Leonardo DiCaprio In Hugh Hefner Role?

JUL 14, 2007 AT 08:16 AM

If rumors are to be believed, we can expect to see Leonardo DiCaprio as the iconic playboy Hugh Hefner in a new film directed by Brett Ratner.
Although not yet confirmed, rumors abound that DiCaprio is jonesing for the role and is said to be in early negotiations, but how much is fact and how much is fiction remains to be seen. What's probably not a secret is that DiCaprio has been known to frequent the Playboy Mansion from time to time and is said to be very good friends with Hefner.
According to an anonymous source, DiCaprio has been interested in doing something of this kind for some time.

"Leo and Hugh have been friends for a long time and Leo has always been interested in Hugh's life story. Leo thinks it would make a great movie and Hugh would love Leo to do it - on condition Hugh is alive to see it."


Inside sources say filming could begin sometime this year, so I guess we'll have to wait and see who really gets the role. In the meantime, enjoy more Leo below as he films "Revolutionary Road," which is scheduled to be released in 2008.
