James Franco Instagram Stunt (SSR)

While I was on my tumblr I happened to scroll past a conversation between James Franco and a 17 year old girl. Franco apparently started talking to the girl on instagram through direct message and then texts. He asked how old she is and she said she was turning 17 about to be 18 and he was making jokes saying tell me when you turn 18. The girl didn't believe it was Franco so she asked for a picture of his face. He sent her 'selfies' and one including a paper with her name on it. The pictures of the conversation surfaced online and on the news.
Franco admits to flirting with the girl and have apologized for it. The instagram stunt was also a promotion for his film known as "Palo Alto". Seeing the messages online, I viewed them as funny due to knowing the type of person Franco can be. He is a comedian and actor and he is smart enough to not do something like that without jeopardizing his career. People are making a big deal and I see why, but it was just a little stunt and he apologized. They need to move on. To see the article click here.
