Matt Bomer Can't Be Christian Grey. Because He's Gay.

I'm not just taking a stupid jab at Matt Bomer's acting abilities... I was being honest. He is very gay and ridiculously handsome. But even though he looks good, he isn't right for "50 Shades of Grey" the movie. Why? The point of the story is to make women all excited. And they can't get excited about an openly gay man for obvious reasons. So Bret Easton Ellis isn't sold on casting him:

"Okay I'll say it. Matt Bomer isn't right for Christian Grey because he is openly gay. He's great for other roles but this is too big a game."

"I think Matt Bomer is incredibly handsome and a good actor but I think he comes off totally gay in White Collar. And that is why no to CG."

"I am NOT discriminating Matt Bomer because of his sexuality. Fifty Shades of Grey demands an actor that is genuinely into women. Get it?!?"

He makes a good point. There would be too much psychological friction if women were expected to pine after a man they know that they can't have. So just cast C-Tates and be done with it, Bret.
