Somerhalder Would Take Grey Role If Asked

"The Vampire Diaries'" star and former Lost islander Ian Somerhalder is keen on playing the lead in the film adaptation of the erotic E L James book Fifty Shades of Grey.


What began as a posting on a fan-fiction website as a tribute to author Stephenie Meyer 's Twilight books soon became a word-of-mouth eBook hit that won a major reprint deal with Random House.

The sexually-explicit story follows 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and 22-year-old virgin college student Anastasia Steele, who develop a relationship steeped in bondage, S&M, domination and submission. The novel is the first in a planned trilogy

In a recent radio interview with Ryan Seacrest--via Digital Spy the host claimed he heard "rumblings" that Somerhalder could play the role.

The actor, who has been recently reading the book, admits he'd love to play the role - "I absolutely would be up for that... It could be amazing. It could be very, very amazing… That would be a pretty incredible thing and hopefully that could pan out".

Casting is still some time off.
