Howard Hughes, Hugh Heffner.... so is Leo going to play in bio-pics of everyone with the letters "hugh" in their name?

I don't know Ratner might have the right amount of sleaze to make this work...you know 100% sleaze.

Doesn't Playboy have a reputation for not being sleazy?

I think DiCaprio would be a sweet Hefner.

This depends, of course, on your definition of "sleeze."

In addition to playing young Hef, will Leo play modern-day, lecherous Hugh Hefner, with lots of makeup and CGI?

The only reason to watch this movie would be to study his methods for getting all that tail.

Note to self: Bring notepad and paper when watching this movie.

It doesn't really matter because everything Ratner touches turns to poo.

Leo has proven himself as a great actor, I believe theres no doubt that he would be perfect for the part!

let's get two things straight here 1. this movie is more than likely going to be awful and 2. there isn't a straight guy in the world who wouldn't want to play Hugh Hefner. Leo may be a great actor but he's also human.

as long as Pam anderson in it, i'll see it pauly shore as hefner. To be fair though, hefner is lucky one of the greatest actors of our time in Leo is going to portray him and make him look better than he is. Any man willing to do on show where Anna nicole once embrassed is unforgivable. Have you ever seen the girls next door on E! it really proves Hef should settled a long time ago with one of his many girlfriend before being reduced to marry that lunatic and about an 8 playmate Holly. On the show, Hef doesn't seem to care that the man once deemed one of the most admired figures of manhood for his wisdom, freedom, and revolutionary ideals (and of course giving us Pamela as well) has become a sad, stupid and foolish old husk of a legend we once knew.

Be quick Leo, soon the man will be allowing Kendra to write editorials about the poor and middle east crisis.
