Jared Leto Denies Agreeing To Act In Brett Ratner's Hugh Hefner Biopic

Jared Leto has released a statement saying that he never agreed to star in a Hugh Hefner biopic, which was to be directed by Brett Ratner, who has recently come under fire for several accusations of sexual harassment by six women, which includes actresses Olivia Munn and Ntasha Henstridge. According to Munn, Ratner had pleasured himself in front of her while on the set of the 2004 film After the Sunset.

Leto's statement read, "Jared Leto is not and was not attached to a Brett Ratner directed Hugh Hefner film, nor will he be working with him in the future."

The Playboy company has also placed the film on hold amid reports of Ratner's alleged lewd behavior.
