ALBAWABA - Hollywood actor James Franco recently sparked debate after sharing alleged "alien" footage on TikTok. In response, the actor was mocked by viewers who said that he has officially lost his mind.
Others pointed out that the actor was faking it to garner attention by posting about it for weeks. On July 13, Franco released the security footage in question and further stated that people have tried to shut him down.
Franco said, "I promised you I'd reveal something, because I found something... It was thrust upon me, I didn't ask for this."

The 127 Hours actor added, "People said I'm crazy. I've been through a lot... My account got hacked twice; people trying to shut me down so I don't get this out. But I need to get this out."
He then said, "I'm putting my money where my mouth is," then pulled out his laptop to show viewers the alleged "alien" footage. The clips featured mysterious figures, one behind a tree and another peeking through the window.
James Franco returned to social media on June 3 with a new TikTok account after going on a long 8-year hiatus after he was accused of sexual misconduct. Since then, he has shared several videos where he appeared disoriented, stating that he's being watched and followed. Moreover, he repeatedly denied that the alien video was a stunt to garner views and promised to release the footage on July 13.
He wrote in anticipation, "The day is here. 7/13 7:13 more footage dropping soon."
