THE FRANCO FILE

James Franco looks hot hot hot in the new December/January issue of BlackBook Magazine.

The 30-year-old actor, who plays the lover of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) in Gus van Sant’s highly biopic Milk, speaks candidly about his career and his studies at Columbia and NYU. Franco, who wrote directed and starred in 2005’ Ape, a film about a closeted gay writer, discussed playing another gay character in Milk:

On working with Sean Penn: “After we wrapped up Milk, Sean Penn said to me, ‘I’m going to have to break up with you now.”

On his fave NYC hang-outs: “Bungalow 8, Smith and Mills and Chanterelle.”

On his outlook on gay relationships: “As soon as I got out of high school, I was like, I don’t care if anybody’s gay. It doesn’t matter. Doing Milk, I don’t know if it broadened my mind at all. I like to think that I was as open as I could be at that point.”

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG HEZZZ MY BIGGEST OBSESSIONNNNNNNNN
SOO HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT<33333333

None of these pics do him justice. We need one of his lovely lopsided smile. I loved him in Fly boys ! Not the greatest movie ever, but his character was dreamy ! !

His character in The Ape isn’t gay (closeted or otherwise). Also, that movie is SHOCKINGLY bad. The title character is played by a man in a dime-store ape mask (no moving mouth, muffled dialogue) — in profile shots you can actually see through the mask’s eyeholes to the other side. A good movie to watch in a group and ridicule.

AGREED, BK. I think I remember there being a scene where the camera was behind a bookshelf or something and you could barely see what was happening in the scene. Though i do applaud the movie for the priceless line in the start - “Oh Judy, your seahorse!” But beyond that first five minutes, its pretty much unbearable.

James marry me please!!!!

james franco is so freakin hot!!! i wish i could have him all to myself!

james is the perfect man.. i melt just looking at him! he”s so HOT!

I like james franco very much. I agree he is smart and wonder if is saying he is gay in a way that doesn’t necessarily say he’s gay?

james franco is gay. I know I know why doesn’t he just say it ? career ?
he says things that mask the truth, I think, he is smart , and having a good time I think & maybe he intends to write screenplays, direct fims, etc. and one day come out or in the inevitable future interview introduce his boyfriend. ??? just a thought

Oh james! Why do you gotta be ALL that all the time? WHY?

People like to think extremely attractive talented men are gay, just cause they’re almost sheer perfection. It’s only obvious that it’s about envy.

No, seriously..this man drives me CRAZY!

btw he is incredible in Milk and Pineapple Express and has got the most wonderful smile ( :

He is so handsomeeeeeee.
Typical Aries…

He isn`t gay… only in “Milk”!
