James Franco covers Vman magazine’s Decades Issue, on newsstands Thursday (October 27).
Here’s what the 33-year-old actor had to share:
On life on and off the big screen:
“There is a bit of a dichotomy between my work on camera as an actor and off-camera. I am still hired as an actor in commercial narrative films and my responsibility there is to create characters that are believable and entertaining in each given project. I don’t see my participation in films like Milk or 127 Hours as anything other than storytelling devices among many such devices for the directors of those films. I am a collaborator, but a collaborator serving a director’s vision.”
On people’s skepticism of the concept of celebrity:
“You know, I’ve embraced it now. I actually like this sort of superficial criticism of the work, because in a way it becomes this sort of beautiful reflection of our culture.”

The 33-year-old actor posed for French photographer Nathaniel Goldberg in Rome for the campaign, which features James in a film studio and showing off his own Made to Measure suit.
“James has an innate ability to fuse classic elegance with contemporary style and interpret formalwear in an individual way, true to the spirit of our MADE TO MEASURE service” Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said. “With Gucci’s Made in Italy tradition and sartorial expertise, personalized formalwear is the ultimate way for a man to express his own style.”

James On ‘General Hospital’: Bloodied Up In Sneak Peek
It’s a good thing he’s on “General Hospital,” because from the looks of it, James Franco is going to need a doctor.
The Oscar-nominee is reprising his art-as-real life experiment with another go-round on the soap opera, this time back for a long arc as serial killer/artist Robert “Franco” Frank. Part of his storyline will involve trying to break up the wedding of Jason Morgan, the hitman on whom he harbors a desperate crush.
The photo below, then, doesn’t look like the feeling of butterflies is very mutual.
It’ll be his first appearance on the soap since February.

The new still plus tons more of General Hospital stills and behind the scenes photos that were missing from the gallery have been added to the gallery. Enjoy!
