James Franco and Scott Haze: More than BFFs?
Hey, I’m not saying it wouldn’t be completely hot if James Franco and Scott Haze were boyfriends but I’m not quite buying Gawker’s take on the relationship.
Gawker decided to read between the lines of a recent New York Times article on Franco who directed Haze in Child of God.
The site notes that reporter Jacob Bernstein points out in the piece that Franco and Haze ‘met about a decade ago when they were acting students in Los Angeles,’ are ‘so close that describing them merely as friends would be a disservice,’ and are ‘sharing an apartment in Brooklyn this summer.’
But the real evidence is this part of the article: ‘By now, it was 12:30 a.m. and Mr. Franco was clearly fading. An assistant pointed him and Mr. Haze to two waiting town cars. Mr. Franco expressed surprise, since they needed only one. “We live in the same place,” he said.’
Gawker concludes that the relationship is ‘somewhat ambiguous, seemingly gay, probably romantic’ and uses it as the latest example of The Times being sent into a ‘moral panic’ when writing about closeted celebrities.
Franco got wind of Gawker’s take and responded on Instagram: ‘GAWKER – always getting the cutting edge, homophobic scoop!!! Go see CHILD OF GOD in theaters and see me direct my live-in boyfriend, SCOTT HAZE!!! Love you SCOTT!!!!’

RichB says:
I’ve heard of people, male and female live in same condo building or same apartment building – having same steet address. Friends, often best friends can be good neighbors with or without benefits or even share same front door… not often something more and often less.
James says:
I don’t know. It’s too exhausting trying to figure out James’ sexuality. I’ve given up trying.
Joe says:
James is so funny. If he was gay, I’m sure he’d have no problem saying so.
