James Franco: A talented actor with many disabilities, "sneaking" Johnny Depp back and forth with Amber Heard

Contrary to his sublime career, this handsome male star's private life is not very good. James Franco was labeled a "playboy" by the public for his rude behavior towards women while teaching at an acting school. He even had to pay 2.2 million USD (more than 50 billion VND) because they sued him in court.

The "talented" actor, addicted to sex, sleeps with students

James Franco was born on April 19, 1978 in Palo Alto, California (USA), is a real Hollywood actor.

As a child, James Edward Franco was born into a family with a strong tradition in the arts. Both his father and mother are poets and editors working for many years. The 7x male actor has 3 mixed bloodlines between Portuguese, Swedish and Jewish origin. Therefore, since he was a young boy, James Franco was soon praised by everyone for having a handsome face and bright smile.

When he was a freshman at the University of California, the young man suddenly dropped out to pursue an acting career. Despite the harsh opposition of his family, he was determined to go to the end. After only 15 months of studying acting, the first lead role James Franco took on was in the short film Freaks and Geeks in 1999. This is considered the launch pad for his later success in the Hollywood movie capital later.

In 2001, with the role of James Dean in the work of the same name, James Franco was honored to receive the Golden Globe Award and 2 nominations at the Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Following the success, the actor was "chosen to send gold" in the blockbuster Spider-Man (2002). Unfortunately, although James Franco was originally promoted to play the lead role, this position was later transferred to Tobey Maguire. And he plays Harry Osborn - the son of the film's villain. The following parts of Spider-Man, James Franco do not have too much acting space, but are still highly appreciated by experts.

In the period 2003 - 2008, the 7x male star worked hard in movies, with a series of outstanding works such as: The Company (2013), Tristan & Isolde (2006), The Dead Girl (2007),... The pinnacle of his film career James Franco's photo must include the role of Aron Ralston in 127 Hours (2010). It earned him a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars.

No one can deny Franco's acting talent. However, amateurs are a typical example of the saying "many talents have many defects". Franco was repeatedly accused of sexually abusing women and students. In 2014, James Franco was accused of inviting a 17-year-old girl through the social network Instagram.

In the same year, actress Ally Sheedy revealed that she was molested by her senior when they were both in a Broadway play. Therefore, when witnessing the scene where Franco was honored at the 2018 Golden Globe, the actress could not contain her frustration.

Ally Sheedy wrote: "James Franco just won. Never ask why I'm leaving the film/TV industry. Nice Time's Up badge, James Franco. I remember trying my head down to my genitals, or when you were going to invite my friend to a hotel when she was 17?"

Things did not stop there. In October 2019, two actresses and former students, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, filed a lawsuit against James Franco for sexual harassment.

They allege that when Studio 4, the school founded by Franco, was still in operation, the actor forced students to perform sex scenes in front of the camera. These scenes are staged in a perverted and deviant way, beyond Hollywood studio labor standards.

Franco took advantage of the teaching to assemble and sexually exploit a group of young women. Franco's students were led to believe that they would get a role in the actor's film if they agreed to the demands made.

After 2 years of pursuing the lawsuit, the actor had to pay $ 2.2 million to close the shocking sex scandal.

However, Franco denies that he opened an acting school just to have the opportunity to enter this kind of love:

"I admit that I had sex with some students at my acting school. But I didn't do it with any of the students who attended a training class specializing in hot scenes. ". However, in the process of teaching acting, I had a romantic relationship with some students, and now I know that it is wrong.

Like I said, I don't open the school to have the opportunity to pursue such romantic relationships, I'm not the one to choose the students. So it wasn't a well-crafted plan on my part.

But indeed in certain situations, I have entered into consensual love relationships with some students, and now I understand that I should not do that."

For the past eight years, Franco has suffered the consequences of his moral decline. The actor was turned away by the whole Hollywood. He has not participated in any movies since 2014 until now.

Franco didn't even hide his condition. In an interview on The Jess Cagle Podcast, the actor admitted that he struggled to overcome his sex addiction.

"I used to have a girlfriend but I could not be faithful to anyone. I cheated on many people before coming to my girlfriend Isabel Pakzad," Franco shared.

The clip was released overnight with Amber Heard

During the trial of Johnny Depp against his ex-wife for defamation, Amber Heard repeated over and over that Depp was jealous and mad when he suspected her of having an affair with James Franco. According to the Hollywood star, James Franco is also one of the reasons why the relationship between her and her ex-husband cracked.

This is not the first time The Disaster Artist's name has been mentioned in the lawsuit of the famous star - actor couple. Earlier, in 2020, during the trial Depp sued The Sun because of an article that smeared him as an ex-wife beater, Heard's affair with James Franco was also mentioned.

Before the grand jury, Depp accused his ex-wife of having affairs with Franco during their time together. As for Heard, she said Depp used to call her a "slut" and "a liar" when considering joining a project with James Franco. Heard said she had a hell of a week following Depp's tantrum.

In addition, during a flight from Boston to Los Angeles, when it came to James Franco, the actor born in 1963 went mad and vented his anger at Heard. "Depp hit me hard in the back. He threatened to come to the set to watch," Heard recalls.

According to Entertainment Weekly, James Franco was a constant source of insecurity for Depp. Whenever mentioning the junior's name, Depp got jealous and couldn't control himself.

In 2019, Heard's personal lawyer, Eric George, confirmed that the actress and James Franco did not exceed the limit of friendship. The two worked together on two films Pineapple Express and The Adderall Diaries. In addition, the couple used to live in the same apartment complex, so they met a few times.

However, the tide of the case changed when Depp's side released a video extracted from the camera in the elevator at Heard's house during the trial on May 17. In it, there is a scene where Heard rests his head on James Franco's shoulder and the two step out of the elevator at 11 pm on May 22, 2016. James Franco then wore a backpack, a hat, and a mask covering his face.

Depp's representatives accused Heard of having an affair with a co-worker the day before she filed for divorce from her husband. At first, Heard assumed that she had never invited James Franco to her home. But when the video was shown, Heard had to admit that the actor was at her apartment on the evening of May 22, 2016.

"He was my friend. He was always by my side. To be honest, I had no support from my close friends at that time," Heard countered. The actress said she confided in her colleagues about the problems in her married life.

When Franco visited Heard in the attic, the actor saw bruises on her face. Why did The Room look worried: "Oh my God, what happened to you?". In the end, the 36-year-old star concluded that she and Franco were just friends.

According to Newsweek, Franco has never once spoken about his relationship with Heard. Therefore, Heard's testimony and Depp's accusations are difficult to verify.
