Hefner 'wants Kate Winslet in Playboy'

Hugh Hefner has said that he would like to feature Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet as a centrefold in Playboy.

The magazine's founder described Winslet as one of the "major sex celebrities of the time", together with Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, Metro reports.

Hefner said: "There's no question we would be interested in her.

"It's a competitive market, more than it used to be, and certainly Kate Winslet would be most welcome in our pages."

He added that he would also be interested in featuring pictures of popstars Lily Allen and Cheryl Cole, though he said that Cole was "the more attractive of the two".

Last week, it was claimed that Winslet had pledged never to take off her clothes for a film role again because she cannot "keep getting away with it".
