But author E.L James says don't get too excited. Nothing has been set in stone and she won't even confirm if the hearsay is true.

She told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show, "As usual, it's all been misreported."

She explains what really took place.

"What happened is that his local paper ... reported on my husband being the inspiration for Christian Grey. Underneath it, they put a picture of Ryan Gosling as well. So, that's how that rumor came about."

Fans are dying to see her sexual and tantalizing characters who engage in S & M on screen soon, but she refuses to comment on who she thinks should be cast.

"It gets messy," she said. "You might end up with somebody else other than who I suggested," she told E!,

James still can't believe her new found fame.

"All this has been a huge shock to me," she said. "When I got the first email asking about the film rights, I nearly fell off my chair; it was a huge Hollywood agency!"
