James Franco's Instagram followers, especially his female fans, were shocked when the actor announced that he got hitched. He posted a photo of himself together with recording artist Lana Del Rey and captioned that image: "Oh snap, we got married. JUST KIDDING!!!"
Even if the "Palo Alto" star mentioned that it was just a joke, some of his followers think that it's true. One Instagram user commented, "I wish that was me". Another user wrote, "I would have been ok if they did." After that post on James Franco's Instagram, rumors have been spreading that the 36-year old actor is secretly married to the 29-year old singer.
Since the marriage rumor is likely to be untrue, there are now rumors that James Franco is dating Lana Del Rey. The "Summertime Sadness" hitmaker recently broke up with her ex-boyfriend Barrie James O'Neill, which makes her free to date other men.
The "Of Mice and Men" star had shown admiration for the New York-born musician and you can see that on James Franco's Instagram page. E! Online reported that the actor posted a photo of himself with Lana Del Rey's arms wrapped around his neck during their stroll on the beach. He even wrote a line from her song, "Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin..."
Apart from posting photos of himself and the songstress, James Franco also showed his support to Lana Del Rey by promoting her new projects like her music video for "Ride". The trip hop artist, on the other hand, showed her support for James by watching his Broadway show. During that time, he posted a photo calling Lana his new friend. Maybe they have already taken things to the next level.
But it seems that there's a new girl dominating James Franco's Instagram page. The actor has been posting photos of himself and his "Michael" co-star Emma Roberts. He captioned his most recent photo with the actress, "Last day on "michael"! I love my Emma @emmaroberts". Just Jared Jr. was able to get images of James Franco making out with the 23-year old actress.
Is the actor trying to make Lana Del Rey jealous by giving more attention to Emma Roberts? I guess the answers will soon come out on James Franco's Instagram page.
