'White Collar' actor Matt Bomer is apparently the favourite among bookies to be Charlie Hunnam's replacement in the film adaption of the best selling erotic novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The 'Sons of Anarchy' star had recently dropped out of the flick, citing a busy TV schedule as the reason behind his exit.
Bomer had always been favoured for the role of Christian Grey even before Hunnam was cast in the movie, Metro.co.uk reported.
And now that Hunnam has quit the flick, Bomer is expected to step in at 6/1, the report claimed.
But if Bomer turns down the role, odds are 7/1 that it will go to 'Inception' actor Cilian Murphy, or Ian Somerhalder with 8/1.
Moreover, 'True Blood' star Alexander Skarsgard has odds of 10/1 of getting the role, as does 'Gossip Girl' actor Chace Crawford.
