2579 Steps

Excited by the news that Danny Boyle's new movie 127 Hours will be playing at TIFF, James Franco decided to channel the energy of his character in the film, Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder for nearly five days. Franco felt the best way to expel this energy was through a physical challenge, so he spent the day climbing all 2,579 steps of Toronto's CN tower, starting from the tower's base and ending up in the skypod.

James Franco Punchout

Franco beats 3D

 
Teen Choice Award-nominee James Franco announced today that he has successfully completed six months of diligent training and can now watch 3D movies without the need for 3D glasses. He claims to have spent four hours a day for the past six months working with both an ophthalmologist and a Zen Buddhist monk to achieve this impressive feat. Franco admits that he now sees the real world as slightly blurred, but he feels this annoyance is minor compared with the opportunity to watch Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore 3D without the aggravation of ill-fitting tinted lenses.

Franco goes to the birds

James Franco was spotted this morning on the Louisiana coastline, playing a cassette tape of self-made bird calls for the seagulls in the area. When asked what inspired this newfound interest in bird-calling, the up-and-coming author claimed that his tape was a self-penned story from the point of view of a seagull named Beatrice who lost her husband as a result of the BP oil spill. Franco penned the tale because he felt it was crucial for the birds to hear the story in their own language so as to properly understand this tragic point in their history. The story takes a sudden turn in the final act, as it turns out Beatrice used the oil spill as a cover to murder her husband after she finds him pecking around with a younger chick.

Franco in the park

Worried that a hectic schedule is eroding his abilities as an actor, James Franco decided to spend all day rehearsing Shakespeare in the park. He rounded up some classmates to join him, offering them each 20 bucks and free passes to his next movie.

Unhappy with the added attention James Franco decided to move the rehearsals to the back yard of his friend Ron's parents house in Jersey.

Franco Vs.

Inspired by ABC's Shaq Vs, James Franco decided to spend the day challenging members of the entertainment industry at their own crafts.

He wasted all morning trying to convince John Mayer to participate in a guitar competition, but Mayer politely declined.

Franco then tried to challenge Chris Rock to see who could come up with the best YO MAMA joke. Rock was confused by the request and couldn’t understand why his mother was being verbally attacked by the guy from Pineapple Express.

In the late afternoon, Franco was finally able to convince the rapper Common to square off in a rap battle. The battle went down inside a small bar in the heart of Brooklyn. It turns out Franco is a horrible rapper – he was practically booed off stage. Nevertheless Common was excited to have participated and looks forward to doing it again.

One With Nature
