'Fifty Shades of Grey': Angelina Jolie Wants to Play Anastasia?
Angelina Jolie is willing to shed her Hollywood bad girl image and play the young and innocent type in the upcoming film “Fifty Shades of Grey,” according to recent rumors.
Jolie heard about the coveted role while on location in the U.K. where she is filming “Maleficent.”
A source told the Daily Record, “All the girls on set were talking about it and chatted about how it's being made into a film. Angelina went out and bought herself a copy, thinking she'd love a part in the hot topic on everyone's lips at the moment. She knows it's bound to be a huge hit.”
