David Letterman, HQ, James Franco 1/2, 11/20/08

[RubyFOB]

What happened to part 2? :(

[JameelaTiffanieMejia]

omg he's just brilliant i love him so much.

[abeille344]

I think I start by the end. I'm gonna try to be clearer. Here, he explain that after he did the kiss scene, he was applauded by 200 people. Why ? He just did his job as actor. It was not a coming out. And since this time, James did a lot of gay stuff, because it's cool, he's hot, open mind, a fucking ace etc... But he failed at the Oscars as a drag. Blame the writers ? Maybe. To do that kind of joke, be sure that the people have no doubt about your sexual orientation. That's my point !

[crearusername]

he totally stole my heart with Milk ...and then 127 hours...he is such an amazing actor.

[kanupriya17]

where's part two?

[quickandcool]

why the hell is he so hot <3 so classy!

[ChicoBlancoFilms]

type in "The Harrison House Trailer" on youtube.

a 600 film that's already generating Oscar buzz

[EnuiaGeo]

Where can I find part 2?;O

[Scriptease123]

@EnuiaGeo If you watch the vid titled "James Franco and David Letterman kiss you see most of it.

[EnuiaGeo]

@Scriptease123 K, thx!^^

[abeille344]

What a crazy society !!! Some people really want that this actor turning gay !!! For me, it's an another stupidity of James Franco to have attention on him, after the stupid idea of dressed as Marlyn Monroe in Oscars. James Franco is at the same level of Lindsay Lohan. Just enough talented to play on soap and doing front of celebrity magazine and other junk like that.

[itisiCarlosdDwarf]

@abeille344 LMFAO! He is an actor who doesn't shy when it comes to risky roles (the way other actors do), That is a professional actor. He also is an ardent supporter of gay rights. Lindsey Lohan wtf? save you petty comments

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf I express my opinion. You're not agree. I don't mind !

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf To support gay rights, you don't have to make a blow job on your films ! What's next ? He's gonna be fuck by a man ? Yeah ! Yeah ! Just acting, and what a great actor ! He's great actor for you because he's drag, kissing men. That's cool for you. It's hot ! If he's great actor, why is so difficult to him to have a lead role and big success ? 127 Hours is not enough. His audience is students, gays... That's not a large audience.

[itisiCarlosdDwarf]

@abeille344 Are you always so homophobic or is this a special occasion?

Dude, whoever u r...…GET A LIFE!!

Why all the hate?... is it bcoz he looks the way u wanna look, he gives BJ the way u wanna give BJ's, is it bcoz he's talented or is it coz he is free in all the ways u will never b?

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf Personnal attack and easy argument, you don't understand what I was saying. It's a reflex on this society to conclude each time you critic gays, that you're surely homophobe or have a personnal problem. But where do you see that I hate gays ? I just express the idea of supporting gays doesn't mean that you have to kiss men like this actor, did or dessed as a woman like he did in Oscars. That's too much ! Respect doesn't mean you have to change your identity.

[itisiCarlosdDwarf]

@abeille344 He played Scott Smith in Harvey Milk biopic,he played Allen Ginsberg in Howl the scripts had kissing scenes he did them... its called "acting" thats his work he is an a-c-t-o-r... he is not changing his identity he is playing a role in a movie. And who gets to say whats too much and whats not too much...

i dunno why i waste my time with ppl like you.

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf He didn't play just one character. He's always turning around gays and James Dean. What did he present this year at Venice and Toronto ? Two gay films ! And he declared to Playboy Magazine that it's cool if people think he's gay. He was drag at the Oscars and two times before. He made a blow job on other film. He read gay books. Jesus ! Just acting ? It's a fixation. I read about him : Is he gay, straight, bi? Which identity he has ? I don't invented it.

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf Other thing, the audience of this actor is immature, very young. What about the rumours that he was stoned at the Oscars ? What's that shit ? It was in the news : What's wrong with James Franco ? Is it the success of Pineapple Express (it was just acting, yeah just acting) people think he smoke tweeds ? He scrap his hosting. Have you read the critics ? Desaster ! And Your Highness, A BIG FLOP ! Yeah ! Cool James ! And he didn't had time to do the Oscars just have to say NO !

[abeille344]

@itisiCarlosdDwarf Bcoz he looks the way u wanna look you said. It's the opposite. I want that this actor has real big success, not just with gays and students. In Rise Of The Apes he had success, but he was not the lead. Critics didn't believe in his role. His performance was not bad but not excellent. Because, he's too much acting for acting. You don't believe in his character. Large audience mean people who have steady job, children, house, you know. Franco's image, single, no child, and gay?

[peroestoesimposible]

@abeille344 A great movie/performance is the one that really leaves an impression on you, not on the box office. Critics may like/dislike but in the end you decide what's good or not. And good actors r those who hev had their fair share of bad movies but add charisma to their characters even when playing unlikeable ones.Franco is probally my favorite actor, mainly because of his charisma.

[abeille344]

@peroestoesimposible Of course, a great movie is not always equal to success at box office. Transformers 3 did a excellent score at box offfice. Does it mean it's great movie ? I know. But where's his charisma in Rise of The Apes ? Make me laugh ! He has charisma for you when he's playing gay character, because you're proabably gay. And that's my point. He has no charisma to catch a large audience.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 GOSH I can´t believe there are people like you out there...

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 I'm surely horrible to you. I know ! But I realized something recently and it's not the actor's fault. Gay rights are more a political question, a symbol of tolerance in our society. But for me, it's clear that respect means respect for all (gays, Black, Jewish, etc...) But respect means living your life in peace, and It's good for everybody. You're not agree but you let them go. But I don't have to kiss a man to proove that I have nothing against gays, just stay myself. Clearer?

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 I see your point, but it´s obvious that you´re not actor nor you understand a thing about acting. You´re overrating a kiss, it´s just a kiss and he´s not trying to proove anything. I´m sorry but I read all of your comments and you obvioulsy have something against gay people and their "lifestyle", even though you said you don´t.

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 Sorry ! It's not just a kiss. Kiss is personnal and mean sexual desire, love. Okay ! Here, it's not a kiss on the lips, but recently the pope kiss on the lips another man. Okay ! It was a tricked picture but you can't take it like nothing there. There are certain things that you have to respect.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 I´m not defending them just because I´m a gay man, there are certain things that I don´t like either but you have to open your mind and understand that people are free and have the right to kiss and love whoever they want without being judged.

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 You absolutely don't understand what I was saying. As a gay man, you can kiss another gay man if you want, no problem for me. But my point is : Why two straight men do that ? To proove they have nothing against gays ? Too much ! Just let them live their lifes without judgement, that's all.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 so, what you´re saying is that they should hire a blind person to play a blind, a disabled to play a disabled, a deaf to play a deaf, a schizophrenic to play a schizophrenic, they are acting!!! and let me tell you something, if you´re straight and you´re completely secure of your sexual identity and orientation, you could kiss a guy without a problem, but on the contrary, if you have doubts, then it would be different...

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 I know an actor can play different characters. That's not my point ! And it's not a question of being secure it's a question of RESPECT. You said : You could kiss a guy without problem, You're wrong ! What's the difference between gay and straight men if they all kiss on lips ? A prostitute doesn't kiss on lips because she's not in love with clients, just business. Prostitutes have more respect for themselves than gays like you who pretend having an open mind... but no heart.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 what are you talking about?? As a gay man, I can´t kiss a girl because it would be disrespectful? I don´t have the right to kiss a girl just because confused people like you would find it disrespectful? there is NO difference between gays and straights OK? NONE! you think you´re manlier or something? haha be a man in life, who cares about who you sleep with as soon as you are a good person.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 you said I have no heart? who are you to say such a thing? you dont know me!. You said you´re not homophobic but you´re trying to remark the differences between gays and straights! why do want to find differences? What are you so affraid of? If you really believe in all the things you wrote, then it´s not me who lacks of a heart.

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 I was pretty sure that you gonna say to me that I'm homophobe. It's a reflex for gays who have no argument. I'm not affraid of you. When I say that you have no heart, it was not to hurt you. That was not my purprose. You have heart, for sure. But my point was about your comment : You could kiss a guy without problem, Yes it's a problem. I kiss on the lips if I'm in love and I give you the exemple of the prostitutes. They dont' kiss on lips because that's just sex, not love.

[mathrod20]

@abeille344 I don´t know anything about prostitutes, sorry but I´ve never slept with one. Look, you´re trying to put up a wall where it shouldn´t exist. A gay man and a straight man just have different sexual orientation but that´s it. I don´t know what you do when you´re alone in your room and I don´t care about it because you´re free to do whatever you feel like. I don´t know you either but I´m pretty sure you´re not a saint to judge people just because they kiss on the lips.

[abeille344]

@mathrod20 Why do you remove your comment ? Anyway ! I read it !

[InfamousM3dia]

James Franco is such a boss, so accomplished.

[leonskiies]

James Franco, will you marry me?

[TopazScorpio909]

so cute

[johanjon74]

i wish guys like james franco existed i have a friend just like him i know how kind and awesome they are

[caligrl106]

lol i can see why he was hired by casting people. he has the right personality

[alyann39]

Naked men playing basketball...playing a gay boyfriend... are you trying to hint towards something James!??? *Please no negative comments! I'm not homophobic at all, nor do I think James is actually gay. I'm just making a joke!

[cisdac]

@alyann39 Why target the idea of him just being gay? I'm sure there are bisexuals in the world, but your play on a specific word? I think you're projecting your own sexual insecurities. No worries! This day and age many people of all walks of life (gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered etc...). So, no more beating around the bush (pun intended).

[alyann39]

He'll be going to the University of Houston at the same time as me in the Fall of 2012 in the SAME Master's program!!! OMG! I've always had a HUGE crush on James! I'm so excited!!!

[Supaduck0]

@alyann39 ask him for a date

[OnePineTree]

I just love him so much!!!!!

[africanbeautyqueen89]

[jww047]

@littlecutekitty no

[cjthetransformer22]

@LootieMcNootie He's way too smart to do something dumb. Like, do "gay shit behind closed doors." You got it all wrong, after Freaks and Geeks..everyone loved him. He had it pretty easy after that. You're ridiculous.

[ilikethewordrandom]

everything about him just makes me smile xD

[DrumL3000]

[Summer10001]

Great interview!  Love him!

[amandaxoxobeatles]

he is so sexy

:)

[princesshkumar]

just because you kiss a guy in a movie doesn't mean ur gay!!!!

[mafiaofdoom]

Usually it does.

[Cobraplato]

@princesshkumar it means ur bi-curious

[invisigoth841]

@princesshkumar TO BE FAIR James Franco is one of the world's gayest heterosexuals.

[alyann39]

@invisigoth841 Thumbs up to that! That's the perfect way to put it!

[ImNOTanOLIVE]

I LOVE James Franco!!! He's just so adorably sexy and charming and I love the way he gushes all the time, I always get such a kick out of his interviews!

[wachibonk]

mannnnn..Youtube is getting more awesome with the wider screen. Awesome!!! Btw, james's also awesome too. Love 'em!

[sandyw239]

scruff cute

[NERDYhooker]

He is adorable.

[na2808]

why should we argue about his sexuality....

what if he is gay...then what,,,?

he's great actor,, that's a given. then end of discussion.. unless u are personally involved with James.

[Imaginaryflower]

why are americans so uptight about nudity? it's moronic

[JAMESJEAMESJAMES]

Great interview. Has James lost alot of weight for his latest movie?

[mec24609]

Why doesn't Dave ask James about his love life like he does to most handsome young actors? "so, James, who's your girlfriend?" you know, that sort of question :)

[JANINEFORDMODELS411]

i don't know, but i everybody pretty much knows he's dating Ahna O'Reily. They been dating for a while now, I think since 2006. they've been photographed at his movie premieres, in New York, LAX so yeah, were out of luck with James ladies :-)

[elgranmatteo]

James Franco is reacting like that because he has to play the game...David is to blame for sure, what a great reactionnary way to talk about Milk..

Moreover, let me tell you that James is not 100% straight, I know him.

[BentHenny]

You know him in what way?

Are you saying he is bi or that you have slept with him?

[JANINEFORDMODELS411]

I find it hard to believe that James Franco raped or could have raped anybody. Aside from his character, a man that fine gets it thrown at him on a daily basis from girls who are more than willing I'm sure to get it on with James. Plus, he has a girlfriend and has had one since 2006.

[indicatoto101]

James marched for one of the anti-Prop 8 rallies so give him a break. I'm a gay man that would laugh when saying I'm playing someone's boyfriend.

[joeytj]

Yeah, you do sound bitter. First of all, James Franco has always been like that, smiling shyly (he's so cute when he does that!). Second, even straight actors get embarrassed about guy on girl kiss scenes sometimes. James marched againts the passage of Prop 8 the other day.

That being said, i'm dying to see Milk. I've already read some reviews, and it looks like just the thing we need for the these new times. Have hope.

[jvilleroses]

MILK WAS GREAT! i hope you saw it already a great, but sad story ")

[Leer131124]

Great videos.
