James Franco discussed his book of poetry, Directing Herbert White, and denied claims that he slept with Lindsay Lohan in an interview published on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old actor's new book revolves around Hollywood and illustrates his life before acting, pays homage to stars such as Marlon Brando and Heath Ledger, and explores the dark side of stardom. Franco received an undergraduate degree in English from UCLA in 2008, and a master's degree from Columbia University in 2010. His first book, Palo Alto, was published in the same year, and he is currently working toward a PhD in English at Yale.
