James Franco on Trump: 'I've spiraled into a depression'
The Hill ^ | January 23, 2017 | Judy Kurtz

James Franco, who stripped down in an eyebrow-raising video supporting Hillary Clinton, says he’s “spiraled into a depression” following the Democratic presidential nominee’s election loss to President Trump.

“I mean, I’ve been reacting really badly!” the actor, star of the new film “I am Michael,” tells The Daily Beast in an article published Monday.

“I’ve spiraled into a depression and I’ve been questioning everything that I am, and how I’ve been doing things,” Franco, 38, says.

The performer made headlines when he bared some skin last fall as part of an ad campaign dubbing Clinton “the most interesting woman in the world,” launched by groups supporting the White House hopeful.

More recently, Franco was among those who appeared at the Los Angeles “women’s march” on Saturday — one of several held around the country in protest of Trump’s inauguration.

The Academy Award nominee acknowledged to The Daily Beast in the interview, “It’s been a rough few months.”

Well, if he’s down in the dumps, I’m feeling as good as I have in eight years so, on balance, all’s right with the world!

And note to Franco, being sad is not depression.

He said, "“I mean, I’ve been reacting really badly!”

He could have said, "“I mean, I’ve been acting really badly!”

I wouldn’t like it if H won, but my life goes on as before. Politics and Government are not my life.

I would still go to work, take my kids to school, etc.

I would not be happy about the result, but it wouldn’t affect my life in any tangible way. I would not be depressed.

What are they resisting? Freedom?

Yes. They crave fascism because they were going to be in charge.

Agreed and that is how most of us handled it 4 and 8 years ago. If you are down about something concentrating on work and duties helps focus your mind elsewhere instead of obsessing. Franco I guess being an actor has a lot of down time and thus has as the poster above said the luxury of depression.
