Be still our beating hearts. Stephen Amell might be playing Christian Grey.
The Arrowstar revealed Thursday that he had meet with the producers of the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey film to discuss starring in the erotic drama.
"I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," Amell said in a Facebook video. "That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."

Returning Spring Shows: Where we left off

If Amell were to join Fifty Shades, it would be his second major role playing a dark, sexy billionaire. But the actor isn't worried about being typecast."You know what you have to do to get typecast? You have to work. A bunch. And working as an actor is the most important thing. I think one of the highest honors you can have as an actor is to be typecast because that means you've done a significant amount of work in one specific realm," Amell said in another video.Would you like to see Amell as Christian Grey?
