Leonardo DiCaprio’s Hef Aspirations
Believe it or not, Leonardo DiCaprio wants to be Hugh Hefner… on film, that is. The Titanic star is looking into making a film about the Playboy founder.
Leo’s been in talks with the 81-year-old Hef about making a film to document his amazing life. And he wants to assume the lead role himself.
A source close to DiCaprio told press, “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.”
Leo has certainly done the research to play the part. He’s a regular at the legendary Playboy Mansion, and a frequent guest for Hef’s parties. Hef told press, “In the 70s Warren Beatty was having a very good time here. He and Jack Nicholson were regulars. More recently Leonardo DiCaprio is a regular. He comes to the Halloween parties with his buddies but in disguise. Last time they came as monkeys. And there were about six of them and you couldn’t tell who was who.”
Whether or not the film will make it into production is still largely unknown. But if it does, we’re all in for a fun ride through the life of Hugh Hefner.
Enjoy the photos of Leo giving a speech at Live Earth 2007 (July 7).
