FILM: Hugh Hefner biopic

Many men have dreamed of stepping into Hugh Hefner's slippers, passing the Playboy Mansion's threshold, and having a threesome in the grotto with Ms. November and Ms. December. There are several tests that an actor or singer/musician can use to determine whether or not they've "made it" in Hollywood. The most obvious being whether the paparazzi have stationed tents outside your house, and whether People is willing to pay millions for photos of your baby or spend weeks obsessing over your latest fling. But for guys...for guys, getting an invite to the Playboy mansion is like the official ticket into the in crowd--a ticket that's been given to the seemingly sweet (Nick Lachey) and the sleazy (Jeremy Piven). Heff's empire has been legendary since the Jurassic period. He is the capitalist version of Caligula. And in a couple of months, Brett Ratner is going to immortalize him in a biopic. Question is: Who will play him? Readers of Popwatch suggested these actors to play Heff:

Matt Damon (It kind of looks like him, but who would buy that sweet boy as that dirty hound?)
Edward Norton (Eh. Surprisingly, he's too thin in the face to play the role.)
Clive Owen (*scoffs* I don't care what you say Laura, I hated Children of Men.)
Daniel Craig (Sorry dude, but your face is wayyyy too wrinkled.)
George Clooney (Um, Heff wishes he looked as good as Clooney.)
Rob Lowe (This guy's too clean cut to play what is essentially a pimp.)
Aaron Eckhart (They kind of look similar, but he just doesn't look smooth enough.)
Vince Vaughn (Oh please. Pale, giant, and chubby...*buzzer*)



Maybe getting a newcomer with a commanding presence would be a better idea. Ben Whishaw was in the truly creepy film Perfume, where he played a serial killer who uses the corpses of beautiful girls to create the perfect scent. That aside--he's the exact same age as Heff when he started Playboy (27) and although he's British, he kind of sort of looks like him. Alright, I'm grasping at straws, but just from the trailer you can tell this kid's got something...other than looks ladies.
