be kind. rewind.

A fearless James Franco admits that back when he was 19, he made a sex tape.

Permission to freak out?

During an interview about acting, the 127 Hours star was asked about the secret to a good kiss scene. James explained that it had nothing to do with the person you’re smooching, and then tried out a metaphor to help us all understand: “I think if anybody who has made a home sex tape knows, what feels best doesn’t always look best…I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, oh, that looks horrible.”

The shameless star continued: “[I] have a lot of respect for those actors in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, they’re really selling it. It’s the same thing with a kiss. It’s not just the kiss that feels best, it’s an image. Something different is happening if it’s a good kiss.”
