FACT: E L James based the character of Christian Grey on Edward from the Twilight series wrotten by Stephanie meyer. AND stephanie Meyer wrote the book with ONLY ONE ACTOR in mind –HENRY CAVILL!!! (by the time the twilight movie started being made henry looke to old to play the part of edward) its the circle of life-HENRY CAVILL IS Christian Grey!!!!!!

@Jeanie -never thought of it like that-your so right! Henry Cavill is Chritian grey!! Ms. james did write the character based on Edward and Edward was written by Stephanie meyers with henry cavill in mind-great point!
