Today, in breaking hair news: James Franco has no hair. None. Not even a tuft.
The 36-year-old actor and director appeared at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend with a clean-shaven head, bearing a rather large/terrifying tattoo of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.
Before you get too excited, the bold (well... bald) new look is for James' role in the upcoming film Zeroville, so no, the ink probably isn't permanent. Because come on, if James Franco was going to get a tattoo on the back of his head, we all know it would be of his own face.
The Spring Breakers star documented his hair transformation on Instagram, and like us, he seems quite amused by the end result - especially its similarity to the scrunchy-face laughing emoji.
