James Franco deserves slap on wrist for flirting with teen girl, says latter's gran

James Franco should get a slap on the wrist for flirting with underage girls, believes the grandmother of the teenage Scottish girl, who was chatted up by the star on Instagram.
84-year-old Beryl Sussex told a UK publication that her son, Lucy Clode's dad, wouldn't be afraid to teach a lesson to the 35-year-old Hollywood hunk, Daily Star reported.
Sussex asserted that her granddaughter isn't even 18, and its bad enough a man of his age is approaching her like this, never mind a movie star.
Franco had recently apologised for his actions, saying he was embarrassed and that he used bad judgment and learned his lesson.
He had struck up a conversation with Clode and enquired about her whereabouts and relationship status after she saw him appearing on Broadway in Of Mice and Men.
