Charlie Hunnam...
Hello Friends!
After toying with our hearts for months casting for the long awaited Fifty Shades of Grey movie has been revealed.
It was starting to seem as if the speculation would never end, but finally the identities of Fifty Shades of Grey's Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey have been revealed.
Dakota Johnson will play Ana in the big screen adaptation of EL James's popular and controversial debut novel when it hits screens in the US on August 1, 2014.
Meanwhile, the author confirmed that Pacific Rim star Charlie Hunnam will take on the role of Christian, despite speculation that the likes of Ian Somerhalder and Alex Pettyfer would be joining the project.
Following today's (September 2) announcement, Digital Spy offers up ten facts you need to know about the stars.
1. Dakota Mayi Johnson was born on October 4, 1989 in Austin, Texas. She is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She won her first acting role in Crazy in Alabama in 1999, where she played the on-screen daughter of Griffith. She starred alongside her half-sister, Stella Banderas, and was directed by her stepfather, Antonio Banderas.
2. Charles Matthew Hunnam, known as Charlie Hunnam, is a British actor born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on April 10, 1980. He is nine and a half years Johnson's senior. He moved to the Lake District aged 12, after his parents divorced.
3. Johnson starred in The Social Network in 2010 and appeared as a one-night stand of Justin Timberlake's character Sean Parker. Director David Fincher described her as "wonderful" despite playing a "thankless role", and she appears in only one scene.
4. Hunnam appeared in a 1998 episode of CBBC's Byker Grove as Jason Chuckle. He had his first major role on Channel 4's hit series Queer as Folk, where he played gay teenager Nathan Maloney opposite Aidan Gillen and Craig Kelly.
5. Johnson was named Miss Golden Globe in 2006, an accolade previously held by her mother Melanie Griffith in 1975.
6. Hunnam married ex-wife Katharine Towne weeks after meeting her at an audition for Dawson's Creek. They were married for three years between 1999 and 2002 before divorcing. They had no children together. The 33-year-old has been in a relationship with jewelry designer Morgana McNelis since 2007.

8. Hunnam has enjoyed a more successful TV career than his new co-star, appearing in the lead role in FX's Sons of Anarchy since 2008. The show's sixth season premieres later this month in the US.
9. The Anastasia Steele actress has also worked as a fashion model and was signed to IMG Models in 2006. She fronted a campaign for MANGO Jeans in 2009 and graced the cover of Teen Vogue, aged 12, with other children of celebrities.
10. As well as acting, Hunnam also wrote the screenplay for Vlad, a film about the real-life inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. The film is to be produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and Summit Entertainment but is currently listed as a future project. In December 2009, Hunnam said he could envision someone like Christian Bale or Colin Farrell in the title role.
