The wait is over, Fifty Shades fans; Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam have been confirmed as your Ana Steele and Christian Grey.
Yeah yeah, we know. We don't really know who they are either - and it sure is a far cry from all the Emma Waton, Mila Kunis, Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum rumours spouted all over the place - but, according to EL James, this is VERY good news for the movie.
So there we have it. Dakota shall help to awaken Ana's inner goddess with a little help from a series of jiggle balls, whips and handcuffs, while Charlie will reveal his sadomasochist side through a series of spankings, sex toys and grey suits.
But... like, who are they?
DAKOTA JOHNSON
-
Starred as rival undercover cop Fugazy in 21 Jump Street
-
Had a one night stand with Justin Timberlake in The Social Network
CHARLIE HUNNAM
-
Starred alongside Idris Elba in Pacific Rim
-
Played Jax Teller in* Sons Of Anarchy*
The casting announcement has left fans divided, with some more than happy for Charlie and Dakota to sink their teeth into the role, others uncertain that they have the skill and panache to pull off the bonkbuster in style.
And even EL James is rumoured to be a little unsure about the choices for the lead, after Bret Easton Ellis took to Twitter to reveal that her first choice for the role of Christian was, in fact, Robert Pattinson. Which we suppose would have been nice, but RPattz is busy forging a serious non*-Twilight based career for himself at the moment. Starring as the lead in the movie adaptation of a book which began as Twilight *fanfiction (phew!) probably would NOT be the best way to achieve this.
Are you going to be watching the film when it hits cinemas? Do you think Dakota and Charlie have got the skillz to fit the billz? Let us know below or tweet us over at @CloserOnline now!
