A Scene That Occurs 1000 Times a Day in Hollywood
A reporter for the NY Daily News recounts what happened while he was trying to interview James Franco at the after-party for The Pineapple Express, and two attractive women walked up in the middle of it.
Girl: You look familiar.
Franco: I dunno. Have we met?
Girl: I saw you on screen an hour ago.
Franco: On the street?
Girl: No! On the movie screen! You were in the movie we just saw!
Girl 2: I loved it. I’m [Name redacted].
Girl: I’m [Name redacted]. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Franco: Hi. I’m James.
Girl 2: Where are you from?
Franco: Well I’m moving here to New York City very soon …
Publicist (interrupting): You know girls, this is the Daily News right here …
Daily News: Give me two seconds, and then you can tell him everything that you ever wanted to.
Girl (grinning widely): Like all my favorite sexual positions?
Franco (turns to the Daily News and smirks): I’ll borrow your tape recorder for that!
Heh.
James Franco just got way more attractive to me.

*SEEMS. sorry, people. i can type. kind of.

As much as it pains me to say this, he’s actually a good actor.
(Though I can’t speak for his work in Pineapple express yet.)
The moral of this Beet posting is either:
(a) Life’s just not fair; or
(b) Life sucks (unless you are James Franco, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or Leonardo di Craprio) and then you die.

Arrr, he is devine. I loved coveting him in peace in the F&G days, why did he have to go and get all famous on me..

Is it bad that he only became attractive to me AFTER I saw Pineapple Express? I’m starting to think whatever it is that drives my attraction to men is seriously warped….. oh well.

He used to really bother me, but that was pretty hot

“Arrr, he is devine. I loved coveting him in peace in the F&G days, why did he have to go and get all famous on me..”

Oy, James Franco has ALWAYS been attractive for me, except when I first saw him, which was in the Spiderman movies– didn’t like all that much until I saw him in the commercial for Pineapple Express.
… weird, right?
I don’t know, him being hot and funny but really longhaired and stanky-looking was just hothothot. I definitely prefer how he looks here than in the movie, though.
