"Fifty Shades of Grey" fan-favorites Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel star as the kinky Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in not one, but TWO new hot and steamy mock trailers. Move over, Ian Somerhalder and Emma Watson! (Oops - actually, it looks like the "Harry Potter" starlet has already taken herself out of the Miss Steele running... read more on that here). Anyway, do fans think E.L. James takes into consideration any of these popular Mr. Grey and Ana fan-picks?

Check out this mock "Fifty Shades" trailer posted by YouTube user ProxyBlueX on Feb. 25 entitled "Fifty Shades of Grey NEW TRAILER 2014, starring Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel":

It's only been a month and the sexy clip has already garnered over 263,200 views. Several fellow "Fifty Shades" fans seem to approve:

supErgirL5591: "Raising Ordinary to Extraordinary. Great Work. This is what you call perfection. Perfect choice of clips, editing and perfect casting. I love you Matt Bomer, you are our Christian Grey and whatever people says about you won't change the fact that we still love, adore and respect you. xx."

AndyJung8286: "wuauuu... honestly [this] is the most amazing fanmade that I've ever seen... thanks for sharing."

Iina Lammi: "Ultimately [well] done, soooo damn perfect, music was exactly right !!! Ohhh, i must save this to my 50 Shades folder! absolutely best of the best of the best that i have seen!!! Hi5 and Thank you!"

Tiffany Halcumb: "This HONESTLY looks like it could be a REAL trailer!!! GREAT JOB!!! =) Matt Bomer IS (the one and ONLY) Christain Grey and Alexis Bledel IS (the one and ONLY) Anastasia Steel!!! They are PERFECT for the roles!! I can't see anybody else (and don't want to) see anybody else play those roles but those two!!! They are PERFECT!!! I'm REALLY hoping that they get casted and play the main characters in the real movie!! What an AMAZING movie that will be, if they (which I'm REALLY hoping) end up in it!!!"

And here's another Bomer and Bledel inspired trailer, posted by CrazyLov3es on March 2:

And with over 37,000 views and counting, fans are again raving over the suggested cast:

Caio Sagae: "Perfect Mat Bomer!! He is the Christian Grey - the description in the book is perfect, Matt Bomer. He is talented, beautiful, sexy, sensual, and has a look that makes goddess[es] happy."

sanddies: "Really nice video - and I am such a fan of Alexis Bledel, no one else can play Anastasia but her! Matt would be great as Christian, but then again, so would Ian! And I love the song as well. Good job!  :)"

AdelaidE Crescioni-Army: "I have that Image of them together! GREAT, they look PERFECT..."

Taylor Fox Taylorlautnerdirectioner: "MATT BOMER AND ALEXIS BLEDEL, PLEASE!!!!"

Do Mstars readers agree?

UPDATE:

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev vs. Matt Bomer, Alexis Bledel: Sexiest Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele Couple? [POLL]

As Mstars originally reported, here are some reasons why Bomer and Bledel continue to gain avid Grey and Steele attention:

Matt Bomer hasn't had too many "huge" acting roles throughout his career, which could make him the perfect contender for Christian Grey. It's a known fact that "Fifty Shades" producers don't want a huge star associated with any specific film/television genre to take on the lead role. Bomer meets the part physically - he fits the tall, dark, and handsome description quite well and has a rather smooth and charming way about him. But just as Somerhalder, the only set-back would be his age... he's 35. Even so, Bomer continues to reign supreme in several "Fifty Shades" polls, amongst other fan-favorites including Ian Somerhalder, Stephen Amell, and Ryan Gosling.

Alexis Bledel's innocent and down-to-earth demeanor - along with her fresh complexion, brunette locks, and striking blue eyes -has many "Fifty Shades" fans pining for her to snag the role of Anastasia Steele. The only problem in casting Bledel would be her age - Steele is described as a recent, 22-year-old college graduate. Considering Bledel is already in her 30s may present a problem later on in the film trilogy. Even so, Bledel still glows youth and charisma, which could greatly be used to her benefit. In several recent Mstars polls, Bledel continues to win the majority of the vote, beating out several other actresses including Lucy Hale, Emma Watson, and Ashley Greene.
