Many fans, especially women, reacted when they saw the recent post on James Franco's Instagram. The actor posted a news clip that revealed why he can't get a date. He captioned the image, "I can't get a date, I'm too shy. Please help. Pwwweeeaasseee"
It was really hard to believe that because the "Palo Alto" star has a reputation for posting nearly naked photos and videos on Instagram. He even accepted the ALS Bucket Challenge from Selena Gomez and did the challenge without any pants. He was even gyrated while covering his private parts with a piece of paper. Now, do you call that shy?
Some of his followers flirted with him and you can see the posts on James Franco's Instagram. One follower wrote, "OH James that's really hard. Come to Germany in my town and let's talk about your problem." Another Instagram user wrote, "never mind James, come here in Italy I have a lot of friends to introduce to u that will make u feel at ease."
The 36-year old actor has been single for too long now. His last relationship was with Ahna O'Reilly, whom he dated for 5 years. The couple called it quits in 2011, but he was romantically linked with several women, including Lana Del Rey.
James Franco was rumored to be dating the 29-year old musician when he posted a photo of them together. A few days ago, he posted another photo with Lana Del Rey and they were sitting on a bench in Coney Island. They really looked like a couple, which again started rumors about them dating.
However, the actor revealed that he was still single and he even gave out the reason why he is still a bachelor. AZ Central reported James Franco telling Loaded magazine: ''I've always been a little shy in meeting women."
He explained, ''I've been getting better over the years at being able to speak more comfortably when I first meet someone." The controversial actor added, ''Obviously you have to be a little apprehensive on some occasions but usually it's all very natural.''
Based on what we see on James Franco's Instagram, do you really believe that he is a shy type?
