Fans of "Fifty Shades of Grey" have made it clear that potential actors for the role of Christian Grey will need a hot body. As of April 5 a very fit Henry Cavill is winning Fashion and Style's "Top 5 Hottest Bods for Christian Grey" poll with a healthy lead over favorite Ian Somerhalder. The competition also includes Ryan Gosling, Matt Bomer and Jensen Ackles. Surprisingly, Somerhalder and Bomer have each only garnered 18% of the votes. The buffer physiques, Cavill and Ackles, are in the top two spots. Fans are showing they want a more muscular Christian Grey.
Henry Cavill, 29, has been a long standing fan favorite that has flown under the radar during most "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting debates. The "Man of Steel" has the look, charisma and acting ability to handle the role of the riding crop wielding CEO. A top Henry Cavill fan site commented on his ability to adapt to new roles. "Henry would be willing and able to transform his body to become Christian Grey. He has changed his body to fit different roles, from lean and muscular in 'Immortals' to bulky and muscular in the 'Man of Steel'." The site administrator Jen went on to say, “Whoever plays Christian Grey has to be sexy and gorgeous. If you've seen pictures of Henry Cavill, I don't think I need to explain that part."
On March 29 Cavill returned home from a trip to Japan where he did press for "Man of Steel." The actor will be kept busy in the coming months promoting the highly anticipated Superman reboot, yet after the June release Cavill has an open schedule. Henry Cavill fans are hoping he is already E L James' choice for Christian Grey and the studio is simply being forced to push a casting announcement until after "Man of Steel" hits theaters.
