James Franco has written a lengthy poetic essay about his infatuation with Lana Del Rey, prompting speculation the pair may collaborate.
Printed in the latest edition of V Magazine, it sees the actor expressing his love for the West Coast singer, writing: "[She] isn't made for this Earth". Talking of the pair working together he added: "I wanted to interview Lana for a book and she said, 'Just write around me, it’s better if it’s not my own words. It’s almost better if you don’t get me exactly, but try.'"

"She has this idea for a film. I want to do it because it’s a little like Sunset Boulevard. A woman is alone in a big house in L.A. She doesn’t want to go out. She starts to go crazy, and becomes paranoid because she feels like people are watching her. Even in her own house. It’s like an awesome B-movie that lives in Lana’s head. It’s about her, and it’s not about her. Just like her music."
In December Franco told Howard Stern that he wanted to "make love to her music", in another eye-rolling tirade. "There's a weird thing with creative types," he said. "Sometimes I love a person's work and, like, I'm just so enamored with that and their persona in their work. But outside of that, it's like, our dynamic is we're just kind of friends, we get along so well. But all this sexual attraction is for the person and the work."
Got to love those creative types and their sexy work.
