Fifty Shades Of Grey Movie: Is Matt Bomer Playing Christian Grey?

The casting for the film adaption of popular soccer-mom porn Fifty Shades of Grey seems like it's been going on forever, with buzz intensifying every time a new actor is mentioned to take on the role of S&M enthusiast Christian Grey.

So far the most popular choices seem to involve dudes who could really sink their teeth into things, so to speak — Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries — while others think the part calls for more of a superhero.

But what about White Collar and Magic Mike star Matt Bomer? That's the question some 50 Shades fans are asking, and we have to agree he'd make an inspired choice. Here's why:

1He has an appreciation for the female form

2Not to mention the good looks to pull off being cocky

3Plus, we could easily see him channeling Christian's habit of shaming Anastasia into submission

4Since he got his start on soaps, Matt certainly knows a thing or two about being melodramatic

13Matt's Magic Mike skill set could even be worked in Women love guys who can dance, right? Even a drip like Anastasia.
