weird

It almost pairs too well with this:

The highly acclaimed actor recently snapped this risqué photo of himself in front of the mirror and loaded it to Instagram for all of his 1.9 million followers to see. It wasn't until an hour after posting it that he decided to remove the photo.

It seems ol' Franco is enjoying the explicit attention these days with just recently stirring up some controversy after videos and texts were leaked from an underaged girl being pursued by the 35-year-old.

James Franco is a Showbiz stud who is generally thought of as not having a problem getting the girls he goes after. 17-year-old Lucy Clode from Scotland got a look at the movie star's romantic tenacity when she met him at an autograph signing in New York. After making an Instagram video of him and being told to tag him (and oh, she did) things started to get weird. Luckily for us, she decided to document the whole creepy correspondence.

Clode and Franco soon started direct messaging one another where she tells him that she's in New York with her mom for her 18th birthday (which isn't until next month). That doesn't seem to slow down old Franco.



Clode eventually turned him down after the DMs turned to texts, but to prove that it was really him, Franco wrote her name on a piece of paper and sent her a photo of him holding it.



The exchange started circulation the internet and soon Franco had this in a response:
