Best known for playing Darryl Braxton on the Australian soap, Peacocke said that he tried out for the part of Christian Grey's brother Elliot, reported Digital Spy.
He even enlisted the help of another male actor for the rather "naughty" audition, though the role eventually went to Luke Grimes.
"I auditioned for Christian Grey's brother but I had to do this quite intimate scene and it was actually when I was in Budapest," Peacocke said.
"The only person I could do the scene with was another bloke and it was very awkward.
