Mark Wright says that he would love to play Christian Grey in the upcoming "50 Shades Of Grey" film. The former "The Only Way Is Essex" star believes that the raunchy role in the big-screen version of EL James' erotic novel could launch his Hollywood career.
"I'd love to play Christian, that would be such a great part for me," Wright told the Daily Star. "Everybody is loving that book right now."
Wright admits, however, that he does not possess any of the quirky traits that the book's character does, like his erotic fetishes. "I'm not into sadomasochism myself though, I'm more of a romantic. I swear I've never been whipped in my life."
The 25-year-old, who finished runner-up to Dougie Poynter in the last series of "I'm A Celebrity," said that he "wants to be a massive Hollywood actor" and that this role could be his ticket to that goal.
