Old and tired looking


What is going on? Does he have substance abuse problem because that's the only thing I think of that would be making him look a lot older than he is. Most of these 38 year old celebrities look younger than him: http://hotbirthdays.com/age/38/

Most likely drug use. No sleep, bad diets, he looks dirty most of the time.

Just saw him on the Charlie Rose show about a week and a half ago, and he was on there to discuss the new series he's starring in---HBO's THE DEUCE----along with co-star Maggie Gyllenhaal, one of the creators, David Chase, and I forgot who else. He honestly looked like he'd been out all night getting his drink on and hadn't shaved in a couple of days. I mean, he looked tore up from the floor up, but he acted like he didn't even care and just talked about the show (in which he plays two roles) anyway, lol. Go figure. Just Franco being Franco as usual, apparently.

The guy doesn't drink or do drugs. He talked about it all the time how funny it was doing Pineapple express, because he's never smoked pot.

reply

"because he's never smoked pot."

Yeah... Right.

Btw I remember a story about Freaks and Geeks when he admitted smoking pot with Seth Rogen while making it.

The other question is if he ever was an addict, but pretty sure he had his experiences.

reply

Maybe he did, but he really tried to come across like he was pretty straight edged.

The guy is into academics full time. I think that's the full time career he wants to do, just study and do papers all the time. So he barely sleeps.

reply

I remember an interview with his brother Dave Franco, in which he said James barely gets any sleep. Add to that his drug use and it's not hard to figure out why he is always looking/acting like he is sleepy/lethargic.
