James Franco Does Stuff

So…the last time I checked, James Franco was a full-time actor/casual host of casual award shows like the Oscars. Because actors are actors and occasional hosts of award shows and that is what makes Hollywood balanced and normal, right? Wrong. This entire time I’ve been under the impression that James Franco was just another pretty face, but unbeknownst to me, he is so, so much more. Ugh!

 

Besides searching up James Franco pictures in copious amounts on Google Images, I’ve never really taken the time to get to know him. Like really know him. Like really know him on personal levels. And who can blame me, really? When his appearance is so distracting?

 

Rapidly accumulating random things to add to his growing resume, (that includes conceptual artist, grad student, teacher, musician, journalist, director and film critic), James Franco is hardly another one of Hollywood’s one-trick ponies. Most recently announcing that he would indeed be a monthly columnist for Playboy, Franco has solidified his notoriety for being…busy.

 

So here is a list of the many side projects Franco has embarked on. Some are weirder than others, but generally, they’re all pretty interesting and he remains consistently attractive. So there’s that.

And an Academy Award nominated one, at that.
