I don't think Robert's slimy and ugly enough to play Heffner. Robert's very sensual, while even as a young man Heffner seemed like an old perv, like your neighbor's dirty grandpa.

No.

No.

I'm not seeing it...

Did you see him as Tony Stark a year ago?

Well, the piece says that Hefner himself has the say in who plays him... so I doubt he's gonna go, "Hm... not slimy and ugly enough."

That said, who's gonna want to watch a movie about Hugh Hefner? I mean, it promises lots of eye candy, but the bottom line is that Playboy Bunnies aren't all that to begin with.

Lol. Maybe Downey's his third choice after Pitt and Clooney.

I'd the give the role to Damon or Leo. You could always age em. I think either of them would be great.

I can totally see Downey as The Hef.

I mean, who'da thunk of casting Heath Ledger as The Joker?
