Meet the new Christian Grey.  Jamie Dornan replaces Charlie Hunnam, who pulled out of the '50 Shades of Grey' movie. The Irish actor/Calvin Klein model may be unknown, but that won't last once the films, based on EL James books, hits the big screen.

I've never heard of or seen Dornan until now, he's more what I envisioned when reading the books. He seems like a much better fit than Charlie Hunnam, beard or now beard.  Although I do like the stubble look.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Dornan was cast with little time to spare.  Filming is set to begin November 1st to meet the August 1st 2014 release date.
