It's just been announced there's going to be a Hugh Hefner biopic, and the Internet is not impressed by who's been cast to play Hefner himself.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jared Leto has signed up for the lead role.

Brett Ratner, who will be directing the biopic, revealed "when (Leto) heard I got the rights to Hef's story, he told me, 'I want to play him. I want to understand him.' And I really believe Jared can do it. He's one of the great actors of today."

But apparently not many people agree with him...
