'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Lauren Watson Wants Ana Steele Role With Matt Bomer, Jessie Pavelka as Christian Grey

More actresses and actors are speaking up about the two lead roles, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.

Many of them have been big celebrity names, but this time it's not a well-known star. Her name is Lauren Watson.

The Examiner recently did an exclusive interview with Watson about the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie. She's off to a good start.

"Yes, I have read the books! I didn't know anything about them and one of my friends said GO! NOW! Get the books and read them today!' I couldn't argue with that! I got them and read them all within the week! I was hooked," Watson said.

When asked about her fans and if she would consider the role of Ana, she said, "I've heard! The fans have been absolutely amazing! It is definitely a role I would consider."

She already has who she would possibly work with if she was offered the role of Ana Steele.

"I'm a big fan of Chace Crawford. He could play anyone and it would work for me! I really like Matt Bomer's look and Jessie Pavelka is another top candidate for me when I think of Christians physical image. I don't think I can pick just one actor!! Whoever ends up with the job as casting director has some tough decisions ahead!"

Her IMDb page doesn't give away much information about the unknown actress. She played Sweater Set Girl (as Lauren Dowe) in "This Means War." She also played Themis in "13 Witches."

In August, Crushable.com considered Watson a candidate for Ana Steele. On "Fifty Shades Obsessed's" Facebook page, the page said, "Could this be our Ana? Her name is Lauren Watson. She is not a 'big name' actress, but has those too big for her face blue eyes. What do you think?"

The post got 7,829 likes and 73 shares.

There is also a Facebook page that is named "Lauren Watson for Fifty Shades of Grey," advocating for her to get the part.

Watson seems like a good candidate for Ana Steele. She has those "blue eyes too big for her face." She would look good with either three actors she's mentioned. Bomer and Pavelka are huge fan favorites for the role of Christian.

The young actress would be happy to know that Pavelka actually wants to play Christian Grey.

In a new interview with TheDailyQuirk, when asked if he would take on the much coveted role of Christian, Pavelka, 29, said, "I am. It's reminded to me everyday ;)."

When asked how he feels about his fans thinking he is the perfect Christian Grey, he said, "I think it's great and I'm extremely flattered.  It's amazing how social media has changed the game in T.V. and Film.  If this would have happened a few years back, I don't think that my name would be in the mix at all.  I am lucky to be involved in the beginning stages of it all."

He joked about his dream role, "Christian Grey of course! Jk, I can't say that because I haven't seen the script.  The artist in me wants a role that will challenge me (not that CG wouldn't).  I like a character that goes on a journey."

Bomer, 34, is one of the biggest fan favorites to play Christian. Many fans are more fired up than ever after screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis made comments that Bomer is too gay to play the role, and now fans want him to be the sexy billionaire more than ever.

Even Bomer's TV series showed support for the actor.

@WhiteCollarUSA recently tweeted in August, "We think he'd be great. RT @buzzfocus: Would Matt Bomer playing Christian Grey in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' be ludicrous?"

One Bomer fan said, "Prepare yourselves for a rant on why Bret Easton Ellis is an idiot for his remarks about Matt Bomer being cast as Christian Grey."

Actress Odette Annable tweeted, "I have 100% zero issues if they decide to cast Matt Bomer as Christian Grey. I think it's a good choice. That's all. #fiftyshades."

The "Fifty Shades" trilogy ("Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker," "Fifty Shades Freed"), written by James, tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey, and both explore Christian's world of BDSM while trying to understand their complicated relationship.
