"Charlie Hunnam has bowed out of starring in the hotly-anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey movie a mere five weeks after he was announced as Christian Grey. The Sons of Anarchy star reportedly struggled to come to terms with the overwhelming fan reaction to his casting, but as recently as this week the British-born actor spoke of his desire to take the role seriously.  Hunnam&amp;#039;s apprehension was understandable. Even with the talented Sam Taylor-Johnson directing and impressive up-and-comer Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a Fifty Shades of Grey movie still has the potential to be a career killer if the filmmakers fumble. With shooting on Fifthy Shades due to begin next month (for an August 2014 release date), the search is back on to find an actor to fill the role of the EL James&amp;#039;s BDSM-loving business magnate.     The casting race for Grey was heavily documented, with the likes of Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder, Alex Pettyfer, Garrett Hedlund, Christian Cooke and Dominic Cooper all linked to the role. Digital Spy wants to know who you want to see play Christian Grey.
