Chase Crawford as Christian Grey?

The list of potential Christian Grey candidates seem to fluctuate on a weekly basis, but the top five remain pretty secure, however can this new Christian Grey candidate shake things up?

Gossip Girl’s Chase Crawford, who plays Nate Archibald in the series, is the new addition to the list of Christian Grey favorites who might give the others a run for their money. Chase fits the profile perfectly; he’s definitely got the good looks and body to take on the role of hunky Christian Grey and also has the grey eyes that we hear so much about. The actor is also the perfect age, at 27-years-old, so he’s the same age as Christian Grey.

Let’s look at Chase Crawford’s acting skills. He plays the part of young entrepreneur leading his own newspaper in Manhattan and definitely leads the luxurious lifestyle Christian Grey has, so it looks like Chase Crawford won’t be a stranger to town cars, fine dining and helicopter riding. However, there is something sweet and innocent about Chase Crawford’s character on Gossip Girl, which make us wonder whether he’s the ideal candidate to portray someone as complex and deviant as Christian Grey.

Chase Crawford may not be widely talked about for the role of Christian Grey, but slowly his name is rising in the polls, and while there is plenty of time before the studios consider casting Christian Grey for the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey, does that give Chase enough time to catch up?

At the moment the hottest Christian Grey contenders are Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder and Ryan Gosling. At the moment the polls show Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder as being the fan favorites for the part of Christian Grey and have been maintaining their top spots quite firmly, although there is a bit of fluctuation between the two competing actors. Even E.L. James admitted to being a Vampire Diaries fan, which lends a nod towards Ian Somerhalder in the part of Christian Grey, but Matt Bomer, does have a huge fan following who are dying to see him take up the role of Christian Grey.
