James Franco Personal Life

Among the most frequently asked questions about Franco from his adoring fans is: “Is James Franco gay?” – and Franco himself does little to quash the rumors. Indeed he’s been quoted as saying “I like to think I’m gay in my art and straight in my life.” He’s quipped once “maybe I am gay.

The truth may never be revealed as the constant speculation fuels the endless rumors around who Franco will attract next. His support of the LGBT community adds further to the belief that Franco may at the very least be bi-sexual. Nevertheless, he’s been known to date high profile women, including Marla Sokoloff and Ahna O’Reilly.

For those wondering, who is James Franco’s wife? The disappointing or perhaps exciting answer is, he is not married…yet!

How Did James Franco Get Famous?

Franco attended the prestigious Columbia University School of Arts where  he pursued a graduate degree in writing. Before that he attended UCLA and graduated with a 3.5/4.0 GPA. Although it’s frequently asked is James Franco a genius, the short answer is no based on an estimated IQ score of 130 and his A- average.

Still, Franco is a genius when it comes to acting. He catapulted to fame in James Dean, a breakthrough role, and went on to star in 127 Hours and The Disaster Artist, which were both critically acclaimed.

If you think all his success went to his head, you’d be wrong. Franco, in spite of all his accolades, went on to pursue a Ph.D program in English at Yale University in 2010. He also had a pitstop at The Rhode Island School of Design. Is it any wonder with top notch University degrees under his belt, worldwide acclaim, and dangerously handsome good looks that Franco has accumulated a net worth estimated at north of $30 million?
