Fallon and Franco
On Monday night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy’s lead guest was handsome, smart-aleck polymath James Franco.

James just this week concluded a successful Broadway engagement in a critically acclaimed production of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. During the show’s run, Instagram and Twitter found themselves on a daily basis graced with images featuring Franco and his fans out by the theater’s stage door.

As was pointed out by Fallon, these photos stand out from your average fan-selfie for the haunting, Unabomberish appearance — with hat, shades, and stoic, almost emotionless expression — Franco nearly unfailingly adopted for each one.

In the clip below, Franco walks Jimmy through the tricks of the fan-selfie trade, illustrating some of the potential pitfalls and failures one might encounter in their quest for the perfect digitally preserved brush with celebrity.
