Fans of the world’s most famous sparkly vampire don’t seem like the type of people who would also be into BDSM novels about a sadistic billionaire, but they are when they’re one and the same! The series Fifty Shades of Grey was inspired by the character Edward Cullen from the Twilight series, and, not to typecast, Robert Pattinson is ready for his close up! The British star is reportedly super stressed and panicked about what he’ll do once the final installment of the vampire saga is released, but he already has a part lined up: as masochist Christian Grey!
In an interview with MTV, Robert showed quite a bit of enthusiasm when asked if he’d read any Twilight fanfic. His hasty reply? “I read a bit of the Fifty Shades of Grey once, before it was Fifty Shades of Grey. Master of the Universe!” I’ll admit that I didn’t know about Fifty Shades until this spring, but it seems rather odd for Rob to have found Master of the Universe, which was the fanfic title, all on his own!
Could it be that Rob just likes to stay in the loop with fan art, or is he scoping out his next big film series? While he isn’t my first pick for haughty, super rich, sex god Christan (I’m looking at you, Ian Somerhalder!), I suppose he could do well. And what is it they say about books growing with the readers? I think that transitioning from teen fiction to hard core porn lit counts! Of course, Rob didn’t say much more, and I wouldn’t expect him to. He tends to be very stoic and mum in interviews (except when he lets major gaffes slip, which I appreciate!), and he already has the accent down. Heck, he’d get to come to Seattle to film (my hometown), which should be quite a comfort as his Twilight hometown is just four hours west! Would you approve of a Rob/Edward/Christian casting situation?

I love Twilight and I love 50. I also love RPattz!!! He is very sexy and the perfect Edward. He has the look for Christian too….in clothes. While i would love to see his face with all that intensity, he just doesn’t stack up in the body category. He would need to bulk up for sure. Maybe Taylor Lautner could help him ;)

pleaseeeeee . i don’t want kristin stewert ! :(
Actually, there is a trailer on youtube with him in Master of the Universe that is right on. I also am an Ian fan but, can see RP in the role.
I think he’s far from perfect for this role… I just can’t imagine him as Christian.
Ian Somerhalder was totally the person I was thinking about while reading 50 Shades of
Grey. He definitely is the perfect Christian.
Robert doesnt have the body or the looks to play Christian Grey, Someone who would be some what perfect for the role in my opinion is James Scott, He plays EJ Dimera in the American TV Soap Opera Days of Our Lives. When he gets angry in his role he just sends your imagination back to think about 50 shades. When his character is calm and collect he reminds you of the hot, kind of sexy rich person that christian Grey should be! :-D
Robert would be out of sight Aw as the sex giddy. He’s perfect for the part and Kristen Stewart. I love them both, especially Robert Pattison. He’s very handsome, and very sexy…gorgeousGloria he is.
Rob is PERFECT for the role.l think he is a total hunk!!!
Robert is gorgeous . He would be perfect for the part, but will need to find another leading lady.
