In a recent magazine interview with The New York Magazine, the 38-year-old actor had this to say regarding his often questioned sexuality: "Yeah, I’m a little gay, and there’s a gay James... If your definition of gay and straight is who I sleep with, then I guess you could say I’m a gay c--k tease. It’s where my allegiance lies, where my sensibilities lie, how I define myself."
In other words, he's never slept with a man. As for why people have been questioning his sexual leanings, it mostly kicked off when the actor decided to interview himself for FourTwoNine magazine. He had two guises was “Straight James Franco” talking to “Gay James Franco.” The article included such quotes as “I like to think that I’m gay in my art and straight in my life... Although, I’m also gay in my life up to the point of intercourse, and then you could say I’m straight."
As it happens, Franco is currently promoting a film called King Cobra, which he wrote and stars in. Inspired by the 2007 murder of gay adult film star Bryan Kocis, Franco plays a gay porn star called Joe.
Speaking of Franco; does Lindsay Lohan's new fiancee, billionaire Egor Tarabasov, remind you of anyone at all? Like, even remotely?
