James Franco and Ashley Benson Mock Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez in Bizarre 'Boyfriend' Music Video Spoof [WATCH]
Rumors are swirling that Hollywood heartthrob/oddball James Franco is currently dating "Spring Breakers" costar Ashley Benson... the two recently filmed a rather bizarre yet hugely entertaining spoof of the popular music video "Boyfriend," mocking teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Franco sports a nifty Biebs wig and "swag" hat while Benson prances around in a brunette wig and pink belly top (reminiscent of Selena Gomez?). Read on to check out the wacky/hilarious lip-syncing spoof below.
The 34-year-old "Pineapple Express" actor quickly deleted the "Boyfriend" video parody just moments after posting it on his personal WhoSay webpage on Monday (Jan. 7).... fortunately, an avid fan was quick to save the clip before it entered cyber world oblivion. The video has since gone viral on Youtube:
The amateur video spoof was filmed in a dark hotel room, with disco-esque lights following Franco as he awkwardly dances his way around to the bed. The 23-year-old "Pretty Little Liars" star pops in-and-out of the frame every now and then, shaking her booty and kissing on Franco's ear. The parody resembles some sort of Bieber-Gomez sex tape scenario... but with both stars remaining clothed the entire time. Another dark-haired female enters the scene by the end of the vid, making for one extremely bizarre (yet oddly sexy) parody "threesome."
The spoof was posted on YouTube on Tuesday, January 7 and has already garnered over a whopping 219,000 views. Odd timing, considering reports confirm that the Biebs and his own "Spring Breakers" starlet recently split while on a "romantic" Mexico getaway. The clip also rekindles rumors that Franco and Benson are actually dating... or at least were at some point. Mstarz originally reported:
Franco and Benson co-star in the upcoming film "Spring Breakers," which may be how the duo met and started getting romantically involved. According to one New York Post inside source close to Franco, "They have been seeing each other for a little over a month, but things are going well." The couple was spotted on an intimate walk through Washington Square Park in New York City in October and were holding hands at a L.A. Halloween haunted attraction around Halloween time (only fueling the dating rumors).
