Everyone's favorite actor/producer/director/author/screenwriter/artist/Yale PhD candidate/UCLA professor (why) James Franco dropped a bomb on Instagram a few nights ago- he's officially hopped onto the pastel hair trend, and he looks much better than any of us could ever hope. Stop what you're doing and peep at this:
Beautiful, right? Right. Don't try to deny it. He debut his new style on Instagram with the caption "ONLY in AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 RIFF RAFF (@jodyhighroller) video dropping soon!!!" "Jody High Roller" is one of about a half of a million nicknames for rapper and insane person Riff Raff known for his crazy looks and outlandish attitude. However, Franco's hair might be more of an olive branch than a new look, as him and Riff Raff have a long history of beef, medium rare.
In 2013, Riff accused Franco of stealing his look for Franco's character in Spring Breakers, and in true American style, threatened to sue his ass to the tune of ten million dollars. In an interview with TMZ, Riff confessed to reporters that he thinks he deserved some of the money Franco made off Spring Breakers, saying-
"It’s like if I have a front yard. And you’re planting soil and you’re planting trees and building peaches and houses and selling parking lots on my property, then I deserve to be compensated for some portion of that money.”
I'm still trying to figure out if James Franco is the peaches or the soil in this analogy, but one thing is certain- James Franco looks much better in the pastel hair trend than any of us women on Instagram. But what does it mean? Is it real? Is it a wig? Is this some kind of weird, nonsensical art project? Is it for a movie? Is it just his new look? Have he and Jody finally squashed their beef? We have so many questions, and no answers. One thing, however, is for sure- Riff Raff is loving the attention, and recently changed his profile picture to the shot of Franco for his 1.1 million Twitter followers.
Can we expect a rap debut from Franco soon? Or an acting cameo from Mr. High Roller himself? God I hope not.
