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.

  • crap!
    my soon to be hubby is gonna be even more of a ladies man than he already is!
    curse a-list stardom and all of the attractive, easy women that it brings!

  • i used to cringe at the sight of him, then i saw spiderman 3. now i LOVE him. pineapple express here i come!

  • i always loved him! he’s so funny…but in real life, seem like such a down-to-earth guy. and he looks cute with BOTH short and long hair. ;)

  • 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.

  • His funny or die videos are great….turns out his mum is awesome too. Just makes me fancy him even more!

  • 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. :)

    @ ac: I feel the EXACT same way!!!!!!!!!

  • 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. :D

  • Good Time Max is a must see!!! James wrote and directed it. My God the list just never ends. The man is unbelievable! <3
