On Tuesday evening's "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, "Arrows" heartthrob Stephen Amell talked "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting rumors as well as playing a sexy male prostitute on the former HBO hit series "Hung"... of course, this only instigated further Christian Grey buzz! And apparently, the 31-year-old Canadian hottie is totally flattered to be considered for the kinky role of Mr. Grey. Are "Fifty Shades" fans drooling at the thought of Amell seducing the cute-and-innocent Anastasia Steele already?

As several "Fifty Shades" fans probably remember, Amell posted this Christian Grey-inspired video on his official Facebook page not too long ago...

According to Amell, "I get questions about Christian Grey all the time. That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."

The clip's already recieved over 3,000 "likes" and counting.

And on a recent episode of NBC's "Tonight Show," comedic host Jay Leno pushed Amell for more details in regards to such Mr. Grey rumors. Amell (who's not afraid to show is avid interest in the film) responded, "I had a meeting with the studio that is doing that movie and we spoke about it. And I anecdotally brought it up on my Facebook page, which I didn't realize was real news now... I've operated my page the same way when I had 200 friends and now I have more than that and all of a sudden it was this big news story. But now, I'm flattered if any movie role and my name are mentioned in the same sentence because there haven't been a ton of them. I'm still an actor who wants to work all the time."

Amell-supporters are probably thrilled to hear that he's so keen on starring in E.L. James' erotic film adoptation of the popular book series. But the fun doesn't end there... Amell also discussed how much he enjoyed playing a male prostitute (Jason) on the former comedy/drama series, "Hung!"
