'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting News: 'New Girl' Star Ready to take on Christian Grey [POLL]
Yet another actor has spoken out about wanting to nab the coveted role of Christian Grey in the upcoming erotic novella -turned-film, "Fifty Shades of Grey." It's none other than "New Girl" funny guy, Max Greenfield - who stars alongside the stunning Zooey Deschanel on the Fox sitcom.
In a recent interview with Celebuzz, the 31-year-old actor exclaimed, "I want to audition for the movie. I think I'd be great in it!"
Greenfield goes on to say in the interview:
"Look, when I read the book, I thought, 'What a comedy!' I think maybe I can bring a little bit of validity to the situation. Sometimes, you try to figure out life and what it all means, and maybe I only got this New Girl job so that I would be enough of a commodity to get the role of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey. I'd probably retire after I did that because I think my performance would be just spot-on."
Okay, so maybe some "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans don't think along the lines of "comedy" when they picture E.L. James' novel portrayed up on the big screen. But looks like Greenfield strongly believes he can bring a dose of much-needed "raw intensity" to the role of Grey.
Greenfield has yet to read the "Fifty Shades" trilogy, but he wouldn't be surprised for the topic/theme to come up in a future episode of "New Girl,"
"I haven't read anything in any of those scripts about 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' but I'm sure that it's going to come up. If we were going to do it, we'd have to dedicate an entire episode to it and go all out. Slowly but surely, everyone in the apartment will be reading it. It will be like a sexual awakening!"
As for the starlet he would like to see portray Anastasia Steele if he manages to snag the role of Christian Grey - "New Girl" co-star Lena Dunham. In fact, seems like Greenfield wouldn't mind taking over most of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" production:
"[Dunham]'s fantastic. What if Judd [Apatow, film director] and I collaborated and turned 'Fifty Shades of Grey' into a movie together? That's what I'd like to do. Me, Lena, and Judd. It's a done deal. I'm calling whoever owns the rights and making this happen."
Again, looks like only time will tell which lucky celeb will win the role of the wealthy and kinky Christian Grey (although rumors have it that one fan-favorite, Ryan Gosling, may not be in the running any longer).
