‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Casts Jamie Dornan As Christian Grey

Irish actor Jamie Dornan has landed the part of Christian Grey in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” sources have confirmed.

Dornan was among a handful of young heartthrobs to read for the role late last week, an individual familiar with the project told TheWrap. His main competition appears to have been up-and-coming Australian actor Luke Bracey, who stars in Max Landis’ directorial debut “Me Him Her.”

Dornan is being hired to replace Charlie Hunnam, who dropped out of the hotly-anticipated project last week, citing a lack of preparation time due to his TV schedule for “Sons of Anarchy.”
