Justin Bieber approached for the role of Christian Grey?

From porn star to pop star, the part of Christian Grey in the forthcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie has had its fair share of ridiculous rumors, and now the 18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber says he’s in talks for the role of Christian Grey.

During the Jonathan Ross show, he claimed that he’s been approached for the part of Christian Grey.

“They actually want me to be in the movie,” exclaimed Bieber on the show. He might have a huge teen girl following, but considering Justin for Christian Grey might upset some of the more hardcore fans.

Christian Grey is supposed to be 27-years-old and seduces a younger Ana into a relationship that has its own red room of pain and non-disclosure contract. Could the teenage Justin pull off such an adult role?

His girlfriend Selena Gomez has been connected to the part of Anastasia Steele, and Selena already appeared in a comedy sketch that parodies the characters book where Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele make an appearance. She might have enjoyed doing the hilarious clip for Funny or Die, but young Selena couldn’t see herself as Ana.

“I know I’m taking risks but I don’t think I could do that,” said Gomez, “That would be a little too much for me.”

Apparently before the skit, Selena had not read the book before and had no idea what was in store for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

“When they told me about the skit, I didn’t know what the book was about, so I started to read it and was like, oh, this is spicy, I thought it was good, it was intriguing,” said Selena, “The skit was really funny.”

It’s unlikely we’re going to see Selena Gomez in the part of Anastasia Steele, but what about Justin Bieber in the part of Christian Grey? We can see that would bring in the wrong audience for an adult movie like Fifty Shades of Grey, and that the more mature fans would certainly not buy the teenage Justin Bieber as the mature and sophisticated Christian Grey.
