James Franco Talks Locking Lips with Sean Penn
WENN

Pineapple Express stoner James Franco doesn't seem too happy about having made out with Sean Penn.

The two star in Gus Van Sant's upcoming Harvey Milk biopic Milk, about the openly-gay San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated in 1978. Penn plays Milk while Franco plays one of Sean's boyfriends.

Us quotes the recent UCLA grad whining in a September GQ cover story that shooting a kiss scene didn't take "twelve hours, but it certainly felt like it. The first kiss of the movie was out on Haight Street, with, like, 200 people watching, outside."

Tell us again that part about your seven-digit paycheck.

"It was a crane shot—I’m sure in the end it will be a really cool shot, but it starts close and then it takes maybe a minute. That’s a long time on film with everybody watching and, like, a fake mustache in your mouth."

Oh, pipe down. There are worse mouths you could be licking.

“On making a few bad films: “I wanted to be the best actor that I could be. It’s just sad for me, because I know I worked so hard, and I just feel like in some way I kind of blew it. It’s just hard to get away from what I see as the stain of these bad movies.””

“During the filming of Gus Van Sant's Harvey Milk movie, Milk, Franco and Sean Penn have to get with the nudity. They play gay lovers, with many, many love scenes. This could be a hot movie.”
