James Franco Discusses His Sex Addiction & Sobriety

128 thoughts on “James Franco Discusses His Sex Addiction & Sobriety”

1. Well at least he’s getting help. Doesn’t make what he’s done okay, but it’s important to look in the mirror and face the truth.

2. As someone who has struggled with addiction myself, I’m grateful to hear him discuss his struggles publicly. You would forgive the transgressions of a drug addict because we all know they are a slave to their addictions, well, this is no different. I’m not even a religious man but I must say, “Let he who is free from sin cast the first stone”.

3. This is like therapy. He’s just speaking the truth about himself. I commend that. I don’t support or condone what he’s done. But I’m glad he’s admitting to it and working on himself.

4. Really glad that podcasts are becoming just as, if not (hopefully) more, popular than talk shows. Thank you to the interviewer who just lets James speak instead of constantly interrupting him with ego-driven jokes to make him the centre of attention.

5. Its a never ending cycle of drug, alcohol and sex addiction in the celebrity lifestyle. James Franco isn’t unique, he’s one of thousands and although what he did was wrong, at least you feel that he’s openly trying to understand and get help. Only time will tell how genuine this is…

6. GREAT interview; because the interviewer is a GOOD LISTENER! And James is so honest and humble. Really good all round. And well done, interviewer; this is how it’s done!

7. He seems very genuine in this interview. I’m very big fan of his work. Glad to see him taking responsibility and working to be a better person

8. @Superior Model Because everyone is flawed? The hope is that they would try to work on themselves, wouldn’t you think and have some sort of regret?

9. @Superior Model Oh Ok so let’s just have it that if somebody makes a mistake they’re a target for the rest of time? That must be why Mark Wahlberg and Robert Downey Jr are still leading actors? LOL.

10. @Yogsen Forfoth Lol no.

11. The Interviewer did an amazing job being silent when James shared his story and didn’t try to interject as so many hosts do.

12. I love James Franco. We need to learn to stop cancelling people for past mistakes and quit acting exaggerative. Not everyone’s a monster, everybody’s human. Franco’s a smart dude and him waiting to publicly talk about this was his best move. Can’t wait for this trend to be over.

13. There is a good and bad part to that. Podcasts allow people to talk freely but also now we’re inundated with everyone and their stories. Before if Michael Jordan came on Oprah and they got candid it was fun but not like, ok I’m going to spend 30 mins learning about why James Franco loves sex. We are a society now inundated with content and it’s ultimately corrosive.

14. I love how the interviewer looks at him with empathy instead of judgement

15. Sex addiction huh? Colbert takes out pen and writes that on piece of paper as the band plays porno music

16. I was a huge fan of James Franco before any of these things came to light. It was really hard, truly, because i looked up to him, but i couldn’t accept his behavior or turn a blind eye. It’s been what almost 4 years since the allegations? I’ve always wondered why he stayed silent, because it’s a human instinct to defend yourself or at least make everything little better by shutting down “rumors” (denying the accusations, which clearly is wrong), but now i understand why he didn’t say a word. First off, i want to say that i’m very glad that he admitted everything he has done. And i am glad that he stayed silent, because it means that he took time to reflect and change. Despite the fact that he has done horrible things, in this podcast, you can see clearly the journey he has come and the willingness to change, which is very rare. He cannot change the past but what he can do is learn from this mistakes and actually help himself because it’s obvious that he has or had problems, some serious problems, whether it’s with alcohol or sex addiction. I like how genuine this interview is, and the interviewer did an amazing job. Even thought, it’s not my place to forgive him, i truly believe that he is on a right path and that he can change, because he is in the process of accepting who he is and reflecting on the past, which helps one overcome the issues and be a better person for yourself and for others, as well.
    And lastly, i’d like to say good luck to him on this tough journey he is on, only because i truly believe that he wants to change.

17. I’m so glad he came out and said this, even if it took a while he did it on his terms when he was ready to face all his mistakes and move on. This is good if he truly wants to change, you have my support in recovery 🙏🏾

18. Everybody can change.
    Keep working hard James. Cancel culture shouldn’t be life and death for these people.

19. That was good that he let him

20. People make mistakes and I’m not condoning what he’s done. I appreciate his honesty. I’ve seen comments saying we shouldn’t forgive him but isn’t that a vital part of being human?

21. He’s gaslighting

22. Very proud of you James. This took courage. Crazy how easy it is to replace one addiction with another, subconsciously. Then once you have the aha moment its so powerful and humbling. We all all on a journey and you are exactly where you are meant to be. Much love to you.

23. @Yogsen Forfoth so ur saying if somebody made a mistake they should never ever be forgiven because i know without a doubt in my mind that me, you and everybody has made a mistakke in life and even if the severity of it is different everyone should be forgiven including James

24. You can tell how genuine James is when he sighs deep before admitting a truth and glossing over that he was sponsoring other with problems. Nothing he did is justified but he seems at the very least remorseful and hhonest

25. Publicly. . .
    If I found out any dude took advantage of a friend or my sister I would 🖐🖐
    At some point u have to throw ppl like that away
    We all have addictions but unless u have a “mental health ” problem then u know what you are doing
    The world is tired of trash 🗑 ppl
    🙂

26. 40 something year old man in recovery 🤔
    U must be under a spell

27. Nah
    At some point u have to throw ppl away
    And that’s okay
    Being human is not about that and we need to stop trying normalize that

28. @woke1 in other words you have nothing worthwhile to add 👍🏼

29. @Synthesizer Patel I’ve said all I had to say and will not waste my time on mindless ppl that stand with ppl who take advantage of others

30. @woke1 you’ve already spent a fair bit of time telling me you’re not going to waste your time

31. @Oh Elden Ring now I don’t like what he done but he was honest about everything he said and is seeking help so have some sympathy hate always makes things worser than it should be.

32. Completely dismissing what everyone else has to say. Lol good job woke one

33. Y’all don’t even know, nor would ever be able to comprehend how strong he is for being silent for so long and then coming on here and speaking his truth like this. James has always been one of my favorite actors, and my respect for him has grown astronomically.

34. I have BPD, and this guy really sounds like he might have it too. Everything he says in this video, as well as other stuff I’ve heard him say, describes BPD down to a tee. The empty void, the inability to form healthy relationships, the instability, the wake of damage you leave behind even though you dont mean to hurt people.

35. @woke1 True. And that’ll be a personal decision for different people. A more important decision for people who directly have to interact with Franco and not so much for “fans”. Hopefully Franco makes his amends to the people he needs to and is sincere in his self awareness and recovery.

36. @matilda You okay bro?

37. Gee with empathy huh? You think maybe james paid him off, seriously?!?.

38. James Franco bad. Lost all respect

39. Nope

40. Nah, James is anything but honest or humble

41. Nope, he’s a terrible person

42. @Big Brother he was of course and it was terrible; but can we as a developing society give people a second chance?

43. @Oh Elden Ring it’s almost like he’s also a human being and is fallible

44. Def !!! Reminds me of my ex gf

45. @ourcorrect opinions k. you just as weird as James, I’m getting creepy vibes from u mr.judgement.

46. @Angel A also not a judge

47. 💕

48. Hello my gorgeous fan! Thank you so much for your good wishes, even your likes and comments! I believe they’re true! I can’t respond to y’all but I’ll do my best from time to time. I love you xoxo

    James Franco ❤❤

49. @ruhn people nowadays won’t give a second chance as if they we’re a freakin god judging life and death to these people that want to change 😩

50. @ruhn i believe James can change 😀

51. @el cal Oh please cut the non sense. If you choose to oblige and you do because you WANT TO PROGRESS as an actress. It means you are agreeing to do it. If you are so greedy to get that job to the point you are willing to sexualize yourself just to get a job. Shame on you. He wasnt forcing that lady to undress. It was unethical and he should go to jail for making unethical conducts. But the woman should go to jail too for performing unethical conduct.

52. he’s a great actor and never disappoints in his work.

53. ‘His truth’ LOL yikes

54. haha

55. @Mr. Bob Dobalina • 93 years spot on!

56. Well, and he’s also trying to rescue his career…

57. @James Edward Franco hiii

58. I’m an alcoholic as well I’ve been sober for 10 months but only because I’m on probation and I hate to put it like that you know because I do have a problem with moderation. I learned in AA that you only end up in 3 places jail, institutionalized or death and I’ve been to 2 of those places. It’s a real struggle and I hope that I can stay sober but I wouldn’t get on it.

59. @Ardji Yeremia agreed. Everyone can IF they have the humility to

60. @Angel A you either do something bad and you serve jail time or pay victims compensation or if it’s not that bad then just keep living as you were before but with a shadow of embarrassment and public’ constant criticism. “Cancelling” is not something that is in legislation

61. “Speaking his truth”, oh my god, this is too much cringe for one paragraph 🤣🤣🤣

62. @Angel A simps, lol

63. @Harry Skywalker you were being passive aggressively unkind

64. @the_feature_selector I didn’t mean to come off that way. It’s just a bit appalling that they cannot see the issue. Even I, who is cheering for Franco, sees the problem. And it’s evident.

65. Is Amber Heard’s baby daddy James Franco? He should file for custody.

66. Good thing to point out.

67. He looks terrified of him

68. @Paul It seems to me, that this is not a celebrity issue. It’s a character issue. There are not lots of non-famous people who have sex addictions.

69. so james how was spiderman will you be in another

70. It’s his job to seem very genuine

71. @Chi Quita Feldberg people are never allowed to change and get better?

72. @Aqeel Raja Statatroy rape and other predatory behaviour should be redeemable, are you serious?

73. @a______�______a first you have to prove all the allegations are true. It’s innocent until proven guilty.

74. No such thing!

75. Great interview. Such discussions must happen. Society’s been feeding off of trauma for too long. That’s the future’s demand.

76. @razzle bautista

77. @Forever England thanks doc. You should know

78. That’s how actors operate; Fugue disassociation. Splintered mind.

79. Funny how the dude wasn’t “Cancelled”

80. I’m not a celebrity and have a problem with that to 😂

81. Actions speak louder than words. I do believe in a second chance, but only time will tell if he’s genuin about it all, or not.
