Acting “doesn’t do much” for James Franco

Pineapple Express actor James Franco's appearance at the Saturday Night premiere in New York City, New York on May 2, 2010 stirred up quite a few questions concerning the star's well being. The usually strapping young performer showed up to the event looking sweaty, unfocused and could hardly keep his eyes open. Franco has always been an advocate of recreational marijuana use, but his thin frame and frighteningly questionable marks on his middle arm makes one wonder if he hasn't started dabbling in something harder. Fame Pictures, IncIt sounds like James Franco is a bit bored of acting.

“Acting doesn’t do very much for me,” he said.

James is due to start studying at Yale University in September.

“I put off school for it, but it’s not like it was a sacrifice or anything. I didn’t really miss school until I went back.

“Or maybe I missed it and nobody believed that, not even me. The work of it — and I have really great teachers — that’s the stuff that adds up for me in a way that acting doesn’t.”
