50 Shades of Grey Movie Casting News UPDATE: Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev Perfect Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele? 'Vampire Diaries' Couple Turned Kinky Onscreen Lovers [POLL]
Although "Vampire Diaries" sweethearts Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev keep their off-screen romantic relationship relatively private, several fans agree that the young Hollywood couple make an adorable pair! Somerhalder continues to gain avid fan support to snag the steamy role of Christian Grey in E.L. James' erotic film adoption of "Fifty Shades of Grey." Do fans think his stunning model girlfriend would make a worthy Anastasia Steele? It's obvious that the duo maintains a stellar on and off-screen romantic chemistry... so why not expand and evolve that sexy, passionate energy by starring together as kinky lovers in "Fifty Shades" - do fans approve of the idea?
In a recent interview with Bravo host Andy Cohan on "Watch What Happens Live," 34-year-old Somerhalder addresses the ongoing "Fifty Shades" casting rumors... which only helps to instigate more Mr. Grey buzz. Check it out:
At one point in the interview, Cohan asks the former "Lost" hottie if he's currently dating anyone. Although it's basically assumed that he's been romantically linked with the beautiful "Vampire Diaries" starlet since 2011, the duo remains very hush-hush about their relationship, so Somerhalder answers with a simple, "I wouldn't say that." Several fans respect the couple's privacy, but also believe that they make an extremely cute pair...
BubbleMarshmellow: "I am absolutely obsessed with Nian, every day I have panic attacks just thinking about them breaking up."
Andy Guerra: "I will be sooo happy when he replies NO, I'M NOT SINGLE, I'M WITH NINA... just say it Ian we all love NIAN!!!"
Leighana Parmenter: "I'm actually a little obsessed with ian and nina together, honestly. ahaha."
Many fans have expressed concern over Somerhalder's serious romantic relationship impacting his decision to star as the charmingly seductive (and openly sexual) Christian Grey. In turn, several fans worry about what might happen to his off-screen love life with Dobrev if he were to take on the kinky and sexually demanding role...

But do "Fifty Shades" enthusiasts think that the duo would be open to working on the erotic film together... or is that just asking for too much? Both Somerhalder and Dobrev fit the parts of Grey and Steele physically - Somerhalder with his charming grin and deep, piercing eyes and Dobrev with her innocently alluring looks. It seems that they'd be compatible in regards to the personality/emotional aspects of the lead characters as well. Just check out this sexy scene from "Vampire Diaries" (starring Damon and Elena):
So how about it - are both Somerhalder and his leading lady Dobrev totally Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele-worthy?
