James Franco finally admits to sleeping with his students and battling a sex addiction

Did he sleep with any males?

It’s amazing how no one missed him.

Lucky students! I volunteer to help him with his sex addiction.

Who cares about pussy? We want to hear about the guys he fucked.

Guess he needs income again.

He lost me at “I had sex with my students”

No one missed him. It’s so funny.

He doesn't mention the genders of the students he slept with. How many were guys?

Why is sex the new evil? Straight and bi men should learn that women hate sex and if they don’t in the moment… they will re-evaluate the past in the future based on their hormone levels at that later moment.

Sleeping with students is unethical for a number of reasons, but the bottom line is that students shouldn't be able to improve their grades by sucking off their instructors.

What a perfect situation for a sex addict -- students could be throwing themselves at him because he's movie star with sex appeal and he can improve their grade.

I'm not proud of this but if I could have improved my grade by sucking off a professor, I would have, no question.

I guess I was right.

Oh James, how many times didn't I tell you a man of your err..."sexual appetite" would be better sticking to men? This whole ordinal would have been prevented by engaging in gay sex with other horny men (which there are many) and discrete therapy dealing with your own childhood trauma and sexual hangups.

Let me give you an advice: STICK TO MEN ONLY

he's white and used to be a sex symbol.

he'll be fine

Is he still having gay orgies with Timothee or is that part of his treatment?

[quote]Is he still having gay orgies with Timothee or is that part of his treatment?

Still? I never heard anything connecting James and Timothee before.

Do tell!

R16 they’re lying. Jesus. Stop believing everything you read on here. Newsflash, most of it is BULLSHIT

Sex addiction is pretty…immature? I mean, really? Sex is great and all but doesn’t it lose its luster a bit after a certain age? Like, its just sex.

Sex addiction is real. “Shame” did a pretty good job at showing this

I would rim him deep!

Folks, it was his made up acting school, not Harvard.

Exactly, this is Trump University for actors. It's fake.

He could have molested me repeatedly and forcefully for all I care.

And I thought any addiction would make you miss work or school, but I saw him working all the time. When did he become a sex addict????

Are you stupid? R22 r22

He taught at UCLA, NYU, Columbia and the California Institute of the Arts

R24 needs to learn the difference between being stupid and not being fully informed.

It’s not sex addiction. He’s just an asshole.

It’s stupid r25. If you aren’t informed don’t comment on it. The information is all over the internet.

We need to stop coddling criminals, giving them phrases like “mentally ill”, “CRT”, “sex addicted”.

*CTE

Dirty bird.

The linked interview talks about the sex scene classes and relationships with students he had at Studio 4 -- the unaccredited school Franco founded in 2014.

Yes, and stop coddling to morbidly obese people too, stop giving them phrases like "fit-fat," "food addiction," "beauty from inside," blah blah blah.

I should have signed up for that class just to shag the prof.

What's the big deal? He's hardly the first teacher to have slept with students. And he was teaching acting and actors sleeping their way into a job is nothing unusual.

R31 yes, but he taught at actual schools also.

CTE is very real. It's not an excuse.

Maybe he’s done gay baiting now

Did he sleep with any male students is what we want to know.

I hope he becomes more and more desperate for money and shows up in some trashy sex films or starts an OnlyFans.

[quote] Folks, it was his made up acting school, not Harvard.

But he was also a teaching assistant leading discussion sections of literature courses at Yale. Did he fuck students there too?

Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey also claimed to be "sex addicts"

Has anyone said yet that they only want to hear about the male students?

Well then, has anyone said yet that if they were his student he could fuck them all he wanted??

I want to hear about any cis male students he fucked.

He could rape me.

CTE is garbage.

[quote]Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey also claimed to be "sex addicts"

It’s all part of coddling criminals. Don’t be fooled.

so miscast as Harry Osborn in Spider-man because in the comics Pete was handsome and Harry was not. He had funny red hair that looked like a rug or something.

I’ve always loved him.

He looks like he'd be a really sleazy fuck. ? I'd let him plough me.

He’s cagey, I’ll give him that.

For you, R44.

[quote]I'm done. Bye

Me too.

“When I was in 6th grade, they told us that when we got to junior high, we’d either be Track 1, Track 2, or Track 3…how do you think it made me feel to be a Track 3 kid?”

I see right through you, James Franco.

[quote] I'm done. Bye

[quote] Me too.

Please don't leave, Anonymous and Anonymous! Datalounge would be nothing without you!

Alright, kween. I’ll stay.

So a sex addict hollywood lactor taught a class about 'sex' with most of the students probably drooling, leering at him. Of course that won't end well.

[quote]Please don't leave, Anonymous and Anonymous! Datalounge would be nothing without you!

Who said I'm leaving? I'm done with that conversation.

Nobody wants him back. His time has come to a close already.

He sucked in almost all of his roles. I never understood how he kept getting work.

I have more respect for heroin addicts. Sex addiction, how embarrassing.

R59 all of it is bad

His own school was basically an intro to the casting couch. He can deny it all he wants, but he and his fellow male actors know how show biz *wink, wink* works. Having a school just made it convenient to have all the ingenues come to him in one location. How conveeeeennnnnient, as the Church Lady would say.

[quote]Who said I'm leaving? I'm done with that conversation.

Me too because it’s more coddling of criminals. Or when black and brown people commit heinous crimes.

His brother's really cute, too. I want a sandwich with them.

[quote]So a sex addict hollywood actor taught a class about 'sex' with most of the students probably drooling, leering at him. O

Why would they be drooling, and leering at him?

Creepy man

Girl he a slut hunny

R18, it's not about the sex at that point. When you're addicted, it's just like any other addiction. The sex is used to self-medicate over a specific self-esteem or pathological issue.

He’s pathetic

They asked to be taught but they didn't like it.

Go elsewhere.

She's a brigadier with The Upright Citizens Brigade.

She's a Christian Crusader in a mini-skirt.

Uh, aren't all men in their 20's sex addicts? By addicts, meaning they think about sex all the time, and are constantly on the prowl for young nubiles?

James Franco has even been disgraced in his home town where he has been the local hero since high school. Linked is an. article about painting over his mural at Palo Alto High School. Fun Facts: The woman hugging him is an award winning journalism teacher who was very close to James, and she (Esther Wojcicki) is the mother of the founder of 23 and me, and the president of YouTube. Anne Wojcicki (23&me) was married to Sergei Brin who divorced her and then she was set up with Alex Rodriguez for a couple of years.

2nd fun fact: James Franco and Lisa Jobs (Steve Jobs daughter who he first disavowed) were in same journalism class and were semi friends.

James made several movies based on his book of short stories "Palo Alto." They were filmed in part locally and show the seamier/charming side of the city.

Have you all seen Freaks & Geeks? James is so adorable in that series. It is hysterical.

It takes two to tango. These fame hungry money hungry herpes whores need to get real.

Here's an Entertainment Weekly article where he addresses the sexual allegations.

I think that this part is perceptive: "Franco admitted to Cagle that he did sleep with students, adding that he had grown "completely blind to power dynamics… but also completely blind to people's feelings." Having done "a lot of work" on himself in the years since the allegations against him were made public, Franco is tentatively stepping back into the limelight."

Why haven't his frontal nudes leaked?

Sorry not sorry

[quote] Uh, aren't all men in their 20's sex addicts?

How is that relevant? He was ages 36 through 39 when the acting school was in business.

I've met Dave Franco. He is small and beautiful, like a porcelain doll. I love some of James' work, like Your Highness and This Is the End. Lots of homoeroticism.

I was molested at his acting school.

He's still hot

This is karma for his crimes against literature, especially for desecrating William Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying'. That, I'll never forgive.

The disgraced actor from an acting family thinks his career will be back on track now that he has confessed to his horrible behavior and did the old standby of sex addiction. There are at least another dozen or more people who could also call him out and plan to if he gets another chance at working. James Franco

If he was truly remorseful he wouldn't come back into the spotlight. His penance would be a life of seclusion and service. But a narcissist thinks about what they can GET, not about what is right.

He looks like the boy momma told me never to talk to.

Is there a way back for James Flacco?

I don't doubt he have some type of sex addiction. Yes, have, because I doubt he's fully ok.

But glad he addmited it. There are crack heads, meth heads out there that will fight you if you suggest they have a problem.

And his case reminds me of Terry Crews, who had a porn addiction and has talked about it recently.

Jim Franco is not sorry. He’s a “sex addict”. Not his fault.

I don't care about him.

He is boring.

Please make him go away.

He queer bated for credibility. Fuck HIM.

[quote] I don't doubt he have some type of sex addiction. Yes, have, because I doubt he's fully ok.

No, "has," because "have" is ungrammatical.

Is that a hair piece??

Get lost again, James. You're a phony and the cute is decades gone.

Period.

[quote]He doesn't mention the genders of the students he slept with. How many were guys?

I can't imagine if any were that he would be forthcoming with that information.

I think he’s being quite honest- and yes people act out sexually-and yes, faculty mess with students- absolutely. I still like him- funny as hell in Pineapple Express, great in the flick where he has to amputate his arm- terrific in Milk. He!s a bit nutty and manic- but I’ve always liked his openness and normalization of sex- straight and gay. He’s working on his problems and t being honest- he’s not making excuses.

When he talked about his girlfriend you could tell he was lying. He said it “probably was hard” for her as if he does not know her. He’s gross.

James Franco finally admits to sleeping with his students

Well if it's good enough for Indiana Jones....

He’s a piece of 💩

[quote] This is karma for his crimes against literature, especially for desecrating William Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying'. That, I'll never forgive.

THIS. James Franco spent all that money on the rights to adapt Faulkner and Steinbeck only to … direct them himself? He is mediocre.

At least Reese Witherspoon hands over her properties to Jean-Marc Vallée and David Fincher. Franco could have acted in those movies and handed over direction duty to David Gordon Green or Paul Thomas Anderson.

But nooooo. He wants to be a Renaissance Man.

I don't think Franco's gay, I think he took gay roles to distract from the real skeletons in his closet. Seems like a PR strat to redirect speculation from real abusive stuff to just gay rumors. Him, Armie Hammer, Jared Leto have all coopted the community like this. Then as straights they get to brag about how openminded and comfortable in their sexuality they are.

He’s still fucking hot! He can sleep with me anytime!!

[quote] he's white and used to be a sex symbol.

He’s white?

R77, it seems like arrested development.

[Quote]Please don't leave, Anonymous and Anonymous! Datalounge would be nothing without you!

Don't worry, they always come back in the next post.

[quote] Are you stupid? [R22] [R22] He taught at UCLA, NYU, Columbia and the California Institute of the Arts

Who are you to call anyone stupid? He never taught acting at those schools. He taught acting at his own private studio, a made up school.

R80 Is that a real dick getting sucked and is that really James sucking it? Damn!

[quote]CTE is garbage.

R44, that isn't what your linked article says. It says that Bennet Omalu, " the man considered by many the public face of CTE research, routinely exaggerates his accomplishments and dramatically overstates the known risks of CTE and contact sports, fueling misconceptions about the disease, according to interviews with more than 50 experts in neurodegenerative disease and brain injuries, and a review of more than 100 papers from peer-reviewed medical journals... Omalu did not discover CTE, nor did he name the disease."

" A deeply religious man, Omalu has said he believes he is on a mission from God, and he views scientists who question him with suspicion and hostility.

“As a Christian, I believe after death there is judgment,” Omalu told a lawyer in a deposition once, when asked about experts who raised doubts about his theories. “They will all answer for this on judgment day.”"

Mmm-hmm. A Christian. It figures.

Point being, though, CTE is still a real affliction, Omalu notwithstanding.

R90 you're a cunty grammar nazi but english is not my first language and I didnt knew it was incorrect. Thanks, cunt.

'Ok, maybe he didn't say Dick 2. On his oral scene with a pistol in Spring Breakers: "Guess I’m a natural…It was my first time." When reminded that this wasn't his first time, recalling his part in the 2011 film The Broken Tower, Franco reacted, "Oh s*** ...It wasn't my first time. That was a dildo. If I'd had the guts, it woulda been real." 1. On the gay rumors: "One of my professors at Yale ...had been a 19th-century literature scholar. But as soon as he brought his queer life into that world, it gave him this energy and a realization: It wasn't about being gay but about being different. And that gave me a feeling of enormous permission."

Wrong thread R106.

Don't care how many stds i get, i want him to fuck raw again and again and again. He is the hottest.

But he’s not gay, R110, or bi.

^^^ Well, sometimes that is what makes them hot. I don't really want him, just the fantasy. Jeez!

Straight guys are not a fantasy.

r113 Sure they are, just ask my brother.

Yum boy!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Straight guys are the fantasy of disturbed gay guys.

He looks smelly but I'd still do him.

The women willingly slept with him because he was James Franco, good looking and sexy. No one was having sex with Seth Rogan because he was fat, gross and sloppy.

James Franco shouldn't have to apologize for any of it, but in this age of #metoo, even if a man shakes a woman's hand, she accuses him of sexually molesting her.

I don't know if this will revise Franco's career, but Seth Rogan has been exposed as a scumbag.

He can molest me anytime!

If Mel Gibson can get work in the industry, Franco can too. Although it probably depends on what friends he has left.

Why has OP been given the drawn line treatment ?

Clearly, R122, James Franco owns Datalounge.

He's dirty and depraved and I'd still lick him from head to toe.

[quote]Wrong thread R106.

No, it isn't, R109. If you read R106 at all, you would have seen that it was a reply to R44, who in turn was responding to R36, who was responding to R28/R29. It was very much this thread.

After checking, I discovered that R28, R29, R44, and R109 are all the same account. What a troll!

After stalking. Good lord.

^^ Ah - wrong thread.

Enough.

^^ The troll doesn't get to tell anyone else 'enough.'

Miss? Stop.

Thank you, Poisoned Dragon. I was the one in that conversation saying CTE was real and it was very much in this thread.

CTE is not real. It is a hoax. It is a way to excuse criminals (black and brown ONLY) who commit heinous acts.

I saw him (embarassingly) as celebrity crush escapism. He was interesting. He got a lot of good parts and got to direct and dabbled in the art and music worlds. Who has time for this crap. A lot has happened in the last three years. I'm really indifferent now.

R121, seems like being a stoner who likes sex and has a lot of it is worse than being an anti-semite , racist , misogynistic, alcoholic bully.

I'm not interested unless he was addicted to fucking of-age males.

R136 He very deliberately doesn't mention the genders of the students he fucked. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them had penises.

Gee, r136, no one has said that once yet in this whole thread.

R138 I didn't feel like reading the entire thread before I posted.

R121 exactly. Does James Franco still have friends?

Mel Gibson had some Jews, a black person and a lesbian telling the press they love him.

How the fuck many mainstream movie sex scenes has James Franco shot that would justify him teaching a sex scenes class?

Is James Franco known for playing romantic leads?

[quote]Straight guys are not a fantasy.

They are for eldergays raised to hate themselves. Threads about straight guys are always an age giveaway crawling with geriatrics.

[quote] [R138] I didn't feel like reading the entire thread before I posted.

You need to read the entire thread before posting or you get banned. Don’t let the ban hammer come down on you.

What exactly did he do that was criminal? He was a sleaze, obviously, but somewhat creepy behavior shouldn't be enough to get you publicly disgraced on the national level. The girls were all of legal age, and there's been no evidence of him punishing their grades if they rejected him.

If everyone who behaved like a slut with no boundaries in Hollywood, male or female, was MeTooed, there wouldn't be ANY more actors. I feel like he must have pissed off some higher-up for this non-story to happen to him. Seth Rogen is a total slimeball for throwing his friend of decades under the bus to score woke points......

[quote] What exactly did he do that was criminal?

Nothing. It’s just women being women.

Just like JFK.

“Sex addict.” In other words, he’s male.

His look of sudden panic during this roundtable when they bring up the issue says it all.

He hasn’t faced even 1/12 of the condemnation Kevin Spacey got for some bullshit that happened nearly 40 years ago

I cannot believe people are going along with this euphemism--"sleeping" with his students. So decorous. He was fucking his students

I’m sick of these fame-seeking passive aggressive whores making mountains out of mole hills. Walk out the door, Cunt!

He said that he jerks off at least 4 times a day.

R152 does he need some help with that?

I do think Franco was very kind to uplift the "career" of Tommy Wiseau, his movie was quite unintentionally hilarious. Otherwise he seems like a typical 21st century American straight male actor. They should just exorcise the entire city of Los Angeles.

His brand is done

[quote] Straight guys are not a fantasy. They are for eldergays raised to hate themselves. Threads about straight guys are always an age giveaway crawling with geriatrics.

This hurts. It's true, but it still hurts.

Watched some Spider-Man 3 today and man he was gorgeous. Beautiful cheekbones, clear skin, full lips and pretty brown eyes. He's too pretty to be fully straight. I can't see what benefit pandering to gays could have unleashed he's a little bit bisexual. Anyway, misused his authority but didn't break the law either. It was consensual sex and those women were attracted to him and wanted a career boost. I'm tired of people mixing the casting couch with rape.

I would not mind blowing off Franco for an A. Hell I'd do it for free. He nerds to go the John Mayer route and just fuck twinks. Less drama.

[quote] He's too pretty to be fully straight.

A bizarre conclusion.

He’s a self hating bisexual.

r159 is STOOPID!

His treatment vs Kevin spaceys and Bryan singers is an example of homophobia.

[quote] He nerds

So do I!

If Kevin Spacey had done what he did, he'd be in prison.

Didn't he basically say he considers himself straight because he isn't flaming?

R165, No he said he related to gays in ways other than sexually.

Being gay is only about sexuality.

The casting couch is unethical from both parts: the men who use their job to fuck women and hoes with no talent who use their bodies to get a role.

But I don't think it will ever end. Its perennial.

Still no job offers for James? Good

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The YouTube comments are pointing out it was consensual sex. I'm starting to think Franco was a sacrifice used to distract people's attention from the real predators out there. Weinstein was on trial when these accusations popped up and Epstein and Ghislaine was still being swept under the rug. It also does seem gay men are more likely to be "cancelled" and tarnished as pedos as opposed to straight men.

The YouTube comments are by his fangurls, the same ones who were screaming at his accusers four years ago.

He can fuck me ANYTIME!!!!!

Never got Franco's appeal, he's always looks dirty and greasy, like that fug Harry Styles.

on some level I feel bad for James because i think heterosexual men have sad and pitiful lives always feeling like they have to prove themselves by seducing women. I believe his fascination with gay culture is genuine and that if he had the choice, he would have been gay. He just doesn't get aroused by men. But I do think that emotionally he is attracted to gay culture.

[quote]I cannot believe people are going along with this euphemism--"sleeping" with his students. So decorous. He was fucking his students

Consenting adult students.

He is not attractive in person and quite short. I do not see his appeal unless he is hung...

and he's just using addiction as an excuse for all his bad behavior...so fucking obvious.

Fake cunt

I personally find the thought of being one of his students heavenly!!

[quote]He is not attractive in person and quite short. I do not see his appeal unless he is hung...

What does that even mean?

I don't believe in "sex addiction".

I do, however, wholly believe in shallow, narcissistic shites who fail to see why they should ever deprive themselves of any gratification that suits them. Why take on the complexities and labour of intimate relationships when you have easy pickings of attractive young flesh (at least until you yourself are no longer desirable)?

As for the poster upthread who said women hate sex, but not really whilst their hormones are still at high levels . . .

Male hormones decline with age, also, and your basic 50 year old male isn't the tiger he was at 20, either.

Women are people. They like sex when it's good. And if it often isn't . . . That's down to the selfish clods they do often end up in bed with. And if that happened more often than not, historically, it was because they were dependent on male protection for survival and stayed in marriages or other arrangements that have them roofs over their heads, food for them and their children, and social acceptably.

Speak of a misogynist dehumanisation.

Women don't hate sex.

But you really hate women.

I recently rewatched a Spider-Man he was in, and he’s just stunningly gorgeous. I’d have slept with him and not told!

Heterosexual men completely lack self awareness, as a masculine bisexual guy, whose predominantly in the heterosexual world and is assumed to be heterosexual myself and is only openly bisexual to a handful of people, I can confirm this

These are the same types of men who rant and rave and act like scared snowflakes over male homosexuality and it being “forced on them”, but push and promote female homosexuality and try to get their girlfriends and wives who they supposedly love to do stuff with another woman

So which group is blatantly pushing homosexuality?

R182 here now getting back to Franco, on one hand it’s morally wrong for a superior to sleep with his students but on the other hand if a female had done the same to her students, it would be considered hot and she wouldn’t feel the level of scorn that men get

Good thing that Franco didn’t sleep with any MALE students because that would be considered 10 times worse and many would even say he was raping those poor heterosexual men

But as I’m in my 30s and through my own life experiences, I have a hard time constantly having a straight guys back and thinking we’re bros and shit and defending them when a lot of times they always have something negative to say about male homosexuality/bisexuality, so that bond doesn’t exist at all

At this point, let them fend for themselves, I’ll continue doing my own thing and they can be miserable

[quote] on some level I feel bad for James because i think heterosexual men have sad and pitiful lives always feeling like they have to prove themselves by seducing women.

But I do think that emotionally he is attracted to gay culture.

What is "gay culture"?

One of the reasons I never became a teacher, aside from the low pay and my lack of patience, is that I'd have a hard time resisting hot legal students. It's not illegal (between consenting adults), but it's definitely unethical. Common sense.

Get rid of him, brother Dave is cuter and less annoying (though not by much).

R174 Please, don’t be ridiculous, James has perfected bone structure, which Harry Styles could only dream of.

R184 Gay culture just means the arts, humor and literature created by gay men and lesbians who formed a community together. Usually in areas like New York and San Francisco.

If Franco wants his career back, he needs to butch it up!

Grow a beard, start doing action films. His mistake was always relying on a female fanbase, that killed his career.

Say what you want about DiCaprio, but he knew when to ditch the pretty boy image and move on.

I don't think he was solely relying on his female base. His filmography is all over the place. He was doing a lot of bro comedies, adaptations of literature, indie roles, action roles, gay baiting roles and a soap opera role. His fanbase is probably a mix of fangirls, gays, fratbros and straight hipsters. Similar to Zac Efron.

R189 Oh, he "ditched" it, alright. More like he knew when it was over, not quite the same thing.

Leo got fat, greasy, hairy and his skin is sun-damaged. He only stopped being a pretty boy because he got lazy about his looks. As for his acting, he always aimed for meaty and provocative roles in his youth. He rubbed elbows with many important people in Hollywood. Once he got Titanic, he was at the top of the world and got the pick of any film he wants due to his relationship with Scorsese.

R192 Agree. HIs not (and will never be) a great actor, but he's good enough of one and a solid enough draw to be making top money for some time.

[quote] What exactly did he do that was criminal?

Here:

[quote] On October 3, 2019, two former students of Franco's now-closed film and acting school, Studio 4, filed a lawsuit against him and his partners. According to The New York Times, the complaint alleged that the program "was little more than a scheme to provide him and his male collaborators with a pool of young female performers that they could take advantage of." The case claimed that pupils were subjected to "sexually exploitative auditions and film shoots" and had to sign away their rights to the recordings.The litigants sought unspecified monetary damages as well as the return or destruction of any questionable material. Franco has denied the plaintiffs' claims through his attorney.

[quote] On February 21, 2021, it was reported that the lawsuit was settled and that, according to documents filed on February 11, both students had agreed to drop their individual claims. The deal was submitted for preliminary court approval by March 15, 2021. In June 2021, terms of the settlement were revealed, and it was disclosed that Franco, pending a judge's approval, would pay more than $2.2 million to resolve two different legal disputes: one by the two women who cited sexual exploitation (they will receive $894,000), and another class-action plaint by approximately 1,500 Studio 4 students who maintain that they were defrauded. A joint statement by the plaintiffs and defendants reads in part: "While Defendants continue to deny the allegations in the Complaint, they acknowledge that Plaintiffs have raised important issues; and all parties strongly believe that now is a critical time to focus on addressing the mistreatment of women in Hollywood."

Who the HELL would claim to be victimized after getting fucked by James Franco??

Leo was always talented, bitches. Thats not what im talking about.

And he ditched the pretty boy phase of his career because when Titanic came out, no straight men would said they liked him. But when he got ugly, greasy and started dating women half his age, straight men started worshipping him, they love that trashy shit.

Personally I like the in between of these two periods, when he was more hairy, thick but not fat.

DL fave Franco needs to do action stuff...or europe.

And to think that if none of this had happened, James would be opening an onlyfans account. We were robbed.

R194 This names nothing he did that was criminal or deserving of scorn on such a grand platform - fucking students? Who gives a shit? He just didn't give these women a career boost, that's why they feel "exploited." Just fucking your hot celebrity professor isn't enough these days!

R196 Unpopular opinion but I think DiCaprio was most attractive in The Departed. I wish he had maintained that look.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

This is what he looks like when he doesn't go to the gym for a few weeks.

More fat Franco pics.

R159, I might get this wrong as it was from Medieval Philosophy class in sophomore year ( 1970s) but I was taught ultimately one needs first principles from which to argue. These are not questioned. In Datalounge land "He is too beautiful to be straight" is a first principle to be accepted not questioned.

Oh no, I can't sop throwing my legs in the air to james fracno!

spoken like a true frau..

I too don't think he's fully straight, but unlike r159, not because of his looks but his obsession with gay culture and, especially, gay sex which most straight men tend to be grossed out by. When he was shooting Milk, he paid a gay prostitute to let him watch him and his trick have sex, only, of course, for research purposes - totally unnecessary.

He might talk about it if they allow him to continue his apology tour. I know he's dipping his toe in the pool to see how he's received. Many straight-identifying sex addicts blame their addiction for their same sex activity so Franco could be going in that direction.

He did a good job playing James Dean in that bland TNT biopic. It’s a shame he turned out the way he did.

R204 I agree but it’s still incredibly taboo for a male actor whose a sex symbol to admit to same sex encounters

Because almost ALL straight people, who make up a majority of the world and run society, are grossed out by two men together, even “liberal “ straight people women

Two women together on the other hand….

"James Franco shouldn't have to apologize for any of it, but in this age of #metoo, even if a man shakes a woman's hand, she accuses him of sexually molesting her."

Well, I guess a ridiculous exaggeration is some kind of logic to you.

R204 & R206, don't polls today show that the large majority of straight people support same-sex marriage?

R208 yes they do but they’re still grossed out or uncomfortable with male/male sex

I know straight women who’ve gone to gay pride parades who are uncomfortable seeing two men sexually

R204 Sounds like the movie "Shame." Michael Fassbender's character was straight and a sex addict, but toward the end of the movie, he went to a gay sauna and had sex with a guy.

R209 I think for a lot straight women they are indeed grossed out at the thought of two men having sex. Two men kissing though? Not so much.

[quote]Michael Fassbender's character was straight and a sex addict, but toward the end of the movie, he went to a gay sauna and had sex with a guy

The straight Italian pornstar Rocco Siffredi also blames his sex addiction for leading to have sex with men and transvestites. I think even Charlie Sheen had the same excuse.

Beady eyed creep. Like Billy Porter. Small, beady eyes.

Straights like eunuched Hallmark gays who act like middle-aged ladies. They don't like sexy, confident gays with jump from guy to the next and will kiss and grope their man in public.

What r214?

R215 Straight people are intimidated by gay and bi men who live their defiantly. They want us to be cute, wholesome, respectable and married with two kids in the suburbs. Cookie-cutter clones with no individuality. Preferably fem, ditzy and docile.

Gay and bi men who refuse heteronormative expectations and are happy being single, promiscuous and doing whatever they please irritates them. Especially if they're masculine, assertive and confident.

That's why most gay male representation on TV is for comic relief. Flamboyantly, flaming and very effeminate but harmless gays who do something stereotypically wholesome like owning a cupcake shop or a dance studio.

R200 That‘s not fat look, that’s a dadbod at worst. He still had plenty of muscles and there was nothing flabby about Looks like he still had a good supply of testosterone. And let’s not pretend he doesn’t clean up nicely. He has great genetics….

R209 Who cares?

He's bisexual. I don't know why he's so uptight about it.

I remember the movie where he played the guy who got trapped in the rocks and had to cut off his arm to survive. In a way it was metaphorical for Franco's self-destructive habits.

deep thoughts, r221.

OP title should have read: BEFUDDLING CASE OF HOLLYWOOD SUCCESS ADMITS TO... etc, etc.

So he just gave an interview and disappeared? Whats next for our favorite artiste Franco?

Begging for a job

Anal bleaching

I worked background on The Deuce. JF is not a nice person.

R227 I don’t think anyone ever claimed JF was a nice person

Deets r227?

R229 yes. :)

R227, I worked background twice on The Deuce. This was after the accusations came out, and he seemed determined on both occasions to not interact with anyone, just chain-smoke between takes. What were your experiences?

Thought for a while he had to be bi. Gay baiting or bi?

like a sex addict is not going to have a threesome or suck or whatever on coke or molly...duh

He's probably bi, r232. No straight guy gets that into gay sex.
