I thought, He has to be in his 80’s. Actually, no, he died in ‘91 at age 57, from emphysema. Fwiw, he was a 4 packs a day smoker until he wasn’t.

It should have been a pure moment of triumph for James Franco. He collected one of Hollywood’s top prizes at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, validating an untraditional career in which he’s been a bankable leading man, Ivy League academic and eccentric auteur.
But as he stood on the ballroom stage, some were paying more attention to the Time’s Up pin on his lapel than the gold statue he picked up for his turn in “The Disaster Artist.”

There’ll probably be 5 men, too, before it’s all over with; JD has openly alluded to being Bi.
Look at this slippery slope. We’ve gone from rape, to assault, to sexual harassment to now “inappropriate” and “sexually exploitative” behavior. The first two are wrong and always deserve sanction, the second depends on the facts and who knows what the last two even mean.
I had no idea who he was, but his wikipedia page indicates that, at age 37, he was trying to hook up with a 17 year old.
Et tu, liberals?
I have never heard of this person nor of this movie.

These are the folks who lecture the rest of us on how to behave.
I read the article. The claims run the gamut from what I would consider true sexual assault to “morning after” regret, and pretty much everything in between.
It’s just “their truth”, like the Oprah said.
They “feel” it.
Actually, this one has wide implications since part of what they are complaining about is him treating and portraying women as hopeless little wh*res who only respond to being abused. We have plenty of sewer “art” but not nearly enough that inspires virtue and uplifts.
The “Times Up” movement increasingly looks like nothing more than the people who are the problem trying to steer this away from Hollywood corruption and abuse, putting the genie back in the bottle, and resuming business as usual.
Franco is being accused of ‘inappropriate’ behavior during the filming of an orgy scene as part of of workshop on he was teaching about how to appear in sex scenes.
The grayest of gray areas as far as I’m concerned.
A close friend of mine - a highly accomplished, well respected industry vet - directed Franco in a movie. Said he was an unprofessional individual in every respect. After that, every time Franco’s name appeared on a casting list for one of my projects, I drew a line through it.
Shocked it was women.
I still don’t know who he is. I must be out of touch.
My take on Franco is that is that he is a B actor although some people consider him a A list one.
Think he played the time traveling Jake Epping in mini series Stephen King’s 11-22-63
Still annoying that all these people are coming out from the bushes. Sorry but it you didn’t go to the police or file a complaint to the Hollywood union, I think it stinks for them to do so now when all the attention is out there.
Well when you have Senator candidates doing the same thing, kinda hard to blame just liberals.
