The Country Strong scene-stealer reportedly has passed on starring on the first adaptation of E L James’ racy best-selling Fifty Shades Trilogy.
Word on the street is Hedlund did not want to take on a three-picture commitment to play the S&M-happy billionaire Christian Grey in the movies, the first of which will be directed by Nowhere Boy’s Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Hedlund’s is the latest name associated to the part in any meaningful way.
Earlier this year, Chris Hemsworth was said to be the No. 1 choice for the part, while Stephen Amell (TVs Arrow) even took a meeting about it in the spring, but that didn’t pan out, for he is back at work on his hit TV show and the movie is scheduled to come out next August.
The one actor who’s like, dying for the role – Ian Somerhalder – is, unfortunately for him, not even being really considered.
So the search continues.
