James Franco appeared on David Letterman Friday night to talk about his new film Milk. In the film, Franco’s character kisses Harvey Milk, played by Sean Penn.
Letterman was very interested in the liplock scene and questioned Franco at length about the encounter. Franco admitted to being very nervous about getting it right. Letterman was incredulous and said, “Do you really want to be good at kissing a guy?”
Franco smiled and said, “If you want it, I’d be willing to kiss you right now.” He moves in close and gives Dave a sample.
The film, which opens November 26, tells the true story of California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, a San Francisco Supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White.
