Not only might James Franco be gay, but when he was 19 years old, he filmed his sexcapades. Thanks to that experience, Mr. Franco has a great respect for porn stars.

Though we're still confused as to why the media's calling him a Spiderman star. Spiderman villain, maybe, but hey! Whatever. Yesterday, he was celebrating his very first Academy Award nomination for his role in 127 Hours.

That's right, James Franco admitted to having filmed himself having sex a time or two as a teen at Newsweek's Oscar roundtable discussion.

“I think anybody who has made a home sex tape knows, what feels best doesn't always look best. I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, “Oh, that looks horrible.’” said Franco. “You have a lot of respect for those actors in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, they're really selling it. You understand what it's like to be intimate with someone, so you just kind of let yourself go over to that situation.”
