According to U.K. magazine Female First, Hugh Hefner wants actor Robert Downey Jr. to portray him in "Playboy," a movie in the works focusing on Hef's early years.

Hef was reportedly impressed by Downey's performance in "Iron Man." However, a rep for Downey says that while the actor is interested in the project, he won't commit until a script has been completed and a director has been named.

And while no shooting dates have been scheduled for "Playboy" yet, producers are apparently looking to start shooting the film in Chicago next summer. This may prove to be a scheduling conflict for Downey, since he has committed to shooting "Iron Man 2″ some time next year for a 2010 release.
