In what will surely be explained off as performance art or eventually in a NY Times long read, James Franco tried to pick up a 17-year-old girl via Instagram. Following his Of Mice Or Men performance on Broadway, a fan took a video and photos of him outside the theater, and he asked her to tag him in it.
She did, and Franco started following her and direct messaged her a bedroom-eyes-selfie. In the DM they had this little conversation: 'How long will you be in New York?' he asked, 'um a few days it's my 18th birthday present.' He asked, 'You're 18? Who are you with? Do you have a bf?'
The girl responded that she was 'nearly 18,' and visiting NYC with her mom.' The two also texted, and he asked what hotel she was in-'should I rent a room?' He sent her another selfie over text to prove it was him, adding-'It's me. Yes or no? Tomorrow or thurs?' Eventually she replied: 'I'll come back when I'm 18.' However, she then added, 'One second, I will meet you if you write my name on a piece of paper then send it to me with your face also in the picture.'
He did, and THEN WHAT? It's believed the two did not meet-instead, their brief interaction landed on Reddit.
As for Franco, he temporarily changed his Instagram name to say: 'PLEASE DON'T DM IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, THANK YOU.' He also Tweeted, 'I HOPE PARENTS KEEP THEIR TEENS AWAY FROM ME. Thank you,' and included a link to an Instagram which has since been deleted. A little tip for anyone using Instagram: anyone can see, even if your account is private, who you follow. For those using Instagram as a pick-up place or for their own personal feed of cleavage shots... none of this is private. As for Franco, he follows many young girls:
Jezebel quips that 'maybe this is some kind of performative viral marketing campaign for his upcoming movie about a teenager who falls in love with her school's football coach'... and while that is HIGHLY unlikely, somewhere there's probably a PR team tirelessly working to make it so. [via Dlisted]
