FILM: Robert Downey Jr. = Hugh Hefner


I agree that Robert Downey Jr. was a convincing playboy in Iron Man, but for him to actually get cast as the founder of Playboy, Hugh Hefner, in the aging millionaire's biopic is just absurd. They don't even look similar.

Hef,
however, was impressed with Downey Jr.'s charisma when he saw the action movie, and "admires his humor and vulnerability." I don't know about you, but when I think of Hugh Hefner, I don't think funny.

Technically Downey Jr. hasn't said yes yet. He won't sign on until a director is chosen and the script is finalized. Oh thank god. Let's hope he's too occupied with Iron Man sequels to even consider it further.

What do you guys think?
