Will The Real Dave Franco Please Stand Up?

Will The Real Dave Franco Please Stand Up?

DAVE FRANCO IS GOOD LOOKING.

Some would even say, great looking. Indeed, the Internet is teeming with women saying they would kill to be with him. And though he recently got married to comedian Allison Brie, the adoration hasn’t stopped. It’s all a bit surprising since Franco got his start playing cocky, annoying characters in movies like Fright Night and 21 Jump Street. He’s also always been in the shadow of brother James Franco. However, with his new projects like The Little Hours and The Lego Ninjago Movie, he’s finally come into his own. Enter Dave Franco.

What was it like growing up in such a creative family?

My family inspires me in a lot of ways. Everyone is an artist, in some respect. We definitely feed off each other’s energy. The friends I grew up with would always make fun of us saying that our Thanksgivings consisted of us all sitting around the table making sculptures out of our mashed potatoes. And that’s not too far off from the truth. Even now, when we go back home to visit our parents over the holidays, we’ll perform mini plays. We’ll draw with each other and go Christmas carolling together.

Could you describe how your relationship with your brother James has evolved?

My brother and I have always got on well. In the earlier part of my career, I’ve always made a conscious effort to distance myself from him in the work arena. I didn’t want people to refer to me as “James Franco’s little brother”. I tried to do my own thing.
