That is nothing.

This will shock you.

James Franco, actor and co-host of The Academy Awards tonight, likes going to school. In fact, he still is, studying for his doctorate in English at Yale University, while fitting in movie and television appearances on the side.

Franco, born in Palo Alto, Calif., graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1996, where he was voted “Best Smile” by his senior class. He enrolled at UCLA as a freshman that same year, but didn’t last long, deciding to give acting a chance.

That gambit worked exceedingly well, but Franco still wanted an education. He returned to UCLA in the fall of 2006, at age 28, cramming as many courses as he could into each quarter. His course load ranged from 20 to 62 credits per quarter (anyone wanting to do more than 19 a quarter needs special permission), all the while maintaining a grade point average of above 3.5.

He was awarded with a bachelor’s degree in English, with a creative writing concentration in June 2008, at which point he headed for New York and enrolled in not one or two schools but three: Columbia University’s M.F.A. writing program; Brooklyn College for creative writing; and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts for directing.

He earned a masters degree from Columbia and then moved on to Yale, where he is now studying for a doctorate in English.

“I love school," he once told People magazine. "I go to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I’m interested in and I’m having a great experience."

Anne Hathaway, Franco's co-host for the Oscars, studied at Vassar College in New York, studying as an English major and women’s studies minor, but she transferred in 2005 after several semesters to New York University. There she enrolled in the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, which allows students to construct their own educational program. She did not earn a degree, though has said she would like to return one day.

I saw an interview between James Franco and his brother, and apparently James rarely sleeps.

Keep in mind the film work, and then, all the teaching, art, and writing work.

He'll probably drop dead in two years.

james is nuts. a few years ago, he was teaching classes at NYU while filming movies. which is ridiculous in itself.

James Franco just doesn't give a shyt what he is in. he'll take pretty much any role thrown on his agent's desk.

I heard his interview on Howard Stern a while back and dude sounds like he doesn't make much money from his movies. most of his roles are either cameo's, supporting roles in indie films, or shyt he directs himself with a small budget.

I doubt dude is hurting for money, but Hollywood isn't what it used to be. he's not making big money on most of his films. if he is lucky and has a good agent then most of his money earned from film would come from having back-end percentage points on movies like Pineapple Express, 127 Hours, and This is the End.

Franco gets paid a couple million a year to be the face of Gucci (as seen below), so he can pretty much do whatever films he wants to.
