At the Playboy Mansion, one boy was forced be ‘a little Heff,’ now he is spilling the tea on his father, the parties, and the bunnies

Hugh Hefner’s son Marston is going viral for opening up about what it was really like growing up in the Playboy Mansion, and the pressure to live up to his father’s legacy. In a TikTok that’s racked up 3 million views, Marston walks through a backyard while reflecting on his childhood, the parties, and the struggle to figure out who he was outside of the Hefner name.

Marston starts by addressing the assumptions people make about his upbringing. “I never really fit in as Hugh Hefner’s son,” he says. “What people will always tell me is, ‘Oh, you must have gone to so many parties…’ What’s a party when I have Harry Potter?” He goes on to joke about the ‘endless access to women,’ admitting, “Now that I could have had fun with, but I was a teenager, and there were no women, there were more… the bunnies were more my friends.”
