James Franco, the 48-year-old former actor, has released a bizarre video claiming an alien is living in his garage, prompting viewers to declare he has 'lost his marbles.' The footage, posted on July 13, 2026, follows a series of erratic social media posts over the past month.
Franco's Alien Revelation
In the video, Franco opens his laptop to show black-and-white clips of a humanoid figure with large eyes and no hair, which he says is an alien. 'I promised you, I was going to reveal something because I found something,' he said, adding that the discovery was 'thrust upon me.' He claimed his account had been hacked twice in an attempt to silence him.
After playing the clips, Franco closed the computer and declared, 'Okay. 'Nuff said.' The video has drawn comparisons to aliens in 'Scary Movie 3' and 'Paul,' leading many to suspect a promotional stunt.
Public Reaction
Viewers were skeptical. On X, user Mariateam wrote, 'He lost the marbles long time ago.' On TikTok, Damien commented, 'Lol keeping a straight face is pretty impressive,' while Tingtong said, 'Franco has lost his marbles.' Jersey Shore star Snooki chimed in with 'stop' and a side-eye emoji, which gained over 3,500 likes.
Despite Franco's insistence that the video is not a project, many speculate it promotes a film called 'Love Meets in the Sunshine,' which Franco's page follows. However, director Christian Guiton denied this, stating, 'It's not a science fiction movie. It's not a conspiracy movie.'
Background on Franco
Franco was shunned from Hollywood after being accused of sexual misconduct during the Me Too movement, which he denied. In 2019, students at his now-closed Studio 4 film school sued him for inappropriate behavior. He settled for $2.2 million (£1.6 million) without admitting guilt. His close friend Seth Rogen has said he would not work with him again.
Franco has attempted a comeback but remains largely out of the spotlight. The alien saga continues to fuel debate about his mental health and motives.
