With the casting process still a bit fuzzy, new names seem to keep popping up on the daily as prospective suitors for the role of Anastasia Steele in 50 Shades of Grey. However, one actress that would surely take precedence over most others is Percy Jackson's Alexandra Daddario.

The 27-year-old had interviewed with Entertainment Weekly back in January and addressed the 50 Shades chatter that surrounded her as a potential Ana.

"I've heard [the rumors]. I don't believe they've started casting. I haven't heard anything about it. But I'm honored that people are throwing my name out for it. I'm honored that people would think of me for any big role that is talked about a lot. But, yes, I should read the books. I've heard that they are rather risqué..."

Interesting to note, Daddario has done adult-themed TV work on NBC's Parenthood and USA's White Collar, amongst other roles, but would surely have to get down and dirty like never before for the Steele role

A previous comment written by a Books & Review loyalist of 50 Shades acknowledged the striking resemblance between Daddario and the Steele character.

"I think Alexandra Daddario is the perfect Ana. She has the long brown hair, alabaster skin, blue eyes too big for her face & pouty lips. She has an innocent beauty requiring no makeup & can be played up sexy when need be."

Other serious candidates for the role of the shy college alumni include former Gilmore Girls standout Alexis Bledel, Allison Williams of Girls, and Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke.

Daddario can be seen below doing an interview at April's 2013 MTV Music Awards red carpet.
