James Franco finally shaved his beard. DId his girlfriend Lana Del Rey pressure ‘The Interview’ actor to do so? Either way, he will be glad to have his face clean for the summer.

Meanwhile, James Franco and ‘Ultraviolence’ singer are still hiding their relationship on Instagram.

According to Bustle, “James Franco shaved his beard, in apparent preparation for a long summer ahead of us. After all, it was getting a little long. The actor turned to, where else, but Instagram to share a snap of his newly shorn face.”

RIP James Franco’s beard.

But James Franco may be making his girlfriend Lana Del Rey laugh via Instagram. Seeing how ‘The Interview’ actor and ‘Ultraviolence’ singer have to do a long-distance relationship because of their careers, they may depend on Instagram for their relationship.

New York Post recently published an article about how ‘I am Michael’ actor should take a break from his Instagram account, even if it is just for his sanity.

“How does one of the world’s coolest dudes all of a sudden start trying to sell dodgy merch of bad internet memes of himself online? His Instagram is like watching a car crash … You want to look away but just can’t”

James Franco and Zachary Quinto are the new lovers in the upcoming movie ‘I Am Michael’. Judging from the picture that the actor posted on his Instagram page, it looks like they have great chemistry! Let’s hope that Lana Del Rey doesn’t get too jealous.

‘I am Michael’ star may be dating Lana Del Rey, but he recently was noted for having a “great chemistry” with ‘The Adderall Diaries’ co-star Amber Heard. Now the Hollywood critics can add Zachary Quinto to the list.

Being girlfriend to James Franco means that one has to have a good sense of humor. Lana Del Rey probably just laughed over the Selena Gomez baby joke that “In Dubious Battle” actor posted on Instagram.

‘The Interview’ actor posted a sweet picture with Lana Del Rey on his Instagram two weeks ago. The fact that he peppers his feed with his girlfriend shows that he is fully invested in the relationship.

There may be another layer to James Franco and Lana Del Rey romance that we don’t know about. The fact that she was around him a lot during Sony email hack when ‘‘The Interview’ actor fell ill may be the reason that James Franco may be so fond of ‘Ultraviolence’ singer.
