Franco, who is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, sat for an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot and gave an interview for the magazine’s annual Hollywood Portfolio, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But after the allegations against The Disaster Artist surfaced, he was digitally removed from the cover.

Franco has been accused of harassment by five women. The claims surfaced post his Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy win at the Golden Globes for The Disaster Artist.
