You may want to sit down for this one:

It seems James Franco is being a creeper on Instagram. We know, we know. It’s pretty shocking stuff. But hey, at least this time, Franco’s not hitting on teenagers

Instead he’s just falsely claiming that he knocked up one of his baby-faced former co-stars. Gross, yes – but at least he can’t be prosecuted for it!

You may recall that Franco and a bikini-clad Selena Gomez starred in the jiggly 2012 film Spring Breakers. Or, you may have blocked Franco’s bad Riff Raff impression out of your mind, in which case, good for you! 

Yes, the film was remarkable only for how unmemorable it was (despite the fact that just about ever scene featured half-naked, gun-wielding college girls), but James Franco, PhD is forcing us to talk about it again.

Franco posted the above photo of Gomez on Instagram, with a caption reading, "Selene [we assume he meant "Selena"] and I had a baby. It was born during Sprang [we assume he meant "Spring"] Break!"

Obviously, it was an attempt at humor and even if Franco and Gomez hooked up on the set of Spring Breakers, it wouldn’t ave been illegal, just seriously creepy. (Selena was 19 during fliming, and Franco was 33.)

All this would be no big deal, were it not for the fact that Franco has a history of behaving inappropriately toward very young girls!

So just play it safe and lay off Selena, James. The girl dated Justin Bieber; she’s had it rough enough.
