Can you imagine anyone other than Jamie Dornan playing Christian Grey?

Well, apparently Robert Pattinson was originally supposed to take on the role in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

But the Twilight star has revealed he's glad he didn’t accept the part because of the physical requirements.

The 32-year-old said: “I sometimes look at stuff and go, 'You have to work out too much. It is going to be exhausting'".

“I have tried. I don’t understand how people do it at all".

“I will go to the gym sometimes. I will have one week on and three months off".
