Actor James Franco has revealed that his biggest interest in high school was art.
The "Spring Breakers" star was so passionate about painting that he would spend countless hours creating artwork and credits his hobby with giving him the drive to pursue an acting career, reported Contactmusic.
"I'd just do it as much as I could. I'd do it from three to 10 pm every day. It really showed me, if you want to do something, you can just throw yourself into it," he said.
In addition to his busy acting career, the 35-year-old hunk has a slew of other interests - from directing, to teaching university classes in film - and he believes one can never have too many hobbies.
"In some ways, you can't do enough and so as far as doing many things at once, it just continued," he added.
