8 Reasons No Sane Actor Wants to Play Christian Grey | The Stir

It was pretty shocking when Charlie Hunnam dropped out of Fifty Shades of Grey a mere three weeks before filming was set to begin. At first, I thought there is no way he really dropped out. Not only do actors not dare to burn bridges in Tinseltown, but they are normally obligated to finish a role once they sign a contract. I figured Charlie and the studio saying he had too much TV work to do was a cover -- but for what? I'm not sure we'll ever completely know. But this much is true -- at this point, pretty much everyone from Robert Pattinson to Matt Bomer to Chris Pine to Ryan Gosling had been rumored to have been offered the role. And turned it down. And at least one actor -- Charlie! -- ran from it after agreeing to do it. So what is up with Christian Grey? Is he cursed?  While Grey might seem like the most awesomely amazing character ever with every actor lining up to play him -- it's clear that the opposite is true. Actors are either completely disinterested or scared. Sure, you've got a few, like Dallas' Josh Henderson, who are down with the part, but for the most part, no one is! Why? Here's why.
