Is this what he was talking about?
Like us, many were confused about why the hell James Franco joined the cast of the daytime soap General Hospital.
But now it’s beginning to look like his role is part of a bigger picture.
In the spring, James will merge his on-screen character “bad boy” artist Franco with an off-screen project when his stint on the show ends later this month. Apparently Franco will be participating in a gallery show at New York’s Deitch Projects and will be shot for a “special episode” for the soap.
What is this guy smoking!?
Franco mentioned the plan in the Wall Street Journal in December saying:
“After all of the Franco episodes are aired, my character’s storyline will be advanced in a special episode filmed in a ‘legitimate’ New York gallery. One more layer will be added to this already layer-heavy experiment. If all goes according to plan, it will definitely be weird. But is it art?”
This just keeps on getting weirder and weirder.
But we will admit, we’re a little intrigued to see what James Franco “the artist” has created.
