Playboy founder Hugh Hefner died on 28 September. The porn magnate was 91.

“I‘m never going to grow up,” Reuters quoted Hefner as saying in a CNN interview when he was 82.

Staying young is what it is all about for me. Holding on to the boy and long ago I decided that age really didn’t matter and as long as the ladies ... feel the same way, that’s fine with me.

“My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom,” his son Cooper said in a statement, according to posts on social media.
