Before he landed the role of Sawyer in Fifty Shades Freed, actor Brant Daugherty actually auditioned to play the role of Christian Grey!
The 32-year-old actor opened up to his fans during a Facebook Live chat on Saturday morning (March 10) and answered a question about his audition.
The fan asked if Brant auditioned to play Christian and he said, “Yes, I did. I auditioned for it when they were originally casting it. I was a little young, I think I was 26 at the time. They ended up hiring Charlie Hunnam and then he dropped out. And they brought me in to audition again and then they hired Jamie [Dornan]. And Jamie is perfect for the role and I ended up getting Sawyer, so it’s hard to be upset about something like that.”
