I thought the exact same thing! When I first started reading the book, the first thing I thought of was the character "Killer" in Faster. To me, he just seemed to BE Christian Grey!
Needless to say, reading the book and imagining Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Christian, wasn't the worst thing I've ever done! *yum*
You just gotta keep livin' man. L-I-V-I-N...
I came here to post the same thing! I just watched Faster last night and after reading the trilogy, I couldn't believe how much he matched the character. He would be awesome in that role.
shareAfter watching him in World Without End, he is just the perfect Christian Grey. I too came here to post about it and found the thread already created. I just hope they at least consider him for the role.
shareI agree but not just because I saw him in Faster. The World Without End series showed the nasty side of the character and Grey can be pretty nasty. There is also the added incentive that OJC speaks fluent French, as does Grey. He is versed in MMA and Yoga. Although he doesn't have chest hair in Faster, he does in WWE and the author makes a big deal of that in the 50 Shades books. Height, coloring, and sheer male beauty.......1000% better than Gosling, Somerhalder or the host of other would-be Christians. PLUS the age is right where it wouldn't be with most of those in contention. My second choice would be Tom Hardy but that's just me. OJC is my first choice.
It's not the length of the scythe that counts but how you wield it.
If he was casted, I would have been remotely interested in watching that movie. Sadly it didn't happen, so I'll pass.
