“I felt like I had an interesting take on that character and felt like I could have done a good job of playing Christian Grey, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken it on in the first place,” Charlie told Life & Style at the time.
“When you put the time into something like that and a character comes alive in your mind, it’s heartbreaking not to be able to play him,” he added. “It was definitely kind of heartbreaking having to say goodbye to that character and not bring it to life.”

Charlie responded, “I’m not nearly as rich as I would have been.”
He was also asked if he changes the channel when the movie comes on TV. “I have not seen it, but that’s not by design. I want to see it. I’ve been waiting!” Charlie said.
