Well our friend from Catch me if you Can (I mention that movie cause I just saw it :p) if about to star as the legendary Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner. Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to play Hefner in his biopic. Sounds like awesome fun, I wonder if they are gonna show if Hef really does have sex slaves or not?

Apparently DiCaprio is a friend of Hefner and visits the Playboy LA Mansion regularly. I wonder if he gets a quickie while he’s there? Guess there is really nothing else to do huh? An unnamed source had the following to say about the movie

Leo thinks it would make a great movie and Hugh would love Leo to do it - on the condition that Hugh is alive to see it.

At 81 and according to some sources getting a root every day, I dunno how long he can hold on to the precious life he leads. Currently Brian Glazer is attached to the film and really wants to portray everything that is Hugh Hefner. Here is a quote from him

Hef came from a puritanical upbringing and reinvented himself to be the godfather of the sexual revolution. He also used his magazine to advocate civil rights and free speech. He broke all kinds of taboos, especially in sexuality. I want to show it all, from the First Amendment struggles to his first orgy to the stroke in the 1980s that almost killed him.

This won’t be the first time Leonardo DiCaprio has played a controversial real life figure. He has previously acted out Howard Hughes and Frank Abagnale Junior in The Aviator and Catch me if you Can respectively. I am a big fan of biographies and really liked Catch me if you can, more on a personal level than a critic.
