Fifty Shades of Grey gets new leading man

Thursday, 12 July 2012 8:53 AM

As the popularity of Fifty Shades of Gray grows and women swoon to the book store, one company has given the storyline a plot twist.
MyBuilder, a vetting service for trades people, has given Fifty Shades of Grey a new leading man.
He is strong, handy and the ideal gentleman to complete all of your DIY projects.
His name is Rob Crouch and he plays Dave Grey the painter in this hilarious parody of the book.
Iain Aitch and Peter Miranda created the video for MyBuilder.

As you can see much like the style of Fifty Shades of Grey this film involves moments of sexual tension and an arty construction of the main character Dave.
But we think it is an excellent merge of humour and home improvement.
Kudos to the team at MyBuilder, which has its own page on our website.
As you watch the film take some advice from the production team…”Ladies, contain yourselves”.
