Who Will Play Anastasia Steele

We’re all still waiting to see who will be cast as Anastasia Steele, the young student who was seduced by the jaw-dropping Christian Grey in the upcoming Fifty Shades movie. Anastasia has been the subject of much speculation and those of us who have read the trilogy have built up an imaginative picture of her in our minds. She’s child-like in her demeanour. Innocent with big blue eyes and chews her bottom lip. Yet underneath this child-like innocence is her inner goddess who chips away at the outer shell and reveals a woman who is so addicted to Christian, she cannot bear to be without him. So who will play her?

Can Emma ever shake off Hermione from Harry Potter?  Anastasia Steele is a character who is young, a student and wide-eyed with innocence. Emma has the skills to pull this off as acclaimed actresses who we have watched grow up into a stunning young woman on screen and off. She is a hot favourite, despite her denials of being cast for the role.


Lily has the looks which can transform the student into the beautiful young Anastasia which Christian creates in our minds. Lily has that natural beauty which suits dressed-down or dressed-up and she will set pulses racing. It is not only Christian Grey who is stimulated by child-like qualities in a woman, many men are and Lily Collins has that innocent look which is ice-cool yet possess the innocence which could be transformed into a sex goddess.


The former Gilmore Girls actress, Alexis is another favourite who has grown-up on screens across the US and the UK. She possesses the qualities that Anastasia has. Luscious locks with wide blue eyes, Alexis is in the running for the role.  We think Alexis is perfect for the role without a doubt.


Amanda again has the innocence which is glaringly apparent in Anastasia. The Mamma Mia star has youth and beauty and this could be the role which makes her. After roles which have been gentle and based on teenage loves, it might be time for Amanda to show us what she’s made of in terms of a more adult role. What Amanda should be able to do is glide the young Anastasia into the world of which she’s so afraid to step into yet is not against the guidance of Christian.


Ashley has made no bones about the role of Anastasia. She’s overtly stated she’d love to be awarded the role. She has the looks, the blue eyes and she’s an acclaimed actress. A strong contender, she will pull of Anastasia’s appealing lack of unawareness of how gorgeous she really is. Christian turns Anastasia into her inner goddess and Ashley has Anastasia written all over her face.
The speculation rages on who is to play Anastasia and all we can do, is wait for the announcement. With the movie’s release date announced as August 1st 2014, casting now has some form of urgency; unless of course, it is going to be kept a secret until release?
