Takei spoofs '50 Shades of Grey'


George Takei. (WENN)


Actor George Takei has released a spoof reading of hit erotic novel 50 Shades Of Grey.

The openly gay Star Trek veteran has filmed a video titled 50 Shades of Takei which shows him reading aloud passages of E. L. James’ saucy novel.

In the YouTube.com clip, classical music plays in the background and the actor punctuates every bawdy phrase with ’Oh my!’, in reference to his catchphrase.

He says, “Many fans insisted I would enjoy a special connection to the book and that I ought to do an audio narration for it. I was intrigued, so I grabbed a copy to see what all the fuss was about.”
