Artist/poet/actor and sometimes gay heterosexual (?) James Franco is trying his hand at painting this month, developing a new series of explicit paintings that strengthen his bromantic bond with comedian Seth Rogen.
The two pieces are part of the duo’s ongoing Gay Sex Art Project.
Franco posted a preview of the works to Instagram this morning. To put it bluntly, one painting depicts Rogen lying on his back completely naked, while the other, titled “Seth At Play,” features Rogen literally face-down, ass-up, with his scrotum dangling between his legs. (See the uncensored version on Instagram.)
There’s no telling whether Rogen actually posed for these paintings or if Franco drew them from memory; they have been incredibly close in the past.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
At this point, it seems like these two are just trying to out-gay each other. Earlier this month, Rogen proclaimed Zac Efron “The Sexiest Motherf*cker Alive” and allowed him to shove a dildo down his throat. And don’t even get us started on all the gay things James Franco has done.
Is heterosexuality going out of style?

These paintings are based on my drawings from 2011 which can be seen in this self-published book, Seth:

@Christopher: I bought that book so damn fast! Thank you!!
Curious if this is based on any knowledge or observation – or just imagination. I’m happy either way.

I hope he’s giving you credit and sending some publicity your way.
We need a word for this “Look how cool I am with the gays” overcompensation BS. It’s little better than the homophobic gay jokes they are replacing.
Christopher
@HadrianM: Thank you! They’re fan fiction drawings.

@Christopher: I remember Seth shared the original drawings himself when he was on Conan O’Brien’s show back in 2011.

@Christopher:
I was jumping in here to say the same thing…these are from someone else’s drawings. I remember seeing them originally on the Conan O’brien show.

I am so goddamn sick of his constant appropriation. He ISN’T gay, he’s just trying (ONCE AGAIN) to try and be just so damn fascinating. Also, Seth Rogan showing his a-hole is the farthest thing from sexy or especially gay, it’s revolting.

ohhh get a grip Pistolo …these 2 are nice guys whether gay or gay affirming……

Is it just me or is Mr Franco’s obsession with all things gay a little odd?

@Christopher: Seth at play is really hot!

A painting of a naked man is not gay. It’s just a painting of a naked guy.

@rextrek: How is it “gay affirming”? They’re just making a big joke of being gay. Like it’s so goofy and silly, they did it in that stupid Kanye spoof. Apparently, two men together is still good fodder for laughs. We never evolve too much, do we?

…”sometimes gay heterosexual…” Ha ha! Sounds about right.
