Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie: Henry Cavill Vs....

The Fifty Shades of Grey movie casting war continues but at least it's getting more creative. Most recently, it's spawned a new way of taking stock of fans' preferences and suggestions for which stars should win the coveted titular role. Since E.L. James' uber famous "mommie porn" trilogy is all about sex, and also largely about Mr. Grey's stunning masculine pulchritude, "a popular Twitter account dedicated to giving followers casting options for 50 Shades" has conducted a poll with an interesting twist. Instead of asking fans to pick their perfect Christian from a list of famous names, respondents were asked to choose their fave rave candidate from a lineup of pics of shirtless and headless bodies. That's right, headless. The women (and presumably some men) polled will have to pick their perfect Christian Grey frontunner by looking at the contenders from the neck down.

So who won? Henry Cavill was the projected frontrunner in the "battle of the bods" competition. Although the buff, 6'1" tall, twenty-nine year old with the "toned physique" and washboard abs seemed like a sure thing, he somehow...wasn't. Superman glided in behind Matt Bomer. Looks ladies loved Matt Bomer's body moreÂ—probably because it was recently displayed stripped down to perfection "for his shirtless stint as Ken on Magic Mike."

So, there you have it. While casting has still not yet begun, you can check out some of the shirtless wonders longing to play Christian Grey by clicking here. Which one do you think has the perfect Fifty Shades of Grey physique?

Matt Bomer wasnt even pictured in that poll that was linked. Am I missing something here? Henry Cavill hands down has the hottest body. Holy crap! Henry is so the one, and not just physically but all around! Plus Henry is younger and his body will still look youthful throughout the filming process of all 3 books. He will get older throughout it, but he'll be starting younger than Matt and Ian.

I agree! Henry Cavill is the perfect age for Christian Grey. Henry is still in his late 20's like Christian. Ian and Matt are definitely up there in age. They'll be around 39 by the time they finish the last 50 Shades movie. Ian is too short and already has a lot of wrinkles on his face. Henry will have the emotional depth to portray Christian.
