Why R Patz Was A Better Christian Grey?

Twitter is alive with the buzz that Robert Pattinson was the first choice for playing Christian Grey in the movie version of the popular book 'Fifty Shaded Of Grey'. In fact, the news that Robert Pattinson was author E L James first visualisation of the character Christian Grey has been tweeted and re-tweeted again and again.

The news was released along with the news that Charlie Hunnam will play the lead role in the movie 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'. Poor Charlie hardly got any chance to rejoice before, the fans started talking about how Robert Pattinson would have looked so much better as the cold and steely, Christian Grey. And we cannot help but agree.

Robert Pattinson | Christian Grey

Here are some of the reasons why Robert Pattinson would have been perfect as Christian Grey, the lead character of the soft-core novel 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'.

Twilight Is Over n The Teens Are Having Withdrawal Symptoms.

The Twilight series is over both in terms of books and movies. And the teenagers are badly put out by it. Seeing Robert Pattinson in the next best young adult series would give them anew lease of life!

Fifty Shades Was Twilight Fan Fiction

Actually, very few people know that the Fifty Shades series started as a sort of fan fiction for the Twilight series. E L James owes her popularity to the vampires and werewolves of the Twilight series to some extent.

Copper Hair

Christian Grey is supposed to have rough copper coloured hair and so does Robert Pattinson.

Steel Blue Eyes

Robert Pattinson has the coldest blue eyes like the deep blue ocean. And Anatasia Steele lost her heart somewhere in the depths of those steel blue eyes.

Hot n Horny

The new Dior Hommes perfume advertisement clearly shows that Robert Pattinson can be a 'wild' lover. He looks quite brutal in the ad film. Wouldn't we just love to see an elaborate version of those steamy visuals in a movie?

The Thin Tie

Christian Grey is always dressed in thin neckties and we have seen Robert Pattinson do the same several times. They ware actually a match made in heaven.

Well, things can't always go as we 'imagined'. So although we feel sorry for Charlie Hunnam, we would have to admit that Robert Pattinson was the best choice for playing Christian Grey on screen.
