Paul Rust Details James Franco's Meltdown After Panned 2011 Oscars Hosting

Rust recounts Franco's outburst on a CollegeHumor set, reportedly fueled by backlash to his hosting performance with Anne Hathaway.

Comedian Paul Rust shared on his podcast that James Franco had a heated outburst during a CollegeHumor sketch shoot in 2011, just days after the Oscars.
Franco reportedly mumbled through his lines, ignored direction, and eventually stormed off the set, leaving the project unfinished.
The actor's behavior was attributed to negative reviews of his co-hosting performance with Anne Hathaway at the 2011 Academy Awards, which was widely criticized as awkward and lackluster.
Rust recalled Franco making off-script comments, including a remark referencing unfounded drug allegations from the Oscars night.
Danny McBride, Franco's co-star in the sketch, reportedly tried to calm him down, but Franco ultimately left and did not return to the set.
