"Daniel Radcliffe has jokingly discussed not being cast as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Charlie Hunnam was recently announced as playing Christian Grey in the adaptation of EL James&amp;#039;s erotic novel, while Dakota Johnson will portray Anastasia Steele.  Harry Potter star Radcliffe has now made light of a petition that was recently launched to have Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039;s leading roles recast. &amp;quot;I literally had someone say to me for the first time today, &amp;#039;The world&amp;#039;s in uproar you&amp;#039;re not playing Christian Grey&amp;#039;. And I&amp;#039;m like &amp;#039;If this is uproar, it&amp;#039;s inaudible&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Radcliffe quipped to MTV News. He then joked: &amp;quot;I think there was approximately no people wanting me to play Christian Grey, including myself. &amp;quot;I have to say, no offence to anybody, I&amp;#039;m sure they&amp;#039;re going to do a great job on the movie, but it&amp;#039;s not something that I think would have been a good next step for me.&amp;quot;  Hunnam recently said that he and Johnson developed an instant &amp;quot;chemistry&amp;quot; while auditioning for the movie. Fifty Shades of Grey will be released next August and is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. &amp;gt; Fifty Shades cast: Over 60% unhappy with Charlie Hunnam, Dakota Johnson &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039; audition script intense, about sperm, actress says Photo Gallery: &amp;#039;Fifty Shades of Grey&amp;#039; star Charlie Hunnam  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
