Will Playboy magazine soon return to its roots and begin sharing nude photos once again?

In March, many fans of the magazine were highly disappointed to discover that a no-nudes policy had been implemented. However, now that Cooper Hefner is taking over as the magazine's chief creative officer, a new report suggests a U-turn could be in the cards.

On Wednesday, the Daily Mail pointed out that Cooper had been extremely vocal with his thoughts on the idea of a no-nude Playboy, revealing he did not agree with the decision whatsoever.

"When you have a company and the founder is responsible for kick-starting the sexual revolution and then you pluck out that aspect of the company's DNA by removing the nudity, it makes a lot of people including me sit and say: 'What the hell is the company doing?'" Cooper said during an interview with the Business Insider earlier this year.

A short time later, he confirmed his thoughts to the New York Post.

“There has been no change of heart, and I continue to be well aware of what has made Playboy so remarkably special,” he said.

As for what fans can expect to see once he takes over, Cooper teased that the upcoming year would be "big."

“Some aspects of the brand won’t alter, as there have been a number of successful creative and business pivots over the last few years that are worthy of celebration,” he told Media Ink. “However, as we close in on our 64th year as an organization, I can assure you certain aspects of our formula will change. We are currently implementing a creative strategy for the brand moving forward. Let’s just say, 2017 will be a big year for our rabbit.”
