James Franco: 'Grateful' for Being Canceled After Sexual Misconduct Allegations
The actor and director has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, and has since seen his career plummet.
James Franco has said he is "grateful" for being canceled after he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women in 2018.
The actor and director, who has starred in films such as "127 Hours" and "Spider-Man," has seen his career plummet since the allegations were made.
Franco has admitted to some of the allegations, but has denied others.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Franco said he is "not as bad as people think."
"I'm not a predator. I've never preyed on anyone. I've never forced myself on anyone. I've never been violent," he said.
Franco also said he is "grateful" for being canceled because it has given him time to reflect on his behavior and make changes.
"I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. I'm still learning," he said.
"But I'm committed to being a better person. I'm committed to making amends for the hurt that I've caused."
It remains to be seen whether Franco will be able to resurrect his career. But his comments suggest that he is taking the allegations against him seriously and is committed to making changes.
In the meantime, Franco has been working on a number of projects, including a memoir and a new film.
He has also been teaching at the University of Southern California.
It is unclear whether Franco will ever be able to fully recover from the allegations against him.
But his comments suggest that he is determined to move forward and make amends for his past behavior.
