James Franco 2, Son of Franco

In the recent New York Magazine profile of James Franco, writer Sam Anderson gets waved off partway through the article because "another magazine" is doing an article. Well, that other magazine is Esquire, and their article (plus videos, a short story, a poem and other Franco-related material) is out.

"I showed that last movie at NYU last month, at a faculty critique," Franco says, flinching a little. "It's a fairly confrontational piece, and it got a little ugly. One faculty member — she's always tough on me, but she flat-out called me an asshole. She jumped me. She was muttering it the whole time: What an asshole. What an asshole."

Also, Franco reads Twilight and gets a straight razor shave, apparently as part of the interview.
