Is Ryan Gosling set to play the lead role of Christian in Fifty Shades of Grey? Not exactly. Or at all. But the rumor mill has run wild with this one. Why? According to reports, author E. L. James’ husband Niall Leonard thinks Gosling would be perfect and he is now the frontrunner for the role. Only those reports aren’t accurate. “As usual, it’s all been misreported,” she said. “What happened is that his local paper … reported on my husband being the inspiration for Christian Grey.” “Underneath, they put a picture of Ryan Gosling. So, that’s how that came about.” James, meanwhile, says she has 3-4 actors in mind for the steamy role, but declines to name any names.
