Fifty Shades of Grey has taken the world by storm as it dominates top seller lists in several countries. Fans can't get enough of the erotic series and the travel industry is catching on. Several hotels around the United States offer special Fifty Shades themed packages. Now, Fifty Shades of Grey tourist attractions are popping up. A UK tourism company is seeking a man to play the sexy Christian Grey for their latest ploy.

For the few who haven't read the series, Christian Grey is a wealthy, handsome businessman who happens to enjoy kinky activities in bed, or anywhere. He manages to attract the innocent student Anastasia Steele and he changes her world.

The Falstaff Experience or Tudor World is one of the best visitor attractions in the Shakespearean Stratford-Upon-Avon in south Warwickshire, England, about 22 miles south east of Birmingham.Tudor World is a museum with recreations of 16th century scenes. It has won the Godiva Award for Best Visitor Attraction in Warwickshire for several years.

The company also hosts haunted ghost tours, pub crawls and tours led by a man dressed as William Shakespeare around the streets of the town.  Now it seems that they're trying to draw in more tourists with a potential Fifty Shades of Grey event.

The company is seeking a man for its new 'An Evening with Mr. Grey event.' The character of Christian Grey is known to get a little raunchy, but the many for the job must act with 'decency and decorum.' The actor's role is to lead women around the town, entertain them, and make sure they find the best places to eat and drink around town.

"It will be a fun job, and we will of course expect the chosen candidate to act with decency and decorum," said Ben Pugh, events and engagement manager, as quoted by the BirminghamMail. "It is a light-hearted experience, that will allow the visitors to celebrate a good time, drawing on some of the themes from popular Fifty Shades trilogy."

"Humour and fun are at the core of all of our tours and this one will be no different. The real challenge will be to make the very serious character of Mr Grey appealing in a fun way." Pugh continued."We believe the ideal person for this role may have a background in acting, tour guiding or as a holiday rep."

The book series by E.L.James has caused controversy and broken records. It is so popular that it managed to outsell Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series.

Since the books are so popular, plans for a Fifty Shades of Grey movie are in the works. Producers still haven't picked an actor to play Christian Grey in the movie, but there are several sexy men that fans would like to see in the role, like Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer, Channing Tatum and more.

However a handsome man in England could be saying 'Laters, baby" as the next Christian Grey at the new Warwickshire tourist attraction while he thrills female guests.

Those who are interested in the role should send their CVs to info@falstaffexperience.co.uk.. The Falstaff Experience is hoping to start booking the event by Christmas time.
