9 Things You Didn’t Know About Heartthrob James Franco
6. Kudos to this multi talented guy who has different passions and is also a licensed pilot. To prepare for his role in movie ‘Flyboys’, he took some flying lessons. So happy was he flying that he couldn’t resist going all the way and after practicing every day for three months, Franco was licensed to fly.
7. Someone had once snapped an infamous photo of him falling asleep during a lecture at Columbia. Thereafter he was quoted saying he became paranoid about dozing off in public, like on the subway or an Amtrak train, because he worries that someone will snap another photo of him snoozing.
8. A weird aspect about Franco is that he doesn’t like to sleep; he considers it a waste of time. So instead of sleeping he does homework for his movie roles and says he keeps his computer in a protective case because he often falls asleep from exhaustion while he’s working and the laptop falls to the floor.
9. James Franco’s mom is a celebrated children’s book writer and he aspires to write a few like her too. ‘Mathematickles’, ‘Messing Around on the Monkey Bars’ and ‘A Curious Collection of Cats’ are some of the books his mother wrote.
