James Franco was rather unpleasantly surprised to find out a simple kiss in the movie Milk became a straight up sausagefest due to Sean Penn. Page Six:
JAMES Franco says Sean Penn pushed the gay sex scenes in "Milk" further than he expected. "In the original script I read, there was only one real kissing scene," Franco tells next month's Elle. "A month after [director] Gus [Van Sant] asked me to do it, they sent me another script, and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene. And I was like, 'Gus, what the heck?' He says, 'Well, it was Sean's idea.' "
In case you don't know, Milk is the story about the first-ever openly gay man to be elected to office. I really don't care to see it because gay rights don't interest me all that much, just like my right to sit around all day and collect welfare checks probably doesn't interest you. But now that I know James Franco and Sean Penn get it on, I might go to the theater and, during that scene, stand up and yell "HA HA GAY!" then run out.
