It's nice to see when people try to better themselves, such as actor James Franco.
The Spiderman star, at age 30, just graduated from UCLA last month.
Franco had been taking English literature courses for years.
But, the overachieving actors isn't going to stop there.
Franco is moving to New York this September to attend graduate school at NYU!
It turns out that Franco loves to write.
He's co-written and directed films Fool's Gold, The Ape, and Good Time Max.
Of his quest for more education, despite already being very successful, Franco says, "I am going back to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I'm interested in. That is the best way to learn."
Adds James, "For me, being able to act in movies is not having it all. I am interested in other things, and I take my interests seriously. Thus, I'm back in school."
Kudos to him.
Education is very important.
And the brain is a muscle - it needs exercise!
People should be following James Franco's example, especially those celebutards that probably never finished high school or attempted to start college.

What an Ass-ho!
the brain is not a muscle. the brain is supported almost entirely by fatty cells and runs on sugar. that's why they tell you to eat omega three fatty acids for good brain health.
ok guys, stop posting about the brain not being a muscle. overkill.
He is too smart to mess with Lesbo Lohan.
I graduated from college too! Will you post my picture??
the brain's an organ
James Franco you are soo amazingly hott….mmm
Well that just ratcheted up his hot.
A guy who is as smart as he is hot. Nice…
What college did you graduate from Perez?
Lindsay graduated also, btw.
im a student at UCLA and i work at a Starbucks near the campus and James Franco is always a regular, i usually saw him there on nights, studying! no joke, he was very polite all the time, very nice and like i said, always doing homework, he usually stayed until we closed which was at midnight
i hope you're joking about the brain being a muscle.
ya but he is a chain smoker.
damaged genes therefore. and o dem yeller teeth.
and breath that could knock u cold dead.
Nice to be interested in something else besides what your job is - acting!
Plus with more writing education, he can write his own ticket with his own scripts like he's been doing with the 3 small Indie films he already has out. Other actors will no doubt want to do his scripts, too.
The guy is handsome and shy - what a combo!
Ummm… The brain is a muscle? Read an anatmy book Perez. Hell, look over your high school bio notes.
Since when is graduating from undergrad overachieving???
