For years, Dave Franco navigated Hollywood primarily known as “James Franco’s little brother.” However, recent successes — including 21 Jump Street, the horror film Together co-starring his wife Alison Brie, and his performance in Seth Rogen’s The Studio — have established him as a talent in his own right. Despite this, comparisons to his older brother persist, particularly following the sexual misconduct allegations that effectively cast James Franco out of the mainstream industry in 2018.
The 127 Hours star faced multiple accusations during his Oscar campaign for The Disaster Artist. An ex-girlfriend accused him of sexual assault, while several former students of his acting school filed lawsuits alleging he was “sexually inappropriate” and ran a “Sex Scenes” class. James Franco later admitted to sleeping with students but maintained the class was separate from those relationships. Following the allegations, longtime collaborator Seth Rogen publicly cut ties with him.
In a 2021 appearance on The Jess Cagle Show, James Franco addressed the impact on his family, stating: “I don’t want Seth [Rogen, who has cut ties with James] or my brother or anyone to have to answer for me anymore.”
Dave Franco had never publicly commented on the allegations against his brother until a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. The conversation turned to the experience of interviewing family members and the unexpected vulnerability it creates.
Dave Franco referenced an Esquire shoot where he interviewed his brother, recalling: “Woah, we’ve never talked about any of this and you get kind of vulnerable and it’s kind of nice and you learn about each other.”
During the podcast, one of the co-hosts mentioned they had “forgot” Dave was related to James. The Together actor described the dynamic as “complicated.”
He continued: “I’ve felt a lot more [his own person] in recent years. It’s a complicated thing where I love my brother and I’m so grateful for the advice he gave me coming through this business.”
Dave Franco acknowledged the value of observing his brother’s career, saying he appreciated watching how James “navigated certain situations” and will “always be grateful for that.” He added: “I think in recent years I’ve kind of gone down my path long enough that people have started to give me my own due.” Dave noted this separation was especially challenging because “he’s a very talented [actor].”
Shepard compared the brothers’ dynamic to Frank and Sylvester Stallone, but observed that Dave had “risen up to be co-Sylvester.”
Former Bond girl Alison Papworth has weighed in on the ongoing speculation surrounding the next James Bond, stating that the iconic role should go to “another gorgeous man” as rumors intensify that the next 007 has already been selected.
Alison Papworth, who appeared in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy, shared her thoughts on the future of the franchise during a recent interview. With Daniel Craig’s tenure as Bond having concluded with No Time to Die in 2021, the search for his successor has been the subject of widespread media speculation and fan debate.
“The next 007 should be another gorgeous man,” Papworth said, emphasizing her belief that the character’s established appeal rests on a specific blend of sophistication, physicality, and charm.
Her comments come amid persistent rumors that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, alongside Amazon MGM Studios, may have already identified the next actor to portray the British spy. While no official announcement has been made, industry insiders have suggested that a decision could be imminent, potentially ending years of conjecture names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Regé-Jean Page have frequently circulated in betting markets and fan discussions.
The Bond franchise, one of the most valuable in cinema history, faces a pivotal casting choice that will define its direction for the next decade. Papworth’s perspective reflects a segment of the fanbase that favors continuity in the character’s traditional portrayal, even as broader conversations about modernizing the role continue.
Eon Productions has historically maintained tight control over casting announcements, typically revealing the new Bond only when a formal deal is secured. Until then, speculation — and opinions from franchise alumni like Papworth — will likely remain a staple of entertainment coverage.
The66-year-old actor maintains a low public profile and is seldom seen in public. His most recent public appearance was in April, when he was photographed riding his motorcycle.
