‘Why Him’ Actor James Franco Surprises Co-Star Bryan Cranston With Marijuana; Shows Off Amazing Painting Talent [Watch]

James Franco seemed to have fallen in love with his character in the upcoming comedy film "Why Him?" as he reportedly enjoyed using weed as well- in his art, at least. The 38-year old actor even gave his co-star Bryan Cranston a Marijuana art as a gift.

Franco is famous for portraying hilarious characters such as his role in "Why Him?" as Laird Mayhew, an eccentric millionaire app-developer who tries to win the heart of his girlfriend's (Zoey Deutch) parents especially her father Ned Flemming played by Bryan Cranston himself. Part of his character is owning interesting artworks which according to the actor, were mostly made by himself, as reported on Entertainment Tonight.

In fact, James Franco shared that when they showed some bizarre paintings to him, he suggested having his own artworks instead, which he termed to be "funnier and more in line with the character." Among such is a painting of a pair of humping capybaras with a title at the bottom, which he showed in his guesting in "Conan" along with Cranston.

The 60-year old actor could not hide his giggles as the painting was flashed on screen. Defending his art, Franco said it should've been "F-word hamsters" but when put online, people claimed it to be capybaras and so he "PG'd it" instead.

Conan O'Brien then flashed another painting which "The Interview" star gave to Cranston as a gift. It's a plain marijuana leaf over a white canvas painted with actual marijuana leaves, which to the "Breaking Bad" actor brought home to his wife.

Cranston then shared a conversation with his wife for 30-years where she said the painting might not fit anywhere in their simple Connecticut home. Franco suggested "over the bed" to which Bryan agreed eagerly.

What do you think of James Franco's art? Truly there's not a dull moment with the actor/director/author and if you haven't watch their recent guesting, you may see the clip below. Be sure to also catch "Why Him?" as it hits the cinemas starting Friday, December 23.
