James Franco Reflects on New Movie ‘Hey Joe,’ Fall From Grace, and End of Seth Rogen Friendship

Actor James Franco has recently opened up about his new movie, ‘Hey Joe,’ and his personal journey following a significant fall from grace in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview, Franco discussed his gratitude for the experiences he has had, despite the challenges he has faced.

Franco acknowledged the end of his long-standing friendship with actor Seth Rogen, stating, “No. I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over.”

The actor’s career has been marred by controversies, including allegations of misconduct and a highly publicized incident involving inappropriate interactions with a minor. These incidents have led to a significant backlash and a period of public scrutiny, which Franco referred to as “the pause” during his interview.

Despite these challenges, Franco is returning to the screen with ‘Hey Joe,’ a move that has sparked mixed reactions from the public and the entertainment community. Some have expressed surprise that production companies are willing to work with him again, given his past controversies.

Franco was spotted in a luxurious hotel lobby in Rome, appearing relaxed and at ease, which has drawn further commentary from the public. His return to acting has reignited discussions about cancel culture and the ability of celebrities to regain public favor after facing significant criticism.
