Franco Bails On UCLA
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
Does he have a big bowling date or something happening? “Pineapple Express” actor James Franco seems to think he has better things to do than address his alma mater.
The hunky heartthrob was scheduled to deliver the commencement speech to UCLA’s College of Letters and Science graduates on June 12, but Franco has cancelled the date, releasing this statement: “I deeply regret not being able to keep my commitment to giving the commencement speech at UCLA’s graduation this year. Unfortunately the date conflicts with me needing to be on location to begin pre-production on my next film. I wish everyone in the 2009 class the best of luck in all of their future endeavors.”
It’s hard to believe that Franco couldn’t get a little time off from “pre-production.” That means the movie’s not even shooting yet. Maybe he’s afraid he’d fall asleep at the podium—like he was prone to doing in class.
