No one is sure exactly what James Franco “studies” when he’s being gawked at in the West 4th Starbucks, but it definitely isn’t for his acting class (maybe Queer Cinema?).
Yesterday, NYU’s most popular student told Showbiz411.com that he received a D grade in his Tisch acting class. As we mentioned back in March, he’s now at Yale “working on his PhD” in the graduate writing program, where he can further boast about his Ivy League education while ditching his NYU roots.
But getting into Yale after scoring a D in Tisch? How’d that happen? According to Franco, “I did the work, I did well in everything else.” Apparently, his acting professor was’nt so eager to give Saul from Pineapple Express a break.
Now, he’s buried in “a class in Walt Whitman with a massive amount of reading.” Enjoy the shameless gawking, Yale.

I don’t think he ever really took NYU seriously, anyways.
I still don’t understand how he got into Yale. I knew someone that went to school with him at UCLA, and it turned out that he was a C-average student. He was also asked to be the commencement speaker there last year (or the year before?), but students forced the school to replace him due to his lackluster grades and the fact that he didn’t really take advantage of his time at UCLA……
