyway, after I'd spent a day being disgusted and righteously condemning their casting choice (though he's probably about the only one they could get to do it!) someone in a comment on one of the yahoo articles suggested people who hate this choice try searching up images of how he looked in Pacific Rim, which is a movie I have not seen. So, hoping that maybe the makeup team for that movie was awesome I went ahead and took a peek...
May I just say "oh my" and yes, please. I was wrong and I admit it, he'll be perfect. Why didn't yahoo use THIS picture instead of that other one!? I'm guessing a lot of the negative reactions would have never happened had they just used a decent picture.
