James Franco has everyone talking again after sharing footage of what he claims to be an alien in his back yard – but one thing about his bizarre TikTok<\/a> video isn\u2019t making sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, Franco – whose Hollywood career was derailed in 2018 after a series of sexual misconduct allegations<\/a> were made against him – started the TikTok account JamesFranco2319 last month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s been posting a series of odd videos wearing a t-shirt with a pause symbol taped onto it alongside the written name \u201cBruce Robins\u201d, where he rambles about \u201csome serious sh*t going on\u201d and his fears of being spied on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, the cryptic clips are centered on him tracking alien activity at his home. While some viewers initially suspected mental health issues, others suggest it\u2019s an elaborate stunt to promote his new movie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Franco is starring in Love Meets in the Sunshine, an upcoming road-trip comedy, which is one of three accounts he\u2019s following – alongside Christian Guiton, the film\u2019s director, and Shayne Davis, an actor who\u2019s been working with Franco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why the James Franco ‘alien’ footage doesn’t make sense<\/h2>\n

All of the videos have been leading up to his latest in which he presents the supposed alien footage. But there\u2019s one part of this whole thing that makes no sense: if this is all just a ruse to promote his next movie, why aliens?<\/span><\/p>\n
