Ian Somerhalder’s (Damon Salvatore) name is getting some serious play when it comes to the adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Not only are fans clambering for The Vampire Diaries star to snag a role, but author Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho) acknowledged on Twitter that the “kinky” actor would go “all out” as Christian Grey.  

Ellis knows Ian personally because the actor had the role of Paul Denton in Rules of Attraction. It sounds like the blue-eyed hottie is itching to work with the author again. “@BretEastonEllis -Id so love to be Christian Grey w/you & Angelina Jolie. Ive only waited 10 years to do a movie w/u.Im grown up now-no worries,” he tweeted.

If you remember some of Paul Denton’s scenes, you can only imagine what a grown-up Mr. Smolderhotter will do with some of those sexy Christian Grey scenarios…
