James Franco has revealed his love of masturbation.

The actor is shown pleasuring himself while stuck under a boulder before he is forced to cut off his own arm with a blunt knife to free himself in new movie 127 Hours, which stars Franco as real-life mountaineer Aron Ralston.

James said that Ralston never admitted to masturbating while trapped in the Utah Mountains, but that he could still relate to the scene.

“When I’m alone, I do masturbate a lot. I tend to have a four- or five-time day,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“So, I probably would have if I was stuck under a rock.”
