Thom Evans: 'I Auditioned for the Role of Christian Grey':

The Former Rugby player reveals that he tried out for the role of Christian Grey, which eventually went to Jamie Dornan.

“I actually went up for Jamie’s role of Christian Grey. The audition was pretty tame to be honest, but it was a great experience for me,” explains Thom. “It’s such a huge project and I’d be lying to say I wouldn’t have loved to have got the role. But I think Jamie is perfect for it and I can’t wait to see it.”

“Jamie Dornan is a role model. He’s flourishing in the acting world, and if I could do half as well as he has I’d be more than happy,” he says. “I would love to play that kind of character [a sadistic killer ] it would be just the kind of thing I’d love to do.I really like dark independent films. But right now, I would love the opportunity to take on any role,” he adds.
