James Franco and his Mum, Betsy, reflect on creativity and education for Stanford's "Open Office Hours" a video series produced by the Office of Public Affairs at Stanford University.
Wows another thing in common with James!! My first interest in acting started my Senior Year unlike James too which started in my high school too in Texas!! The bad news was drama was so popular the class was full and I didn't get in.
me and my bro jumped off the roof onto mattresses too. seemed amazing that we could jump from that high and not be hurt. have you seen those vids of guys doing backflips off roofs.
He’s not really involved much in Hollywood at the level that James and Dave are at. I know he’s been in a few movies but I don’t think he aspires to be a big actor
So I did many solo acts in choir and went that avenue until I got my opportunity in the year "1994" I was working at a nice hotel as Hostess Supervisor in Naperville, IL and they asked me to do a small part in the restaurant greeting and ringing up the checks I'm wearing a blue sweater and tan khakis a Comedy film called "Don't Flush"-- directed by David L. Seman.
Then the next opportunity came with Twentieth Century Fox in "1995" I was spotted and picked up by the casting director in Chicago, IL I was walking around DT that day I got my whole family involved and it turned out to be super crazy hours and for 7 days straight film is called "Chain Reaction mom and dad survived"!
I hope that with seven years time, you've changed your mind. Because if your mother compared you to someone else's daughter, I wonder how that would make you feel? Just something to think about...
Omfg I see where the boys get their laugh from...the whole family literally have the same laugh and its just so contagious.
zoyya ahmad I. Know right
How on earth does every person in this family develop such artistic and intelligent traits...I can't even get over how awesome they are, I'm jealous.
James Franco was born high
The whole Franco family is always smiling!
Very sweet duo, I hope my son and I have such a bond later in life. :)
aww...what a cute interview. I love seeing guys with their mothers. I think Dave load the most like their mother.
I remember her from General Hospital. She's so nice, sweet and very kind. He looks so much like her! It's the eyes. She's lookin good at 69! Wow!
I don't think she's aged 69, I think she graduated from Stanford in '69
James gets his creativity and love of learning from his mom. That's awesome.
James is so hot holy crap
Dave has his moms laugh
Amama saeed they both have a that sweet laugh and smile. 💖
His mother is so sweet and kind
Both parents took art classes...thats cool. Very creative household
He let's his mother talk so much. He is fcking perfect. Oh god this woman Gabe birth to greatness.
To 2 sex offenders! Awesome mother.
RIP Doug, I only found out now, hope james and the rest are ok.
His mom is so full of joy. I love her already! And I've always loved James.
her reaction when James says he doesn't remember the junk box...loool
Love them. You James, are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom.
That was so educational. Great family to come from!
They're absolutely adorable! I love the chemistry :)

dave is so much like his mom! they have the same laugh omfg.
Jayde B you mean James?
Kenzzed I think they mean that Dave has a more similar laugh to their mother than James does
