The Henry Cavill Facebook Fanpage has over 23K followers and is growing daily. Although the site is not dedicated to the actor being cast as Christian Grey, the founders believe he would be a good choice. When asked about Henry being considered for the role they gave the following statement.
"Henry Cavill, above all other fan casted actors for this role, has the classic, timeless handsomeness to truly embody and manifest the enormity of impact that happens for women when in Christian's presence in E.L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey". As Charles Brandon in Showtime's "The Tudors", Henry stole the screen as the Casanova Playboy. As Theseus in "Immortals (2011)" and as Will Shaw in "The Cold Light of Day (2012)" Henry proved he can play the tortured soul. Having seen Henry in person on three occasions, I can attest that the charisma Henry emanates is truly palpable. Everyone here at HCF believes that Henry would nail this role hands down if he is offered the opportunity and accepts it. Our fingers are crossed!"
Fans of the "Fifty Shades" trilogy are now picturing Cavill in the infamous playroom jeans, his popularity even surpassing Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer. Those who have long supported the above mentioned actors can see the appeal of Henry Cavill, especially after viewing online videos, his Dunhill Fragrance ad being the most popular. One "on the fence" fan tweeted about the ad, "trying to stay neutral who should play #Christian, many A+ actors, however this video screams Christian!"
Casting the "Fifty Shades" film is going to take time and as of yet there is not even a completed script or Director attached to the project. Fans are keeping up hope that Henry Cavill is being considered, especially amidst rumors of author E L James using him as inspiration for the character. There has also been some speculation that Producer Dana Brunetti's meeting with CAA last week was regarding Henry Cavill. The actor himself has spoke about the role saying, "whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made, it would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel." He also sparked casting rumors when he showed up to the Critic's Choice Awards with newly highlighted copper locks, reminiscent of Christian Grey's description in the novel.
