I believe the answer is:
lecherous
'randy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rubbish clues about leading man' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' is an anagram indicator (a poor quality or rubbish spelling of the letters).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'leading man' becomes 'hero' (eg the hero of a film).
'clues' is an anagram of 'lecus'.
'lecus' enclosing 'hero' is 'LECHEROUS'.
(Another definition for lecherous that I've seen is " Lustful".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
