Must-See Late Night Clip: James Franco Teaches Fallon How to Take Creepy Fan Selfies

Jimmy Fallon noticed something about the selfies James Franco takes with fans outside the stage door of his Broadway play Of Mice and Men: In every single one, he’s wearing the same hat and dark glasses, making the same expressionless face.

On the Tonight Show last night, Franco laid out the convoluted reasons why he approaches the selfies that way to Fallon and pulled out his phone to give the host a proper tutorial.

Fallon posted the failures on the show’s Twitter feed before finally showing the world how it’s done:
