Robert Downey Jnr. is being heavily linked with the role of Hugh Hefner in a biopic of the legendary Playboy founder. Hefner has apparently handpicked Downey after being impressed by him in Iron Man; while the actor is thought to be interested in the role if the script is right. Last we heard Brett Ratner was going to be the one yielding the megaphone, but we’re not sure about that anymore as things have gone quiet at his end after he signed up for other projects. Also, we can see Hefner wanting to see the film before he buys the farm, and we all know Viagra is hardly a prolonger of life for the geriatrics. Hey, he’ll probably go out nailing three blondes whose combined age is still decades short of his. At least he’ll die with a smile on his face (providing he comes before he goes) *bangs drums*
