An actor has been selected to play Hugh Hefner in an upcoming biopic

Out of any role in any movie, doco, or biopic, this would have to be the best role to play by far...

Hugh Hefner lived a pretty extraordinary life and the majority of the time he was surrounded by drop-dead gorgeous Playgirls from the Mansion as you well know. 

Brett Ratner who directed the 'Rush Hour' series has been given the rights to shoot this biopic and has chosen one lucky man to play the role!

A lot of people thought it could be between James Franco, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.

It turns out that Jared Leto has been offered to play the role of Hugh!

A release date yet to be confirmed.
