Sexually ambiguous actor James Franco has a hot new movie coming out this fall, director Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, the true story of Aron Ralston the hiker trapped under a boulder for, yes, 127 hours who ended up amputating his own arm in order to save himself. The movie is getting a lot of hot buzz and Franco is also generating a lot of hot buzz with his frank comments about some of his extra-curricular activities. When The Hollywood Reporter asked him how the film deals with the sexual tension aspects of being trapped under a rock for 6 days, (personally, if I was trapped and probably dying I don’t think I would have sex on my mind…), Mr Franco had this to say:
The Hollywood Reporter: Danny said that Aron Ralston, whose ordeal provided the basis for the movie, would never answer the question of whether he actually jerked off while stuck down there. Did putting that in the story feel true to you?
James Franco: He’s kind of a gentleman, I guess he doesn’t talk about that stuff. [laughs] I think he also didn’t want his mom to read it.
THR: But you had to play a bit of that.
Franco: [laughs] OK. You asked the question. [pause] I spend a fair amount of time alone, especially when I travel maybe to something like this or for work or whatever, but I’m in hotels a lot for a lot of my life. And I don’t mind it because I have a lot of stuff to do on my own. I have a lot of reading to do for school or whatever. [pause, laughs] You asked! So, when I’m alone, I do masturbate a lot. I don’t know why. It’s like you have those days where it’s just like, I have a ton of writing to do, or a ton of reading to do, and you’re just like, OK, I’m going to be on the couch all day or in bed all day just doing that… I tend to have a four- or five-time day. [breaks out laughing] So, I probably would have if I was stuck under a rock.
Oh, James…WHAT are we going to DO with you? Naughty, naughty man…And, doesn’t that cause chafing?
Oh, here’s a picture of the real Aron Ralston…not only is he amazing, he’s also pretty cute, too…
