'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Top 6 Real-Life Couples to Play Christian Grey and Ana Steele Include Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel [POLL]

Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are probably the hottest, kinkiest couple out there, and fans want to know who will play them to perfection in the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.

Books & Review decided to put together a poll of real-life couples who could play the 21-year-old innocent Ana who gets involved with a BDSM-crazed sexy billionaire, 27-year-old Christian.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Of course this pair has to be on the list because they are cute newlyweds.

Reports are saying that the two got married Oct. 19 (Friday) at the Borgo Egnazia resort in the southern Italian city of Fasano in front of famous friends and family.

"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement Friday.

Timberlake, 31, and Biel, 30, kept the wedding a secret. According to People magazine they were even vague to guests, keeping the location in southern Italy a complete secret until the last minute, but PEOPLE will have all the details of the wedding, including exclusive photos, in next week's issue out Wednesday.

There is a Facebook page, "Justin Timberlake to be Christian Grey." The description reads, "I love this man's music and acting, I think he would make a fab Mr. Grey."

Timberlake and Biel (or Mrs. Timberlake) are featured on TheStirCafeMom's list of "6 Celebrity Couples Who Would Make '50 Shades of Grey' Movie Even Hotter."

Timberlake is also featured on PolicyMic's "Ryan Gosling and 20 Other Guys Who Could Be Christian Grey." The reason why he's on the list: "He can sing, he can dance, and he can act! The man who brought sexy back also looks great in a suit."

Timberlake is pinned as Christian Grey on a Pinterest page, the author saying he would be "amazing" for the role.

Channing Tatum and Wife Jenna

Back in July, Tatum spoke on being Christian Grey in the popular movie.

According to Daily Mail, Tatum said he would play with a condition attached.

When asked if he would play the protagonist in the adaptation in an interview with U.K. Glamour Magazine, the 32-year-old "Magic Mike" actor responded: '1) Yes. 2) I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana. She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana!'

He then said, "She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana!"

Tatum's wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, is a professional dancer and actress who he met on the set of 2006 movie "Step Up."

Tatum and his wife was also featured on TheStir's top 6 celebrity couples. Saying of Tatum, the website said, "He's certainly got the right look." They added, "Channing & Jenna may be exactly what this film needs to really keep things super spicy to turn on viewers."

About a husband and wife playing the two lead roles, "At first I kind of rolled my eyes when I thought about a husband and wife steaming things up on-screen as Christian and Ana, but after thinking about it a little more -- there's definitely the potential that a real life couple would make the (ahem) love scenes much sexier and more realistic."

PolicyMic said, "Tatum has been thrust into the spotlight for his performance in Magic Mike as an exotic male dancer, which some pundits are saying will make him the ideal actor to play in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, which is full of steamy sex scenes."

One B&R commenter said, "Channing all the way." Another said, "HE DEF. SHOULD GET THAT ROLL! HE WOULD BE PERFECT!!!" One more said, "Channing & Jenna may be exactly what this film needs to really keep things super spicy to turn on viewers."

Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult

This couple recently made headlines for the roles of Christian and Ana.

"The Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence has been named as a possibility for the innocent Ana Steele. Her name has been one of the early ones to land on the list of stars for the virginal Ana in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.

Although she plays the tough Katniss Everdeen in the "Hunger Games" series, she could pull of the sexy roles.

Yahoo said, "This starlet is no stranger to sexy roles but she also knows how to tone it down, which is exactly what she did in 'The Hunger Games.'"

FiftyShadesfilm.com also said the 22-year-old star could be Ana.

"We're looking forward to someone submitting (pun intended) their name for consideration of the pivotal role of Ana," Lisa Parker from Fiftyshadesfilm.com told MTV News, according to FOXNews. "Maybe an 'it' girl like Jennifer Lawrence; a probable next 'it' girl like Allison Williams; or someone wanting to take a career leap like Felicity Jones, Emilia Clarke or Katie Cassidy."

A poll by FOX reveals Lawrence in fourth place (there are 10 options) behind fan favorites Amanda Seyfried, Alexis Bledel, and Kristen Stewart.

Lawrence also came in fourth place in a poll by WetPaint behind Candice Accola, Lucy Hale, and Dianna Agron.

One fan said, "I think jennifer would be perfect for it she could just die her hair and wear blue contacts." Another said, "I voted Jennifer Lawrence but I like Amanda Seyfried as Ana, Jennifer Lawrence should play Kate!" Another said, "Jennifer Lawrence is super hot and a super good actress!!!! Definitely Jennifer Lawrence!!!" Another simply said, "She's the best!"

According to WhatCulture, Hoult, also 22-years-old, was on the list of "10 Actors Who Must Play Christian Grey." He is best known for playing Marcus Brewer in "About a Boy."

"He's already played a psychopathic anti-hero in the original series of Skins. In the Tom Ford advertising campaigns Nicholas looks quite dapper in a suit. Perhaps he could even re-create some real life chemistry if girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence snags the part of Anna," WhatCulture wrote.

Hoult might also be too young for the role. WhatCulture said he wouldn't be cast as Christian because of his American accent, and it would need a little work.

GatherEntertainment points out Hoult's acting in the raunchy TV series "Skins" and playing Beast in "X-Men: First Class." Further, the website said Lawrence and Hoult "might just be the most talented couple in Hollywood (sorry, Robsten)."

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

This "Twilight" couple has been a part of casting rumors ever since forever. They make it on the list because video and new photos show that the "Robsten" couple are back together after strains in their relationship.

E.L. James' characters Ana and Christian were based off Bella and Edward in the "Twilight" films, so it's natural that fans want Stewart and Pattinson to play the crucial roles.

Stewart, 22, talked to author Talia Soghomonian about the possibility of starring in "Fifty Shades of Grey."

"First of all, they haven't called me or anything, they haven't offered me the part. It's spicy. Yeah. I don't know, I haven't read the whole thing and it's also a highly coveted part everyone is trying to. But I'm pretty daring," Stewart said, according to HollywoodLife.

Stewart was the first to wanting the role of Ana. She was, in fact, the inspiration behind Anastasia.

In May, she said she would be up for the role no matter what type it is.

"But I'm dying to make another movie with Rob," Stewart in an interview with Celebuzz. "I think we're a good team, and whatever it is needs to be so ridiculously ambitious ... but I'd love to work with him again."

Later in May, she then admitted that she was reading the book.

Pattinson, 26, recently did an interview and talked "Fifty Shades of Grey," written by bestselling author E.L. James.

He revealed that he's always played weird characters (many will argue that vampires aren't weird), so the part of Christian Grey might not be far from weird.

"I mean every part I played is always kind of like sort of weird. But I don't know, I find kind of random things, the movie I'm doing next, is a real guy, an interrogator and he's not particularly weird or anything, he's just like, he's kind of, well he's a little weird," the "Cosmopolis" actor said.

Christian, the 27-year-old sexy BDSM-crazed billionaire, goes through a lot of obstacles and lives in a world that most of us have probably never seen or heard of before. So it might be weird anyway. Who better to play a part like this than an actor who plays weird parts?

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev

Somerhalder is an extreme fan favorite for Christian. Dobrev's name has been tossed around a few times in the list of stars to play Ana. The main thing is that they are a real-life couple, not just on-screen.

Somerhalder, 33, recently spoke to E! News at the 2012 Environmental Media Awards about the sexual character and audition process, according to the Examiner.

"I think that's going to be a very interesting story to tell...It seems like whoever plays that role, it will be very interesting rehearsal time...the audition process is gonna be interesting," Somerhalder said.

When he is asked who his ideal Anastasia would be, Somerhalder does not give a solid answer. "My Anastasia? I don't know...there are too many [good Hollywood actors] to name."

Somerhalder has always been a fan favorite to play Christian Grey because of his acting abilities and "TVD" character Damon.

During Comic-Con 2012 San Diego, the couple stopped by the 'Extra at Comic-Con' stage to talk about the rumors that they might star in the movie.

Somerhalder said, "I can't imagine Universal doing that, but that would be very interesting."

Dobrev, 23, added, "I think if people saw us in '50 Shades of Grey' they'd just see Elena and Damon." She plays Elena on "The Vampire Diaries and Somerhalder plays Damon.

According to Wet Paint, back in May she told MTV, "I think it's best for any of the actors on The Vampire Diaries to kind of do their own things and create new characters." Otherwise, "fans will... see me as Elena and they'll see him as Damon if we do a film together."

James might of hinted that these "The Vampire Diaries" stars might have a chance to play the roles.

E! Online reported that in a recent Ryan Seacrest interview James said that she was a big "TVD" fan, which is a good sign for Somerhalder fans.

In a recent B&R poll, Somerhalder is the hottest vampire contender for Christian Grey.

One commenter said, "That would be the best cast ever if they choose Ian and Nina together :D"

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

This couple may be too young to play the roles of Christian and Ana, but it's only right that we give them a fair chance of competing in this poll

Bieber wasn't always a fan favorite. However, he recently did an interview with British talk show host Jonathan Ross, where he was asked about playing Christian.

After Ross joked that the risque novel had encouraged Bieber's army of devoted fans, the singer let slip, "They actually want me to be in the movie!" Bieber didn't elaborate much more on the talks, or reveal whether or not he would take on the role of businessman Christan Grey."

The "As You As You Love Me" singer also revealed to the presenter that he has banned himself from discussing his love life. He added, "At the end of the day I'm always going to be their Justin, regardless of who I'm dating."

''I like to make sure my fans are comfortable."

Bieber further explained that he wants to be respected for his musical abilities and not for his handsome looks, saying, ''I love being young and being in the spotlight but I want to be taken seriously as an artist, be known for my music and not necessarily known for a flick of my hair.''

One Books & Review commenter said, "I can see Bieber playing the part of Christian Grey AS the young 15 year old boy with Mrs. Robinson."

Former "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress Gomez has been linked to the role numerous times.

Fashion.ie recently put the former Disney star on their list of Hollywood contenders who could play Anastasia Steele.

Gomez gets "grown and sexy" in her upcoming role in "Spring Breakers," which releases in theaters March 3, 2013.

"People will be a little shocked, I think," Gomez recently told MTV News. "I'm a little nervous about it but honestly it's a right step for me, I'm really proud of it."

Despite the buzz around Ana, the 20-year-old star said that the role of Anastasia is a little too racy for her.

"I know I'm taking risks but I don't think I could do that," she told MTV News. "That would be a little too much for me."

Gomez became familiar with the hot and heavy storyline after being approached to star in Funny or Die's "Fifty Shades of Blue."

"When they told me about the skit, I didn't know what ['Fifty Shades of Grey'] was about, so I started to read it and was like, oh, this is spicy, I thought it was good, it was intriguing," she said. "The skit was really funny."
