Fox News
In a new interview, actor James Franco opened up about the self-work he's done since he was accused of sexual misconduct and explained why his outlook on life has shifted.
"I’m so grateful to be working," said Franco, who portrays an alcoholic American WWII veteran in the new movie. "I did go through a lawsuit, and during that lawsuit I wasn’t working. But then COVID hit, so everybody wasn’t working. So, I don’t know, it was all… I mean, we were all kind of in it. So it was sort of like, ‘I don’t know what I am.’" Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"But I did certainly use the time to, I hope, good purpose," he continued. "And whatever had been going on with me before, I had to change my whole way of life. So I am proud of the kind of work I did during that time. And yeah, I wasn’t working in movies, but I certainly was doing a lot of work to change who I was."
