James Franco alien video sparks widespread reactions
One page sharing Franco's clip wrote “James Franco Drops His Alien Footage. Crystal clear alien in 4k. James Franco poker face. Either the footage is real or James Franco lost his mind.”
Another added “The clip is deeply strange, the prank probability is HIGH, and the timing screams 'project announcement incoming.' Most celebrity comebacks start with a podcast apology tour. He skipped that and went straight to ‘aliens in the backyard’.”
Yet another remarked “Either James Franco is taking the mickey or he has lost his marbles. As he says, he's been through a lot.” Some also slammed Franco for hyping up the big reveal saying they were left disappointed with that the actor ultimately showed.
"This Id*ot James Franco spent weeks building hype for an "alien reveal"....only to deliver what looks like a cheap costume. The biggest threat to UFO disclosure isn't secrecy. It's people turning the phenomenon into cheap entertainment for clicks. Every fake "alien reveal" makes the next genuine case easier to dismiss. I was once fan of this man Aagghhhhh!," one remarked.
Many online also claimed that the actor might have an alien movie in the works and the apparent big reveal was part of a promotional stunt. “Your not fooling me! It’s promotion for his new alien movie next year,” one commented.
