James Franco: Gucci Commercial Outtakes
James Franco seems to be a trending topic on this blog. And in this recent video, he has combined two things that we happened to cover: his rejected speech for UCLA and his ad for Gucci. The product was this video. I wonder if he’ll start making videos for all of his rejected content.

Gucci Fall 2008 Ad Campaign
