James Franco pokes fun at Lindsay Lohan sex rumors in new movie
James Franco has confessed to sleeping with Lindsay Lohan - in new movie This Is The End.
The 127 Hours star was briefly romantically linked to the troubled actress, and earlier this year (13) he told shock jock Howard Stern he turned down a night of passion with Lohan when they were both staying at famous Los Angeles hotspot, Chateau Marmont.
Franco told the radio host, "She was having issues even then, so
you feel weird. Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of
people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do
that."
But, in his riotous new comedy, in which Franco plays an
exaggeration of himself, the actor reveals he slept with Lohan
after she mistook him for Jake Gyllenhaal.
He says, "I told her to call me Prince of Persia" - a reference to
Gyllenhaal's 2010 movie flop Prince of Persia: The Sands of
Time.
The new film, in which Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig
Robinson, Danny McBride and Jay Baruchel all play themselves, also
features Rihanna, Emma Watson, Mindy Kaling and Channing Tatum,
among others, and a stunning cameo from the Backstreet Boys.
In the movie, Franco and his pals face the apocalypse after a party
at the actor's pretentious new Hollywood home.
