This flabby go-with-the-flow era
by CarolineGQ‘s september cover subject is beautiful, intent James Franco. Even a goofy, ugly movie like Pineapple Express — including stripey stoner pants, some extra pounds, and that greasy shoulder-length torrent of hair — couldn’t make this guy unattractive. If this is his Monster his efforts to uglify have failed.
Profiler Chris Heath explains how after their interview, Franco sent him not one but two apologetic recon emails: the first a lengthy discussion of elaborate miscommunications he wants to avoid, and the second, two short sentences on his tendency to be too serious. Heath closes this way:
no responses“Some people seem born to take things too seriously, and if taking things too seriously may sometimes cause needless upset and stain the path behind them, it may also bring rewards and results rarely sought in this flabby go-with-the-flow, follow-your-dream, find-your-joy era. If you act as though everything you do really matters, with all the time and thought and furrowing of brows that James Franco brings to his endeavors, there’s always the chance that in the end it might.”
