NEW YORK, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- John Oliver showed off his audition tape for 50 Shades of Grey in a new Last Week Tonight video.

The movie has already been made, but Oliver jokes that he would like to be considered for some kind of sequel. He says he is very offended he was not chosen for the original film.

On top of doing a fake audition, Oliver offers a humorous "half-hearted" apology that he doesn't mean for his "incredibly accurate evaluation of the casting choice" when the movie makers chose to cast Jamie Dornan as the main character, Christian Grey. The character is supposed to be a perfect man. In response to this choice, he had launched a Twitter hashtag called #NotMyChristian.
