Earlier this week the was plenty of internet buzz about a Gawker article called ‘James Franco Is Living With a Man’ that strongly implied the actor is in a gay relationship with frequent collaborator Scott Haze. The evidence Gawker had was taking little bits of a New York Times article – such as that the old art school buddies are ‘now so close that describing them merely as friends would be a disservice’ – and spinning it into a full-blown gay love affair.
The fact they seem to be sharing an apartment for the summer seems to be the major evidence, as apparently two men who aren’t screwing each other can’t possibly live in the same place. And for some reason the Gawker article seems to think that the fact they don’t take separate cars back to their shared apartment is absolute evidence they are bum buddies.
Now James has had his say about the article, and as always with a man who loves to stoke the speculation around his sexuality, he’s more rolling his eyes and pointing fingers at the attitude behind the writing of the article than worrying about the fact it says he and Haze are probably shagging.
