What do you get when you take the sexiest man on earth and the hottest book out there and mix them together? Every woman's total fantasy, that's what. Just heard through the grapevine, well actually it was Gather.com that sexy Alexander Skarsgard has shown an interest in playing Christian Grey. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but the thought of this gorgeous man in that incredible role just takes my breath away.
For those of you (and I'm assuming you are from another planet) that haven't heard about Fifty Shades of Grey, it's a romance book with a strong theme of BDSM. You can read my review for this book on Amazon here. Needless to say I was blown away by the book, but hearing this news, well I'm not sure my heart can take it.
Most of us know Alexander as the Sexy Sheriff Northman on True Blood. There is one scene in particular from True Blood that makes me think he's perfect for this part. If you're a True Blood fan you'll remember his bondage scenario with his dancer, Yvetta. Christian Grey would be a perfect part for Mr. Skarsgard as far as I'm concerned, and yes I would be the first in line at the theater to see the performance!
If I hear more about this you can be sure I'll be spouting off here about it. This is like a dream come true if it happens, and I have to admit I'm chomping at the bit to find out how it all plays out. In case you haven't figured it out by now this is my dream role for Alexander!
Sweet Dreams,
Love Michelle
I heard Ian Somerhalder or Robet Pattinson were up for the role? Both of wh are gorgeous. However, I remember that scene in TB - (who could forget it - his butt begged to be bitten) :P - I so think he'd make a better choice - despite not having read the Grey books yet (although it's as if I have from the amount I've read about it - the first of the series sits on my Kindle waiting for attention - damn book tour commitments getting in the way). Although, I did consider watching the movie BEFORE reading the books however. Sometimes the other way around can be so disappointing. I'm off to read your review now. X
ReplyDeleteHey there Shah,
ReplyDeleteI actually hadn't heard that the other two were interested, so this could prove a battle! I definitely haven't forgotten that scene with Eric and all I can say is yummy! I write short reviews without spoilers, just not enough time in the day lately. I definitely understand book commitments. I do worry that since the book was supposedly written as a Twilight fan fiction that Pattinson would get the job, but Alexander ... that's just a fantasy without enough words to express LOL
Please, please let this happen!!
ReplyDeleteHey there Emma! We'll just keep our fingers crossed that the Powers that Be choose our man for the role!
DeletePlease Universal people listen to our prayers ....let it be Skarsgards by all means
ReplyDeleteMy friends from the Boutique Du Vampyre in Louisiana had the great joy of hanging out with Alexander yesterday... ask me how jealous I am LOL
