Now that the Emma Watson "50 Shades of Grey" rumors have past, it's time to look forward. To save ourselves some anguish, let's forget Anastasia Steele for now and turn our attention toward the Christian Grey role. Hollywood stars such as Ian Somerhalder and Ryan Gosling have been thrown into the discussion, but it now looks like actor model Jessie Pavelka has climbed his way to the top as our new fan favorite.

Pavelka, 30, has appeared on "12 Men of Christmas" and NBC's "Friday Night Lights." Although he's new to the actor scene, he's slowly making his way into the Hollywood limelight. A role as Christian Grey in the upcoming "50 Shades of Grey" film certainly wouldn't hurt.

Pavelka is a fresh contender for the Christian role, but fans have already approved him as a potential candidate on Twitter. Below are a few examples of what some fans are saying.

50ShadesJessi: "Jessie Pavelka is the only choice for Christian Grey can I get a RT #TeamJessiePavelka"

Loopylynn02: "@E_L_James . have you found a Christian Grey yet . I think that Jessie pavelka wud make a greay Christian."

Beckylundy1: "#JessiePavelka for Christian Grey ALL the way!!!"

BookWhorePage: "Morning.. Sharing the Jessie Pavelka love. Her is my Christian Grey."

CelticKim1: "Let's not forget #TeamJessiePavelka our true mission is to get our Jessie Pavelka as Fifty n #FSoG. Movie!"

CelticKim1: "World meet Jessi Pavelka aka Christian Grey all 50 shades of him!!"

"I think it's great and I'm extremely flattered. It's amazing how social media has changed the game in T.V. and Film," Pavelka said in response to his recent praise. "If this would have happened a few years back, I don't think that my name would be in the mix at all. I am lucky to be involved in the beginning stages of it all."

As always, there is no official news concerning who will play Christian Grey or Anastasia Steele in the upcoming "50 Shades of Grey" film, but let's keep dreaming. Dreaming, hoping and wishing. It's all restless "50 Shades" fans can do for now.
