Can you picture Robert Downey Jr. playing Hugh Hefner? Hef can!

Robert has expressed his interest to play the Playboy great in a biopic that's reportedly in the works, and the good news is he got the green light from Hef himself!

When asked about the possibility of Robert playing him, Hef told Hollyscoop, "Downey and I have talked about it and it is a very real possibility."

"He's a marvelous actor and I would be honored if he decided to do it," he told Hollyscoop at Playboys 50th Annual Playmate Announcement ceremony in Las Vegas this past weekend.

We all know Robert's was bit of a playboy himself, so he shouldn't have too much trouble getting into the role. And if Hef has given him the green light, you know it's going to be a great flick! What are your thoughts on Robert playing Hef? If you could have casted the movie, who would you have picked to play Hef?

Please...do we really need a movie about him or another film with Robert Downey Jr. I think not!!! Maybe they will both just go away.

I can't think of anybody better than Robert. He always raises the bar in any film, and he think he will do a classy job with an interesting subject. Go Robert!
