James Franco is actually happy he was canceled

That makes two of us.

Who?

No one cares about this aging homo anymore.

Doubt he's completely thrilled but it's good he's smart enough to reevaluate his life choices. I trust Seth's judgement in moving on.

R1 speaks for DL on this. TRUTH

I’ve always liked him and still do.

His reported behavior during his class sounded sleazy and opportunistic. Who was surprised?

But the class action suit or whatever it was against Franco by those who participated in the class seemed opportunistic and sleazy as well.

[quote] he's smart enough to reevaluate his life choices.

He evaluated nothing, R4, but his bottom line. He'd do it all again if he could. He just knows groveling and looking contrite and supposedly learning from his behavior is the only choice he has to restart his dead career. Of course Rogan cut him loose--association with Franco is a liability.

The MeToo movement had its victories, but it also had its shit shows.

Eh… he was so enormously famous and popular for sooo many years, and so prolific in his projects. I got really sick of this guy in the ‘00s and ‘10s he was too everywhere. Too many films, too much tv, too many books, too much art, too many social media stunts. If anything that’s what made me hate him. Too much.

If he got “cancelled” after a long career, or if he just faded away after a long career. What’s the difference in the big picture?

[quote] What’s the difference in the big picture?

Maybe ask Franco that, R10.

He cost himself a Oscar nomination that year for that dramedy

His sleazy behavior cost him more than an Oscar nod.

But do people really think winning an Oscar is all that?

Oh, he never would have won, R14.

I always loved that weird little movie he made early in his career called THE APE. I think he self produced it.

I thought his Cindy Sherman “parody” photos were underrated. Those were well done! Sherman herself was pissed off about them. Mission accomplished.

He won the globe for The Disaster Artist but got kicked from the Oscar top 5. Gary Oldman won for The Darkest Hour.

The funniest thing I thought he ever did was take that regular role on General Hospital, at the height of his career! His character was a moody avant garde artist asshole who murdered people. So funny.

His books of poetry were insufferable. There were too many of them!

David Brooks should lead you in the Right direction

He’s still sexy as fuck

He's a mediocre actor, a self-promoting shill, a bad director, and an even worse writer. I don't know what level of non-threat that makes him--a quadruple one?

R21 Princess Grace giving Stephanie the wheel

The above post was correct. This guy was around too much too long. Him going away was a relief.

His art was so bad it was funny. I don’t think it was a coincidence he became interested in The Room.

I still own the holiday pullover of him and Seth naked sitting on Santa's lap.

I would still rim him deep......

Really, R28? He's looking grizzly and long in the tooth. There are plenty of other sex pests out there to lust after.

I always laugh thinking of him crying while eating a cheeseburger on a swing set in PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. That film is hysterical.

Still anytime anyplace. ANYTIME ANYPLACE.

You'll be waiting a long time, R31. He's only interested in harassing women.

Brad Pitt looks better than him now, and I think Brad is older(?) Johnny Depp looks worse than both of them.

He’s handling his gray hair well.

R32 I know 😆. I wouldn’t call him an abuser abuser though. Just a scheming jerk. He always seemed genuinely apologetic.

Do you know what he did in his so-called school, R35? If so, your definition of abuser-abuser is right up there with Whoopi and rape-rape.

sleazy and opportunistic

Sounds good to me, I like a little sleeze, just like him, he can sit on my face.

People just need to get real. I’m not saying what he did was right. But people are acting like non forcible rape guys are Satan. Men have always used their positions of power for pussy. It’s a shitty thing to do but he’s human. He deserves redemption.

We used to enjoy his canned spaghetti when I was a kid. It was sublime!

I personally vote for his Gucci leather jackets (he got from modeling for them) superglued to canvases with paint splattered all over them as is best/worst art. He even lectured about them to art students at Cal Arts! LOL!

But he wouldn't, R37. All this sad lust for and excusing the behavior of a straight guy who would never touch any gay guy.

R41 You almost say that like it makes him homophobic. He wouldn’t touch a gay guy because he isn’t gay.

He’s at it again. Look at his latest art show at Galerie Cinema in Paris, called Hollywood Is Hell. Sheesh!

More from the current art show in Paris

I’m glad he’s found peace but he sleazed his way out of the industry and will never come back. He’s not that good of an actor and now is a middle aged has been.

For years I thought he was Italian-American but he’s actually Portuguese. His younger bro is 🔥 too.

I want to sit on his face

I always liked him and always will. He’s interesting.

[quote] He wouldn’t touch a gay guy because he isn’t gay.

Exactly, R42--which is why it's kind of pathetic to lust after him.

LOL!

Ok I’m sorry. Gay brain stop lusting. I still stand by everything else I said. He did some trash ass things. He is sorry. Time has passed. Should one be damned for life?

Seth Rogen knows more details about Franco’s sleazery than we do and him completely cutting him off should tell you that his behavior was worse than just using his fame to get sex.

R52 or it shows he is not a loyal friend. I will always be loyal to my friends unless they murder or viciously hurt someone. And I would still admonish their bad actions. People in Hollywood are so two faced.

R53 well maybe Seth holds himself and others to a higher standard than “not committing murder”

Christ.

Compulsive posting is a problem.

R54 High standards? Have you seen his filmography.

Pretty soon after the allegations he got himself in a committed situation. He's been with that Izabel woman for probably 5 years now. His previous interest in Cruising and all gave one hope.

R57,

"And so, yeah, I put a lot of time into my personal life. I’ve had a relationship for seven-and-a-half years [with U.S. actress-director Izabel Pakzad]."

[quote]For years I thought he was Italian-American but he’s actually Portuguese. His younger bro is 🔥 too.

R46, the Franco brothers are Jewish. Dave in particular is very proud to be Jewish, as he said to Conan O'Brien a few years ago. ("I'm circumcised as fuck!")

Dave is hotter and a better actor, in my opinion.

Is Dave also circumcised as fuck?

I find Rogen sanctimonious. He’s always apologizing for old jokes and taking the PC partly line. When did comedians get so tame?

I'd suck his sleazy dick while squeezing his canceled titties.

I would have given his cock a good sucking, now and then

That patterned shirt he's got on in OP's pic looks like something the assistant manager of a put-put golf course in small-town Indiana would wear.

He is threatening to direct again. Nooooo.

Unpopular opinion. He is a better actor than Leo. The worst mistake of his career was hosting the Oscars stoned.

Is he still attending ColumbiaNYUYaleRISDUCLA?

James Franco needs to do an apology tour or he'll have to be roommates with Kevin Spacey to get by.

He never made a vast fortune (estimates put his net worth at ~$30mm). Without an apology tour, no jobs and no income.

When the inevitable lawsuits come through, he won't have a pot to piss in.

I had a crush on Franco a couple of decades ago when he was young & hot. Had a nice ass, too.

It's a shame how much he has deteriorated.

James Franco looks like the kind of guy who doesn't bathe regularly, still expects you to rim him, and then shames you for having a mouthful of dingleberries when you come up for air.

If he truly felt that way he would not be talking about it.

I think he still looks great! Daddy! 😜
