Blake to star in Fifty Shades of Grey?

“Gossip Girls” stars, Leighton Meester and Blake Lively have both been eyed for the lead roles in the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. While Blake has named the perfect actress for the part of Kate Kavanagh, Leighton Meester has been dubbed the perfect Anastasia Steele. Are these “Gossip Girls” really the most suitable to become the “Girls of the Grey brothers?”

Halfway through July and still no news of an official cast let alone an audition for “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Fans had been hoping for a cast since the announcement of Director Sam Taylor-Johnson joining the production team. Still, a cast has not been announced and fans are left to continue guessing who would be playing the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

Of course, web polls for the iconic parts in the film adaptation continue, the latest of which involves two stars from the series, “Gossip Girl.” The beloved series “Gossip Girl” may be over and done but the career of their lead stars namely Leighton Meester and Blake Lively are far from over.

Fans have eyed these beautiful ladies as potential candidates for the lead roles in the film adaptation of E.L. James best-selling erotica novel, “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Leighton Meester has been a long-time favourite for the protagonist, Anastasia Steele.

On the other hand, Blake Lively is a strong candidate for the part of Kate Kavanagh. Given their friendship off and onscreen, it’s not surprising that fans of “Gossip Girl” think that these two can play the part of Ana and Kate easily.

With Blake being blonde and Leighton a brunette, the physical characteristics between the actresses’ and their characters are right down to a pat.
