Fifty Shades Recast

So, the Fifty Shades folks announced that this fellow pictured on the left will play Christian Grey in the may never see the light of day movie of the same name.  Sorry fans, but I just can't see this movie arriving at a theatre near me anytime soon.

But, if you're curious, his name is Jamie Dornan and he hails from Northern Ireland.  And you may have seen him in a handful of episodes of Once Upon a Time, where, I must add, he was fabulous.

I don't dislike him for the role of Mr. Grey.  I just think my casting choice was better. 

I do find it a little funny that Mr. Dornan is from Ireland and he's replacing Charlie Hunnam for this role.  Why do I find it funny?  Because Charlie's character, Jax, is always having trouble with the Irish on his show Sons of Anarchy

;-}  Well, I didn't say you'd think it was funny, too!

  1. I have not read the book and I will not watch the movie, should it ever "see the light of day", as you put it. ;-)

    1. i so tried not to read the book, but i have this thing about books made into movies. i just love the "torture" of seeing if the movie is as good as the book. well, with this book, i wasn't impressed w/ the book and i just can't see hollywood taming it down enough to bring it to theatres!
