James Franco Went To Poetry Class After Oscar Nomination

James Franco Went To Poetry Class After Oscar Nomination

James Franco signs autographs before going into The Daily Show to tape an appearance on Tuesday (January 25) in New York City.

The 32-year-old actor told Jon Stewart that despite finding out he had been nominated for an Oscar for 127 Hours, he still went to his poetry class at Yale instead of taking the day off to celebrate!

“I wouldn’t want to push it!” James said. “I got the announcement, and then I went on the Today show, then I walked down the street and went into class.”

FYI: James is wearing a Gucci coat.

since when did the act of just going to college make you a cross between Stephen Hawking and Noam Chomsky? geesh… i need to start patting myself on the back more. “poetry class” mind you…

WOW… hot, sexy, talented, hipster, AND bohemian. He is SUCH a hottie. Go away @hannah! He’s NOT annoying.

James is just adorable! I am so glad he is finally sort of “blossoming,” and getting recognized! He strikes me as someone who is very shy in personality, but he is getting more comfortable in himself as he gets older. He is so spontaneous and real.

Yes, definitely bohemian and everything else, #5. I agree. I’m glad he is making it cool to get education. People should never stop trying to learn something. It makes life way more interesting, and it causes you to look at stuff differently and understand it and appreciate stuff more. Some people think college is only if you want a good job, but taking classes for yourself is just as important.

He goes to Columbia/NYU, not Yale which is not down the street from the filming of the Today Show, in NYC. Regardless though, he’s super hot and smart – what could be better?

HE IS HHOOOOOOTTTTTT

He looks just like a handsome, hip student should.

i dont find his “im studying” thing charming, he’s so pretentious he talks about it all the time and if you watched the oscar roundtable you’d see what a douche he actually said “i went to film school” in such a self important way as if that makes his words more important than the other actors, he’s not humble at all

he’s tireless:2 days ago,he partied at Sundance movie fest,he’s preparing Oscar host,he’s acting in a movie,he will direct a movie,he ‘s studying Yale……

@hannah: I so agree with you! Ugh, he’s so far up his own a$$ that he may never find his way out. Very pretentious and icky.

@carey:

wrong, he’s getting his phd at yale like he says in the interview. we see him all the time around campus, and i have several friends who have had classes with him. he’s also directing a show here with undergrads.

Love James! This man is awesome!

@carey: You’re wrong. The crew of The Today Show went to Yale instead of the other way around. And if u watched the interview he clearly states he went to Yale.

i seriously want to marry hiiiiiiiim
