Or did he? That’s the question that’s burning on the minds of Queerty’s editorial staff. Please reserve your judgements for the comments section, but hey, if you made it this far, that means you’re curious just like us.
This tip (just the tip) came via Gawker, where the diligent staff takes a much-needed closer look at one of the pictures James put up on his Instagram last weekend:
Not convinced? Gawker’s art director worked some magic to give you a clearer look:
There’s definitely something resting on James’ thigh, and we’re really on the fence here whether or not he’s flashing some peen.
Ever the investigative sleuths, Gawker went a step further to imagine the position he’d have to be in to achieve the shot:
What do you think? Is James showing off his franco or is it just time for us all to clock out for the weekend?
BarLackey
Yep…. But you don’t see complete texture, which leads me to believe its peen, but under the guise of wet cloth.
Billy Budd
Isn’t it just one of his balls?
YouGoGurl
I agree with Billy Budd. Just potato, no meat.

I think someone on the editorial staff needs to get laid. Badly.
So much excitement over a maybe glimpse of a tiny part of James Franco’s peen. You baited me and I clicked. Well played.
Ron Jackson
Franco dick? Who cares.

I guess I’ve watched enough gay porn where celebrity penis means nothing to me.

@Lazycrockett: It would mean more if it were in action… preferably in action with Chris Pratt. Yes, James Franco… give us a Franco and Pratt sex scene… give us Fratt!!!

It’s Franco’s left leg that’s showing, and the supposed member is the fold of his loincloth around his hip.
Merv
I agree with Kit that it’s his left leg showing, so that can’t be his peen. Why do I think that? Because you can see his knee cap sticking out, and when your leg is bent your knee cap generally moves to the outside, which would make it his left leg.
David
That is his labia. And this is as infuriating as saying that you can see Ben Affleck’s dick in Gone Girl. Shameless journalism!

“Accidentally” my a*s! There is no bigger attention slore in this world than this guy. He’s a big movie star but that’s not enough; he’s gotta have constant attention from people or he thinks he’ll stop existing. Which is why he’s constantly teasing the gay community. I used to really like him; now I’m utterly sick of him.

James Franco doesn’t do anything by accident

Has anyone notice that JF and SR have the same neck ornament? It looks the same from this angle.
He, JF, is such a flirt; we can’t seem to get enough, for some reason.

James Franco seems to delight many homosexuals. But why?

@Paco: Booyah!

I would re-watch neighbors to see his little brother’s sweet ass again.

If ya gotta strain to see it, then it ain’t there, even if it is there.

WHO CARES?! Isn’t this obsession with perving at a penis the very same obsession at the base of the history which SUPPRESSED our bodies? Every male on earth has a penis. So, this is James Franco’s. Wow, what is so special about that? Isn’t the underlying comment (that he in fact should NOT be displaying himself under any circumstance) the complete opposite to the politics of liberation and self-respect? Qweerty feeds the very same prurient and salacious and titilating appetite at the heart of suppression.

Could be an optical illusion; but celebrity slips remind regular men to keep their tools camera-ready. Using a top notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) helps maintain penis health.

I don’t think James Franco has ever done anything accidentally.
