'There are rumours that you are being considered, of may be interested in playing that role,' Seacrest said during the chat.
Jake replied: 'That's super-flattering. I've not heard that, but if that' true then that's a nice thing, it's always nice to be considered.
'I mean, of course, of course I wouldn't pass up that role.'
Eeek.
Jake joins half of Hollywood in the line-up of possible contenders for the role of Christian Grey, including Robert Pattinson, Michael Fassbender, Eddie Redmayne and Christian Bale, to name but a few.
Last week it was rumoured Emma Watson might even take on the role of Anastasia Steele - but only if Ryan Gosling won the lead.
Her Vampire Diaries pal Nina Dobrev revealed; ‘@EmWatson told me that she'd be more interested in playing Ana in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie if Ryan Gosling were to be Christian. #mugglelove.’
