(EW.com) -- My relationship with the who-should-play-Christian-Grey timeline goes as follows: I wanted Matt Bomer the entire time I read the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy ... right up until Charlie Hunnam was announced. Then I inexplicably got very excited for Hunnam's portrayal of the troubled billionaire. And now that Hunnam has dropped out of the film, I'm left feeling 50 shades of empty and confused. Do I want Matt Bomer again? Or do I want someone like Hunnam, with a lesser-known face (or one that's usually covered in hair)? Before I could make sense of any of it, I read that Oliver Stone told The Wall Street Journal that Leonardo DiCaprio was his choice for the coveted role. At first, my thoughts reflected my feelings about Ben Affleck being Batman: No, thank you. But after some soul searching and many Google Images, I can't help but think DiCaprio would make one intriguing Christian Grey. It's definitely a film I would see, and here's why it would work:
@highlight
"Fifty Shades" still needs a new Christian Grey
@highlight
Why nor Leonardo DiCaprio he writer asks?
@highlight
Oliver Stone has said the actor is his choice for the role
I'll be the first to admit that his heartthrob phase is behind him, but at the end of the day, @placeholder is still quite pretty.
