James Franco is known for his acting talents, his academic pursuits and his “performance art” projects, but Franco freely admits to what preceded his current career: a life of crime.

“I guess my life of crime started by stealing cologne,” Franco said during a sit-down with James Lipton for Inside the Actors Studio. “We’d keep them [cologne sample bottles] in the locker, in our gym locker at school and we’d sell some from the lockers.”

We never knew he was such a bad boy! But one thing we did know: Franco’s a little… weird. Before he made it big, he worked the drive-through window at McDonald’s and said he liked to “practice accents” as he waited on customers. James Franco may not be boyfriend material, but he’d be a great guy to get a drink with! (Page Six/NYPost)
