Hugh Hefner wants Robert Downey Jr. to play him

Hef reportedly wants Robert Downey Jr after seeing Iron Man, admiring his humor and skill in showing his vulnerability.
The film would be shot mostly in Chicago, where Hefner's Playboy Magazine got its start. Hefner has since moved to L.A.'s Holmby Hills. Production could begin as early as next summer, depending on Downey's Iron Man 2 shooting schedule and the finalization of Hefner's script.

A rep for the actor said Downey is interested in Hef's project but is unlikely to commit to it until a script is done and a director is named.
