Personal life
In 2008, Franco received his undergraduate degree in English from UCLA. He plans to move to New York for graduate school next year, and attend Columbia University's MFA Writing Program and New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts.
Art—painting in particular—is a talent Franco developed during his high school years while attending a rigorous summer school for the arts, California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA). Franco has said that painting was the "outlet" he needed in high school, and that he "has actually been painting longer than he has been acting." His paintings were displayed publicly for the first time at the Glü Gallery in Los Angeles, California from January 7, 2006 through February 11, 2006. Franco can also be seen painting in a scene in Spider-Man 3.
