James Franco Poses in Drag for Candy Magazine

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 6th 2010 06:46AM

Ever wonder what James Franco would look like as a woman? Now you don't have to.

Franco posed for the cover of Candy magazine in drag, with heavy makeup, long black gloves and jewelry.

According to The Huffington Post, Candy describes itself as "the first fashion magazine ever completely dedicated to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations."

The actor recently graced the cover of The Advocate, in which he denied being gay despite all the rumors surrounding his sexuality, but talked about playing homosexual characters in film.

"Sure, I'd tell you if I was [gay]," he admitted. "I guess the reason I wouldn't is because I'd be worried that it would hurt my career. I suppose that's the reason one wouldn't do that, right? But no, that wouldn't be something that would deter me. I'm going to do projects that I want to do."

His career, however, is doing just fine. Many believe Franco's turn in '127 Hours' as rock climber Aron Ralston will earn him his first Oscar nomination.

No word if he'll wear a tux or a dress to the ceremony.

So you're saying that femininity is sickening to you, as applied to a male or anything else? Did you murder the feminine side of yourself when you were a child, just like your peers told you to?

People are WAYYYYY too uptight! First off.. IM GAY! and from a GAY point of view he looks FIERCE! And 100% HETEROSEXUAL! I think its AMAZING that he is confident enough in his sexuality to dress as a woman and grace the cover of a magazine noted to be a publication for gay/tranny/CD readers. It ONLY shows that he is a GREAT actor and not afraid of opening new doors. I think this will do WONDERS for his already blossoming career. Trust me.. Im a LIFETIME GAY and there is NOTHING GAY about James Franco.

BEEEYACH, I so agree with you, this is the same sexy man who was on G.H as a killer. He opens himself to a lot, there will be no type casting him,he has and still is showing he is an awesome actor. At first I thought it was an old picture of Boy George,( I loved him and his music)gay or not. Even if Mr.Franco was gay I would still love him, he has mastered his craft and continues to wow us.

You are correct. My daughter knows him from NYU and he dated one of her best friends. Totally straight and totally secure in his sexuality.

By Daniel

I no longer want to have sex with him.

I mean....he looks GAY! YEAH SUPER GAY!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! But seriously he was super hot but WTF

By Jay Jay

Okay, he's deinitly gay. And another thing is when he said that if he is gay he would'nt say anything because it might hurt his career....uuuh, you just admitted that you are. Damne...just the idea of him dressing like that and making gay movies just changed his whole image.

Actually my daughter knows him from when he went to NYU. He is straight and dated one of her friends. He is just not the least bit homophobic and very secure in his sexuality. Nobody said Sean Penn was gay in Milk. People think Franco is gay because he is so good looking.

Most of us women could learn aout style from our transexual or drag sisters. James Franco looks absolutely fabulous!!!!

By Donna

It takes a confident man to dress up like a woman.
Just because someone talks about others being gay, does not mean that he is too. And even if he was,, so what.
He looks beautiful as a woamn, better than most woman do.

By LeAnn

I think he's a great actor. I did not like his whiney butt so much in the Spiderman movies, but he is great. I think he looks better as a woman. That sucks, cause I am a woman and look far from that good.

By robin

What a brave thing to do , gay or straight...He's gorgeous as both a man or a woman, and he is talented beyond belief...What's not to love??
