Frontrunner? British actor Alex Pettyfer has filmed sex scenes for Gus Van Sant's Fifty Shades Of Grey testIt's the film role that all of Hollywood is talking about, with everyone from Ryan Gosling to Zac Efron rumoured to be in the running.
But it seems that British actor Alex Pettyfer could currently be the frontrunner to play the sought after part of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of E.L James's best-selling erotic novel.
The 23-year-old has filmed a sex scene as the character for a Fifty Shades Of Grey test film directed by acclaimed director Gus Van Sant, in a bid to impress producers.
Got the credentials? Alex, pictured in Magic Mike with Matthew McConaughey, has shot steamy scenes with an undisclosed actressWhile a number of high profile writers, directors and actors have been linked to the eagerly-anticipated big screen adaptation, it seems that some are being more proactive than others.
And American director Van Sant, who was behind Good Will Hunting and Milk, has chosen the rising Brit star to step into the coveted shoes of Mr Grey for his test.
After the job: US director Gus Van Sant has shot test films to show producers in a bid to secure the directing job on the film adaptation of the erotic trilogyAccording to The Wrap, Alex and an undisclosed actress shot a scene in which the story's lead female character Anastasia Steele loses her virginity to the enigmatic protagonist.
Using the Magic Mike actor for the test doesn't mean that Van Sant would necessarily use him should he secure the film, but the rising star would see his profile skyrocket should he bag the role.
The phenomenal popularity of the trilogy of books, which have sold more than 70 million copies worldwide, means that the film adaptations are certain to be a hit at the box office.
