Franco's name appeared on a list of men Lohan had scribbled while in rehab last year, which was subsequently published by a US tabloid earlier this year, reported Huffington Post.
The accuracy of the list was called into question when Franco insisted he had never been intimate with the 'Mean Girls' star, but he eventually owned up to his romantic encounter with the actress.
He, however, still maintains there was no sex involved.
"All right, we maybe kissed. It was lame. When we made out it was so long ago. I was, like, a nice guy. The kiss is enough. It was also like, 'What the hell am I doing?' She was young," the 36-year-old actor said.
They had another encounter years later when Franco was staying at the same hotel as the actress while studying at Ucla (University of California, Los Angeles).
"We were at this hotel during a very dark period of her history and... It seemed pretty damn clear that she liked me. She even broke into my room one time. I was on the couch and opened my eyes and there's Lindsay in my room at 3am," Franco said.
