James Franco recalls gay dance

James Franco, 34, reveals his classmates made up a dance about him being gay. The Lovelace star insists rumors about his sexuality don't bother him because he has been subjected to them since high school. He told MTV News: "In high school these girls got mad at me and so they spread this rumor that I was having a gay relationship with one of my closest friends. And they even made up a little dance they would do in the girls' locker room about me being gay. I still don't know what the dance was." The actor who has been single since his relationship with actress Ahna O'Reilly ended in 2011, insists he doesn't care if people think he is gay. Discussing the speculation that still surrounds his sexuality, James - who has played gay characters in films such as Milk and Howl - added: "It wasn't like it was anything new. And in fact, it wasn't something that frightened me, like if people think that, it's fine. I really don't care."
