Just Because I Have a Thing For James Franco

I cannot lie.  I have a thing for James Franco; I’ve been trying to avoid it because a few people told me that they thought my oldest son looks like James Franco.  So I’m having my fantasies, my Francosies, and all of a sudden my kid’s face pops up out of the blue.  Absolutely.  Horrible.

Anyway, I’ve decided that I don’t think my spawn looks anything like Franco, which frees me up to lick my laptop screen during all four-and-a-half minutes of this video from Funny or Die.  Do I think the video is funny?  Who knows?  Who cares?  It’s James Franco, people!  My attentions are focused elsewhere.

  • I have a thing for him too.
    Aspie looks nothing like him. Except similar coloring, but that’s not uncommon. Lick away!

    (that did not sound quite like i wanted it to)

  • I feel your pain baby, as my oldest son looks just like Queen Latifah, whose tuna I’ve wanted to catch in my net and make salad with for years. I finally gave up and just started focusing on my daughter, who looks just like Pam Grier when she had her bitchin’ fro. I’m that close to doing a body slam on my own personal Foxy Brown, before Tarantino trys to get a piece of this shit.

    • This post isn’t funny, just sort of stupid sounding. If you’re going for the offensive shock effect write less.

      • I think J.F. proves himself in Pineapple Express. I know this because he plays a character that I would never, in my right mind, be attracted to, but he totally does it for me anyways. I think he’s good at what he does and will eventually do even better. I mean, at least he’s no Ryan Reynolds, who will never grow beyond his Nickelodeon “Fifteen” days.

  • I’ve had a thing for Franco for the past 3 yrs now & it hasn’t subsided!!
    My blog of admiration for him will explain it all!
    (And he’s young enough to be MY SON!!)

  • has anyone discovered his brother Dave Franco? they look pretty similar. I am pretty obsessed w/ both of them

    • After reading your comment I immediately went to check him out and WOAH, I’m in love. I’ve liked James for a while, but he’s got a lady friend and Dave is a little nearer my age, although he needs to be on TV more. Thanks for giving me a new celebrity crush.

  • woah, that went completely off the rails by the end, huh? I love James Franco, he doesn’t fall into the “it’s funny cause you’re cute” trap because he seems to be quite smart. He’s still absolutely amazingly gorgeous though, and i effin love that Gucci commercial for serious.

  • he was especially delicious on the show “Freaks and Geeks”
    he has a james dean quality to him that is irresistible.

  • My god, you are right. I have been in love with him since..spiderman, I think. I don’t know. I just know that he is BEAUTIFUL.

    • Please don’t interpret this as in any way anti-gay, but I’m tempted to say that I almost can’t believe that any gay man could portray James Franco’s character in Pineapple Express with such slack-tasticalness. I just don’t think it’s possible.

      • people said the same thing about Neil Patrick Harris & the character he plays on How I Met Your Mother & he pulls it off pretty well.

  • That wasn’t very clever, but I laughed so hard. I don’t know why I thought that was so funny, but it was haha.

    JAMES FRANCO PLAYS GAY… AGAIN

    Rumors have swirled about James Franco’s sexuality for a while now, but the MILK star insists that he’s as straight as an arrow. While rumors swirl, it’s been announced that Franco has accepted the part of homosexual poet Allen Ginsberg in the forthcoming biopic HOWL, his second gay role in as many years. Asked about taking on back-to-back gay roles, Franco tells the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: “(It) don’t make any difference to me. Ginsberg has been one of my heroes and this movie is just so important. “I’m playing him when he was in his late twenties, just after he went to Columbia (University).”

    (Just some FYI)
