While visiting Ryan Seacrest’s show, The Vampire Diaries ‘ Ian Somerhalder revealed that he might be “potentially” up for the role of gazillionaire playboy/closet BDSM freak Christian Grey in the big screen adaptation of E. L. James’ breathless erotica 50 Shades of Grey . To which I say: Yes. I’ll allow it. That said, Somerhalder was choosing his words so carefully it’s hard to tell exactly how far in the casting process he might be, so take it with a grain of salt. Oh, and enjoy the mental image of Ryan Seacrest listening to the squirmier parts of the 50 Shades audiobook at the valet stand. Somerhalder is a touch older than the 27-year-old bondage-obsessed hero of the 50 Shades trilogy, but as you can see from his hit CW show he may look 20-something for all of eternity. (Recall his turn in 2002’s The Rules of Attraction , lest ye think he’s just some pretty face from TV.) I still can’t believe they’re attempting to adapt the dirtiest, most melodramatic piece of Twilight fan fic I’ve ever read into a movie. Let’s hope Universal & Focus keep it authentically almost-porny. This movie can’t come fast enough, so to speak. [via Celebuzz ]
