Our Exclusive Interview With Lauren Watson.

Many fans of Fifty Shades Of Grey suggested Lauren Watson as Ana Steele. Here is our exclusive interview with her .
Thank you Lauren,
admins.
1.Do you want to play Ana's role? If yes ,why? If the opportunity to play Ana came my way, I would love to portray her. She is just a normal girl who unwillingly gets herself into a situation that completely and extremely changes her life. I think it would be a great role to play.
2.Have you read the books and If yes what did you think of them? I have read the books. It didn't take me very long to get through them, I couldn't put them down! I'm a sucker for a love story and Ana and Christian certainly have a unique one!!
3.Which was your favorite scene in the books that you would like to see come to life? I like the initial scenes where Ana and Christian first meet and when he comes to see her at her workplace. I like when Ana goes on the jet ski without telling Christian. I want to see the scenes where Christian opens up to Ana about his past. And... No, there are just too many to list haha I just want to see it all .
4.Do you like fans' interest about you as Ana Steele? The fans have been absolutely amazing. The fans who want me as Ana Steele are just incredible! I interact with everyone as much as I can on Facebook/Twitter. I love talking with them, chatting about the books/movie, asking and answering questions. It's amazing. I love it. They blow my mind and I am so grateful to them because they are doing so much for me.
5.Who would be your perfect Christian Grey? I can't choose!! There are so many good actors who could fill Christian's shoes; as there are actresses who could play Ana! But I really like Chace Crawford, Jessie Pavelka and Matt Bomer.
6.Which book of the trilogy is your favorite? Fifty Shades Darker for sure!
