He’s in, he’s out and Matt Bomer may be in again now that Charlie Hunnam has officially quit the coveted role of Christian Grey in the movie adaption of Fifty Shades.
Hunnam has cited contractual obligations to TV show Sons of Anarchy as the reason for his departure, let’s hope that Matt still has a space in his calendar.

Matt Bomer Facts & Pictures
Matthew Staton Bomer was born on 11th October 1977. He is a 34-year-old Libran. Matt’s father is former Dallas Cowboy John Bomer.
Matt attended Klein High School (Houston) with actor Lee Pace (Pace will soon be seen as King Thranduil of Mirkwood in The Hobbit, the father of Legolas).
Matt got his big TV break in the ABC soap All My Children (2000). He has also appeared in Tru Calling, North Shore and Chuck.
Matt is probably best known for playing Neal Caffrey in White Collar (from 2009).
Matt’s big screen credits include Flightplan, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and In Time. He can currently be seen in Magic Mike.
Matt attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and graduated the same year as True Blood’s Joe Manganiello (his Magic Mike co-star).
Matt may be the best-looking gay man on the planet. His partner is Hollywood Publicist Simon Halls and he has three children; Kit (2005) and twins Walker and Henry (2009).
Matt Bomer IS Christian Grey. Oh look… he’s all wet…
Didn’t understand why you used a pic of Matt with some random guy while you were talking about his His partner & three children- Kit and twins Walker and Henry. Couldn’t you use their pic instead?

Has he been officially cast? I think he would be perfect, but I heard that there was a rumor about him and Alexis Bleidel being in the film started by a fake trailer.

Hi Alison, yep I think Matt is a definite. No word yet on who the actress joining him will be 🙂

[…] What do you guys think? Soooooo, Matt Bomer is Christian Grey (I've fainted). Erotica scribe Anne Rice has already cited Bomer as her preferred casting choice for the lead character, Reuben, in her latest book, The Wolf Gift (and a favourite to play Louis in The Vampire Chronicles too). Is it inappropriate to say he's up and coming? Click here for more photos 🙂 […]

I haven’t read 50 Shades because I just don’t have the time! I think a lot of people who have never read erotica before are hooked on the novelty 🙂 I’d rather read Anne Rice’s Beauty Trilogy x

She had looked at the pictures but not read what it said. She thought he was good looking but said would he be able to cut it? To be honest, I don’t think anyone will be right in her mind. I am like that with Heathcliff, no-one seems to get him right.

That’s right. I nearly had kittens when I heard Peter Jackson was making The Lord of The Rings, but that turned out brilliantly 🙂

I think we have to give people a chance. It is really important to the actors that they get it right. I can’t imagine how terrifying it must be if fans of something with a huge following think that you’ve got it wrong.

If Matt Bomer doesn’t get the lead playing Christian Grey, I for one, will be soooo disappointed. He’s perfect, eyes, body, hair, moods, oh yah!!! The book is amazing. I bought the triology and hope there will be movies of 50 Shades Darker and 50 Shades Freed, also. I’ve not read anything so captivating and I’ll miss Christian and Anastasia when I finish the trilogy.

You’ll just have to go straight back to the beginning and read them all over again 😉 Matt Bomer is a definite, he’s been so close to big movie roles before (Superman for one) but this time he’s nailed it, he looks just right, I’m sure the movies will be a hit and the full series will be made x

Yeah, I can see it. He would work. 🙂
