James Franco reveal during interview with David Letterman
“People said I was under the influence,” he told “Late Show” host David Letterman last night.
“Now why would they say that?” Letterman said, to big laughs.
“I’ve thought about it. I think I know why, because — I love her — but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway,” he said.

A high-ranking member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has apparently agreed that the selection of James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host this year’s Oscars telecast was a mistake.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the member, who asked not to be identified, said, “A lot of us said Franco, who is a good actor, is the wrong guy when it was announced. … We questioned the TV value of both hosts, and it turned out to be right.”
The member also complained about allowing the show’s producers to select the hosts, without any input from the Academy’s board of governors, reports Contactmusic.
But Academy President Tom Sherak disagreed, saying, “When you hire producers, you have to have confidence they are going to put on the show you are looking for.”
Yet Sherak himself voiced discontent with the performance of the two hosts, remarking that “the chemistry seemed to be off” between them and adding “The problem is, in the past when you have a comic, that comic can play off what happens on the show. … I think that was missing. I think they were doing their job. Franco is a very charming guy, but sometimes you need a comic to make fun of things.”
