The best way to get over a guy is to get under a new one!

By now, you've heard the news that former Caleb hopeful, Charlie Hunnam, has been plucked from relative obscurity to play in the major leagues as billionaire dungeon master, Christian Grey.

I have to admit I was completely blindsided by the pick since he wasn't one of the contenders we'd heard about in the months since we discovered there would be a 50 Shades of Grey movie.

Within minutes my Facebook, Twitter accounts, along with my phone were bombarded with messages to bring me the news and ask how I felt about it. Well, I can't say I was too upset (though I did play along). After all, E.L. James has a movie franchise and I'm still trying to get on a book shelf at my local Books-A-Million. To say we are in different leagues is an understatement.

Still, it sucks to have your fantasy cast member seduced from the dark side into the grey area (terrible pun).


I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hunnam at the LoneStar Motorcycle Rally in Galveston, last year. I gifted him with copies of the Dark Duet and he gifted me with his warm body pressed against me while we took a photo. His exact words before we snapped the picture: "Can I hold you?"




My Reaction!
I wish Mr. Hunnam and the incomparable E.L. James the best. I hope the movie does what the books have done: Open the door to the rest of us. Captive in the Dark was in the works long before I knew of 50, but I know that without him, many readers may not have discovered Caleb.

However, I'm not the type to pine away after a man who isn't mine anymore. It was fun, Charlie, but I have to get over you.

Help me crown a new Caleb and win a free paperback copy of Epilogue (Book 3, The Dark Duet)!

Paul WalkerI find him sexy, but does he have the acting chops?

Ryan Gosling Sexy, talented, has done indie...I drooool
Zac EfronHe's older now and sexy as all hell Chris PineToo manly or is his face just boyish enough?
Drew Van AckerRelatively unknown and dripping sex appeal
Alex PettyferHe might be taken, but mmm!
Jensen Ackles He's DEFINITELY taken (I think) So, who's YOUR new Caleb?

message 19: by Sierra (new)

Sierra McBride I don`t think Paul Walker is a very good actor. Hott? Yes.
I pick Ryan Gosling. : )
He`s intense and sexy as hell.
His new movie 'The Place Beyond the Pines' is amazing.
I`m thinking we should start pining for him.
; )

Thanks for the chance to win a book too. I love your work ! Which means I HAVE to have in Paperback.

Yes, that's my problem with Paul. He's just never done anything that makes me think he's a diverse actor. Ryan on the other hand is a man of so many talents!

Gaby Oh my... :( I can't picture Caleb as any other but Hunnam. :( I honestly don't get the 50 Shades casting so far. :S But moving on, if I had to choose from your list, I'd go with Ryan Gosling: he has the looks, the attitude, the acting chops... I mean, in a second he can go from sweet boyfriend to pretty damn scary guy.

I think another great choice could be Alexander Skarsgård, he has the acting chops as well and has proved he can be dark, sexy, conflicted and also sweet if he wants...

Or I don't know, maybe even Chris Hemsworth.

Paul Walker is hot, but guess that's just it. The others, I don't know, I feel they lack the attitude. Tom Hardy is great in almot every sense but I don't think he truly fits Caleb's description... sadly, because I love him. :)

My ultimate choice: Skarsgård.

That movie is exactly what made me think of him. He could pull it off. Paul Walker would be great too.

Yeah he really looks just like Charlie. Good pick


message 35: by Bridget (new)

Bridget Alex Pettyfer - he has the look, and the toughness, which Caleb is all about. Soft and pretty just does not do it.


message 36: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Ryan Gosling has my heart but I have to say either Alex Pettyfer or DEFINITELY Drew van Acker! Omfg, I drool whenever I see him on pretty little liars! <3

Natasha Ryan Gosling!!!!! Loved him in Drive!!! Yummm!


message 42: by Steph (new)

Steph Paul Walker as Caleb!!!


message 43: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Okay, I love love the idea of Alexander Skarsgård as Caleb; however, if Paul Walker can pull off the acting skills, then I will go with that choice.


Nathi *Shut it and let me read* Ryan Gosling! Though Tom Hardy would be a good choice as well!!
For Caleb you should go with someone that CAN act! And those two actors aare ther perfect mix between good and bad guy with a mystery!
Ps: I don't think Paul can act and Caleb is a dense character.


message 45: by Jaimy (new)

Jaimy So, I took this blog post more as a challenge to find my perfect Caleb... Okay, and to look at extremely hot guys while doing that.

I came up with a small list:
- Jamie Dornan
- Kevin Zegers
- Caleb Lane(He's a model, but I don't care)

Anna http://w4walls.com/wp-content/uploads... Just look at that face - these eyes are killing me! Becoming horny just looking at this guy is totally normal - not kidding! It's like he can read my mind throught the screen of my laptop. The mix between a young man who wants to play and a man old enough to know what he wants and able to know what YOU want and gives you that thing you need, and in the same time too dangerous to play with - that dangerous you could never imagine - this is what Paul Walker looks like! :) I'd be wet... uuuhh... GLAD if he's MY CALEB! ♀♥♂


message 47: by Jade (last edited Sep 07, 2013 02:28PM) (new)

Jade I hope this works. I have never posted photos. CJ Roberts' books were my favorite books and this actor was the only one crossed my mind when I thought who could play Caleb. It's funny because I thought this a while back and when I saw the posting I couldn't wait to post his photos. I hope you like him CJ Roberts. I think he would be perfect to play him if the books become a movie one day :)

According to a source on a Turkish website, he know English very well. I think he would be great as Caleb because Caleb had a middle eastern accent and Kivanc is from Turkey which is considered both Europe and middle east depending on the person. Plus, he has the middle eastern quality to him which I think is extremely important for Caleb's character. That's what makes him feel dangerous. It's just my opinion. :)
