    Holy Cow, James, eat a steak before you cut someone with those cheekbones of yours!

  2. Koki Kariya says:

    Originality fail. Anyone who reads GQ knows you ripped them off. For shame. *tsk tsk*

  3. Lacee says:

    James Franco played James Dean..

    He won a Golden Globe for his performance in 2001.

    The film was called.. Wait for it… James Dean.

  4. Erik says:

    Why the penis does James Franco even try looking sinister… or maybe he’s going for vampire debonair… either way, he fails horribly.

  5. Blaanam says:

    Looking like James Dean – Doing it pretty bad aksully

  6. meg says:

    one thing in common…they r both hotties!!

  7. Joel says:

    Finally, a real “looks like”

  8. devilwoman says:

    has anyone seen “acting with james franco” on funnyordie.com? in episode 3, he and his brother do a scene from rebel without a cause. hilarious

  9. Adrienne says:

    Good call on the similarity! But you are not the first to point this out, nor the last. If you’re on Facebook, check out or join the Group called JAMES FRANCO IS THE REINCARNATION OF JAMES DEAN that’s on there. I am a fan and know way more than I should about both actors and I got chills when I saw Franco play Dean in that HBO movie. Uncanny. He was a look-alike in every single frame of that. He deserved that Golden Globe, hands down bar none.

  10. SilverFire85 says:

    Did y’all ever stop to think that the reason Franco was chosen to play Dean was the similarity in looks? Come on people, stop being so nit picky.

  11. Dianna Trent says:

    Franco just DOES something to me!! Those lips are to die for!! Dean was fine, too! But it was a different time. I LOVE that pic of Franco! (jamesfranco.proboards77.com) (heyfranco.blogspot.com)

  12. Anne Nona Myss says:

    Franco is HOTTER

  13. lola smith says:

    Yeah I mean they do look totally alike but James Franco is way HOTTER

  14. Max says:

    He wishes.

  15. Eliza says:

    No duh, that’s why he played James Dean in a movie

  16. ash says:

    They don’t really look alike to me, but they have the same “essence” somewhat. Franco is more visually appealing to me, though.

  17. ms.chriss says:

    I agree. They definetly look alike otherwise James Franco wouldn’t have even been thought of to play James Dean. And majority rules – James Franco is way finer. He is sexy as hell! I realized that in Spiderman and he wasn’t even playing a sexy role. It just comes natural. Damn!

  18. melissa says:

    duhhhhhhhhh, he played James Dean !!! Not very original….weeeeeeeeee

  19. Marissa says:

    yummeh.

  20. lashan says:

    I always thought that Franco looked exactly like Dean. If they ever did a movie on Dean , Franco should easily get the part.

  21. malka says:

    Yeah, hot…

  22. Ally says:

    o dude the first guy luks like edward

  23. Dawn says:

    I saw him on Jay Leno last night and said the same thing. that he looked so much like James Dean. I didn’t know he actually did play Dean in a movie. I’ll have to check it out.

  24. Polgara says:

    Yummy yummy yummy!!!

  25. hugh says:

    I agree completely. I posted this same comparison before I saw your post

  26. ARTYFISHALL says:

    James Dean = Fruit.

  27. gchip says:

  28. Jessica says:

    you’re all trippin balls.
    james franco is a sexy beast.
    he does a little like james dean.
    wtf! he hella does not look like robert pattinson, psycho!

  29. Cliche Killer says:

    Hey – it’s better than Robert Pattinson totally looks like James Dean. UGH!

  30. tziarras says:

    James dean IS a legend..he lived his life..that’s why he lives today..

  31. missy says:

    i’m gay, but james dean was totally hot! so is james franco. =)

  32. Sarah says:

    Unlike James Franco, James Dean was actually hot.

  33. jill says:

    They are both attractive but James Dean is better looking. Also James Dean has that “sexy doing absolutely nothing” thing that James Franco can’t seem to capture.

  34. llc says:

    james dean was a lot cooler…FAIL

  35. Ashley says:

    James Dean was different things to different people. At his funeral, there was confusion among some of the crowd. Some said he was gay, some said he was completely straight, and others said he was bisexual. It’s hard to say because Jimmy was so dedicated to the art of acting that he wanted to completely immerse himself in other lifestyles to feel as much as he could feel by being another person. I believe James Dean was torn, and in his later years could have had a disassociated sexual personality disorder, but i could be completely wrong. R.I.P. James B. Dean

  36. Marie says:

    actually, they do have similar features when you look at these pictures:

    http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/james-franco/james-franco-20090103-481958.jpg

    http://katnip.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/james-dean.jpg

    but, James Franco’s face is completely unattractive to me and seems to reflect nothing… and James Dean’s face is always in a natural sort of mysterious brooding. James Franco’s features are like a less refined version of James Dean’s, his nose is larger and not as straight, his eyes are less piercing, his mouth isn’t as plump, and he has much more severe creases around his mouth than James Dean who kept the eternal 23 year old look of youth and virility in just the right amounts.

  37. Vixen says:

    thank god!!!! woohooo im not the only one that thought they looked alike!! :D D

  38. me says:

    I kinda think that a young Benico Del Toro looks more like James Dean.

  39. Denny says:

    James Franco is a gorgeous man, and did one of the best impersonations of Dean, compared to a lot of poor attempts from other actors, but I give his acting more credit, than the production in this film. I think Franco was limited by the slow moving film and history jumps. Not his fault by any means. On the appearance, James Franco to me does resemble Dean somewhat, but his teeth and smile are nothing like Dean’s, he’s too thin, because JD was a farmboy, and was fattened up when he went out to New York. Hair & Make-up techs did a fantastic job as a transformation. But moody looks, scowls and eccentric behavior can turn any pouting handsome prettyboy into a pompadour prince. Franco has some similar features, and two of the main features, is the fact that he is good looking and he was around 21 when this film was being produced. Other than that, his acting of Dean is great with the moody improv, and the little prince clown.
    I wasn’t a fan of the camera angles, as they seem to have taken the star quality out of Franco and somehow blended Franco in like he was trying too hard. Not Franco’s fault at all. Franco get’s a B+ for acting, he get’s a B- on looks, and the film get’s a C-. The film was more slow, and didn’t center enough around Jimmy’s world of eccentricity and excitement. James Dean was a real person yes, but he was very borderline with so many different sides to himself, that one group of friends didn’t know the person he portrayed with other group that had no idea about the other group. Jimmy wanted to be everything, and everyone to get the feel of life, and if you can feel what life is through everybody’s eyes, including through the eyes of an animal, than you are ready to experience the stage.

  40. lonepanther says:

    yes Benico Del Toro has the same enerygy signature of Dean and is doing many of the same compex films Dean would have done had he lived

  41. Brianna says:

    I’m totally related to James Dean :D

  42. Martha says:

    i believe that James Franco holds a huge resemblance to James Dean !!! both talented and young actors that always preform to their best :P although James Dean success was short lived,

  43. Constance says:

    James Franco is a totally underrated actor. I saw him in James Dean years ago, and being a Dean fan I was blown away by his portrayal! I have been a Franco fan ever since. What I don’t get is the jealousy and the haters that just have to voice their two cent comments (so unattractive!)
    I really don’t care what his personal life is, that’s why it’s called PERSONAL!
    I don’t watch a certain actor to know what his personal life is, I watch an actor because he or she is a great actor, and James Franco is a great actor!

  44. BLERB says:

    All of your comments are unnecessary. Instead, just sit back and take in the lovely faces of these two studs. (Somewhat hypocritical of me but eh)

  45. kendall says:

    I LOVE both of them.
    James Dean was a totally SEXY bad ass, and James Franco is just sexy.

  46. jessica says:

    I think james dean greatest appeal was the fact that he was hot and didnt even know it. Incredible actor as well. both james are extremely good looking and i love to watch james franco mainly for the resemblence. every time i watch him i look for little things he does and says like james dean and he does some times.
