Yesterday, James Franco pranked his fans again - the actor posted a photo on his Instagram page in which he was depicted with a tattoo on his neck in the form of a portrait of Emma Watson.
“I love Hermione,” Franco captioned the image, which, as expected, caused a strong reaction from the celebrity’s followers. Some of them admired the body design and James’ courage, others doubted the authenticity of the tattoo and were right: the design on the star’s neck was the work of artist Shane Randall, known to the public for his works in Photoshop - “painted” bodies of celebrities and surreal collages.
However, there is nothing to be surprised here; Franco is a constant hero of scandalous chronicles. Need proof? You are welcome - in our review you will find everything you need.
About two weeks ago, Franco was already becoming the hero of the front pages of the world's leading media. Then information appeared online that the actor had undergone the Jewish rite of bar mitzvah, which marks a Jew’s coming of age.
The filmmaker expressed regret that he “could not become a man according to Jewish customs” in a timely manner, so the actor, or rather his friend and colleague Seth Rogen, performed the religious ceremony with a delay of 24 years.
True, it still remains unknown whether the ritual performed had religious force or whether the actors Franco and Rogen were performing a performance.
Parody of Kanye West's Bound 2 video with Kim Kardashian
Two years earlier, James Franco and Seth Rogan were so impressed by Kanye West's video for the song Bound 2 starring Kim Kardashian that the actors immediately decided to film their own version.
The video turned out to be incredibly funny and, of course, caused a great public outcry, and this, it seems to us, is what the celebrities wanted.
Seduction of a young fan
Last year, Franco made headlines when he tried to seduce an underage fan: the actor persuaded his 17-year-old fan from Scotland named Lucy to spend time alone.
A few days before, the girl waylaid James near the theater where he was playing in the play “Of Mice and Men” to take a photo with him. Once the selfie was taken, Franco asked Lucy to tag his account. This is how their correspondence began. The actor constantly talked about the meeting, asked what hotel she was staying at, and everything in the same spirit... At first, the girl promised to keep the correspondence secret, but as a result she posted everything online.
Wedding with Lana Del Rey
Of course, when information appeared in the press that James Franco was having an affair with Lana Del Rey, the actor simply could not help but comment on these reports. And he did it in a very original way: a photo of him and the singer appeared on the actor’s page on a social network, which he accompanied with the caption: “Wow, we just got married. Just kidding!!!"
Despite the postscript “just kidding,” many media outlets still rushed to write about the artists’ marriage, although it later became clear that there was no wedding.
Fight in the cemetery
The next incident, which cannot but be recalled, took place in the cemetery. Yes, yes, that's not a typo!
The same Lana Del Rey decided to organize one of her concerts for friends at a cemetery. However, not only close friends of the artist came to the singer’s performance, but also several paparazzi, whose presence outraged and even enraged Franco. Therefore, without thinking twice, the actor pushed one of the photographers to the ground and kicked him several times.
James later refused to comment, but the injured reporter set his sights on compensation for damage to equipment and health.
Bald Head - a platform for art
And for dessert we left the story about James Franco's bald head and the tattoo on the back of his head, which is very symbolic, because we started with a similar topic.
The actor had to shave his hair for his role in the film Zeroville. And this, in general, surprised few people - celebrities are ready to make such sacrifices for the sake of art. But what no one expected was to see a tattoo on the “bare” back of the star’s head - a portrait of a woman and a man.
For a long time, fans of the celebrity wondered whether this was a real tattoo, but later the actor admitted that it was a temporary design, posting on Instagram a photo taken in the process of applying the “tattoo.”

There have long been a lot of rumors around James Franco and Lana Del Rey: either they are credited with a passionate affair, or James is considered the reason for Lana’s separation from Barry-James O’Neal, or the couple is getting married. Franco simply admires Lana Del Rey and intrigues the audience by posting photos together with the singer. However, their relationship does not cross boundaries.
Collaborative creativity
The actor is always coming up with new ways to create together. For example, a year ago he began writing a book about Lana with the interesting title “The Other Side: Real and Fictitious Conversations with Lana Del Rey.”
“I just wanted to interview her for the book, and she suggested that I just write about her as I see it, and not write down her words,” Franco shares. He even took on the famous writer David Shields as a co-author.
After the epic with the book, James Franco had a much more exciting idea. He decided to make a film with Lana Del Rey. In an interview with V Magazine, he said: “Lana lives in her creativity, and when she comes down from heaven to earth for an interview, something incomprehensible comes out, as if she was not created for this world. She was born to live in a self-created world. She is one of those people who are disappointed with objective reality and are forced to create their own world. So just let her live in it.” And after hinting that few people understand her in this life, he talked about the movie: “She has an idea for a film. And I want to do it because it reminds me of the drama Sunset Boulevard. A woman is alone in a large house in Los Angeles. She doesn't want to leave his walls. And she begins to go crazy, she becomes paranoid that some people are watching her all the time. Even in her own home. This is a cool arthouse movie that was born in Lana's head. This story is about her, and at the same time not about her. Just like her music."
For James Franco, Lana Del Rey is not just a friend, she is his muse, who inspires and gives him the necessary emotions - this is rare. He once said: “Lana became my friend. When I watch her videos, when I listen to her songs, it reminds me of everything I love about Los Angeles.”
Lana Del Rey and James Franco
The beautiful siren's next romance with actor and screenwriter James Franco also ended in nothing. And this despite the fact that he was literally obsessed with Lana. As Del Rey told Billboard magazine, James Franco begged her to star in three films. But these intentions remained unrealized: work on none of these films never began.
Lana and rapper G-Eazy
A series of failures apparently cooled the singer’s ardor. For some time, she preferred solitude to romantic adventures. And in 2020, the music world was rocked by the news about the mutual sympathy of Lana and rapper G-Eazy. Their romance began at the Coachella festival, and they even planned to record a song together. But alas, the rapper’s attention was diverted by the young singer Halsey, who eventually became his partner both in working on a new project and in life.
Writer James Franco became friends with Lanna del Rey, but has not yet written books about her
Lana Del Rey is an American singer, real name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, born June 21, 1986 in New York. She began her singing career in 2008 as a simple neighbor girl with a guitar at the ready. In 2011, she began performing under a pseudonym, which was made up of the names of the singer Lana Turner and the name of the Ford Del Rey car, which was successful in Latin America in the eighties. Under the influence of the producer, she also dramatically changed her image, becoming an exquisite retro beauty: plump lips, super-long eyelashes, vampire nails, patent leather shoes. Fame came to Lana in the summer of 2011 after the release of the video clip “Video Games,” which was viewed 600 thousand times on the Internet within three weeks. Her voice is very reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra’s velvety contralto – so much so that the singer herself calls her style “Gangsta Nancy Sinatra”.
In 2009, still under the name Lizzie Grant, she released the mini-album “Kill Kill”. She also recorded a full-length album with producer David Kahne, which was sold online for two months in 2010, after which it was withdrawn from sale.
Lana Del Rey's first concert took place at The Box (New York) on September 21, 2011. That same year, the record label's debut single, "Video Games"/"Blue Jeans", was released on vinyl on October 10 and digitally the following day. It reached number nine in the UK and number three in the Netherlands.
In October 2011, Lana Del Rey received an award from Q magazine in the special category "Future Star", and in 2012 - a British Music Award in the category "International Breakthrough".
Critics believe that one of the reasons for Lana’s paradoxical success is her magnificent, meticulously thought-out image and original mischievous lyrics, as if taken from classic American westerns. And, of course, a soft, recognizable voice.
At the beginning of 2020, Lana Del Rey, at the invitation of Andrew Lloyd Webber, took part in the recording of the album “Unmasked: The Platinum Collection,” which the legendary composer released for his 70th birthday. The singer performed a new version of the aria “You Must Love Me,” written for the screen version of the musical “Evita” (its first performer was Madonna).

Lana Del Rey and Jared Leto
Lana and Jared Leto have a long-standing relationship. They collaborated more than once and appeared on the red carpet together. It is difficult to say whether something more connects them, because... they both carefully guard their personal lives. But they recently starred together in a Gucci advertising campaign, where they acted as a couple in love. Could it turn out that Del Rey and Leto are really dating?
Lana with brothers Leto
Who is Del Rey dating now?
At the moment, Lana is not dating anyone, but this is unlikely to last long, because, as the singer herself says, she needs an intense romantic relationship.
“It's wonderful, but at the same time it's difficult because when it's up to me, the relationship never ends in the usual way... It's kind of a continuation of the creative process. I need big events, big adventures, big falls. It's inspiring, it keeps me from getting stuck, and I need that to keep moving forward."
Perhaps the reason for Lana's loneliness is that she has not yet found someone equal in maturity.
Del Rey's current behavior and lifestyle clearly indicate that she has learned lessons from her failed romances. The girl described the man of her dreams in revelations to Elle magazine:
“For me, the ideal is a little cockiness, a little sexuality, magnetism, friendly support, the same views and all that stuff, but without all these undesirable consequences in the form of selfishness and the desire to think only about yourself. And this is exactly what many frontmen are like, if we talk about musicians!”
Lana looks positively at her current single status:
“Not all of my relationships were bad, but some of them put me in positions I didn't want to be in. And I’m happy that now it’s all behind me.”
Yesterday, James Franco pranked his fans again - the actor posted a photo on his Instagram page in which he was depicted with a tattoo on his neck in the form of a portrait of Emma Watson.
“I love Hermione,” Franco captioned the image, which, as expected, caused a strong reaction from the celebrity’s followers. Some of them admired the body design and James’ courage, others doubted the authenticity of the tattoo and were right: the design on the star’s neck was the work of artist Shane Randall, known to the public for his works in Photoshop - “painted” bodies of celebrities and surreal collages.
