Late Show with James Franco

Eager to prepare for the upcoming press junkets for his new movies, Howl and 127 Hours, James Franco borrowed the Late Show set from David Letterman for a few hours and spent that time interviewing himself.

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. 

Book Club With James Franco

Esquire magazine recently revealed that James Franco was reading the Twilight series, setting off a series of reports linking the actor to the movie franchise. In actuality, Franco was preparing for his Friday book club meeting, which started three weeks ago when Franco met Becky, 14, Erin 12 and Erin’s mom Sammy in the young adult section of his local library. The four friends have also made arrangements to see the next Harry Potter movie together. They are all really excited.

Franco mustache talk

James Franco met up with Burt Reynolds in an undisclosed alley. The meeting was arranged so the ever curious Franco could discuss facial hair and male grooming with one of his mustachioed idols. Although the conversation topic and the location seemed unseemly, the discussion that ensued was top shelf.

Juan Franquez

James Franco was so impressed with the fair trade coffee he purchased this morning from a small coffee shop in the Lower East Side he promptly got on a plane and flew to Guatemala where he visited the Manos Campesinas Fair Trade Coffee Cooperative. While there Franco got a tour of the co-op and befriended a farmer named Julio. They are now Facebook friends.
