Jared Leto to Play Hugh Hefner in Biopic

Rockstar, actor, philanthropist, and now billionaire playboy.

Jared Leto is set to portray Hugh Hefner in an upcoming biopic set to be directed by Brett Ratner. Hefner passed away last week at the age of 91.

The biopic will chronicle the legendary mogul who founded Playboy magazine in 1953 and turned it into a veritable empire with mens’ clubs all over the world, while at the same time leading an envious bachelor lifestyle into his 80s. Ratner also wants to produce a rebooted version of Playboy After Dark, the late-1960s talk show that Hefner hosted.
