‘ I met Franco years ago and I remember he was surprisingly a lot shorter than I expected. I’m 5’5″, he wasn’t much taller than me. It was so much of a shock that his height was the first thing my friend and I commented on after Franco left. 5’10” in his dreams, but it’s hard to say how tall. His whole frame was smaller I would have thought too.’

He had to learn how to box, here is what the celebrity himself had to say about the experience, ‘ Boxing involves completely different muscles and a lot more endurance than sword fighting, which I quickly realized.’ He scaled through and much to his trainer’s surprise, he did an extraordinary job.

His trainer was quite impressed, ‘Right from the beginning James Franco worked harder than any fighter I’ve worked with, he worked just like a champion and he picked it up, man, he really picked it up!’
