New James Franco App: 'It's Like Being in Bed With James Franco!'
James Franco is adding another title to his already long and varied resume: app creator. The newly launched Rando Franco is true to its name, promising "weird" and "rare" videos from Franco. One reviewer on Google Play even claims "it's like being in bed with James Franco!"
The description for the app in the Google Play store (the app is also available in the Apple Store) describes the app as "the only place to watch never-before-seen videos" by Franco and claims it is chock-full of "killer bunnies and makeout sessions" as well as "all kinds of things you won't soon forget."
The videos disappear after 24 hours, so users have to act fast to stay on top of the content. The app is also claiming some sort calling out from Franco if users follow him on social media.
The project came out of Franco's desire to "share his creative vault with people so it doesn't go to waste," the actor tells People. He also said he doesn't want all of his projects to "sit in storage."
His creative vault is a large one -- the 37-year-old is an actor, director, writer, teacher -- and that's just to name a few of his outlets.
So far, the app is receiving positive reviews from fans, receiving a 4.9 stars out of 5 on the Google Play store. One reviewer took the app as a chance to dis Kim Kardashian's app, saying, "[Kim Kardashian] has had her app for a while but she's a joke. It's cool that a respected and actual talented person is doing this now."
Franco drew the wallpaper for the app and acts as producer through his company, Rabbit Bandini Productions. Maker Studios also helped develop the app.
The app debuted in November and has a Teen rating for suggestive themes and language.
