5. Robert Pattinson
Considering the book started out as Twilight fan fiction, its no shocker to find Robert Pattinson as one of the actors who might have played Christian Grey. In fact, the original characters were even named Edward Cullen and Bella Swan! Screenwriter Brett Easton Ellis once tweeted that “E L James and I were at Rob Pattinson’s house when she admitted that Rob was first choice for Christian.” We’re not sure if that would have worked, as Pattinson is so enmeshed in his vampire alter ego. We’d keep expecting Christian Grey to sparkle like Edward once he left the darkness of the Red Room.
