50 Shades of Gatsby

Jamie Dornan has officially taken over the mantle of Christian Grey from Charlie Hunnam, who dropped out of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie less than two weeks ago. Though the studio claimed there was a scheduling conflict, many wondered whether that Hunnam feared the pressure of fans' disdain--they even created a Change.org petition to re-cast him--or worried he'd be typecast as Robert Pattinson was after the "Twilight" movies. Fret not, Dornan you're not alone!
