It hasn’t even been a week since Hugh Hefner passed and already the news of a biopic is in the works. However, the actor that they chose is something that people are having an issue with. Jared Leto is set to star as Hugh Hefner.
For starters, I think that we should be thanking our lucky stars because this biopic is not on Lifetime, like the other disasters that’s come from that network. Jared Leto will hold the prestigious role of starring as the Playboy mogul himself, Hugh Hefner. Many in the magical land of Twitter had a major issue with this and expressed themselves in the way we expected them to.
What are your thoughts on this selection? Take a look at what some had to say.
Just read the words "Jared Leto will play Hugh Hefner" and my eyes rolled out of my head and down the hallway.
