James Franco has returned to social media, this time opening a new account on TikTok to share what he claims is "a serious matter." After stepping away from social media following sexual harassment allegations in 2018, the Oscar-nominated actor emphasized in his first video posted on June 3 that this is really him and not artificial intelligence. In the video description, he stated, "I can’t say much right now. But stay tuned, everything will make sense."

For TikTok users, Franco's behavior may seem strange at first. However, in the video, he defended himself by saying, "Maybe I look crazy, but no. This is real." Still, many of the odd and cryptic videos he shared indicate that the situation is more complex. Franco often appeared panicked, expressing that he feels watched or followed and has a fear of disappearing.

This situation has led fans to speculate about what Franco is trying to accomplish. Many suggested that this behavior is linked to the promotion of an upcoming film project. However, on June 15, Franco revealed in another video that all this secrecy is related to an alien he claims to have seen on his property.

Franco indicated that he will disclose footage of the alien, marking July 13 as the date. "Okay, they hacked my account. I got it back. They want to stop me. People think I’m acting crazy. No matter what, I’m not acting crazy. I saw something. They tried to hack my account, and I got it back," he shared in a panicked video. This has become a major topic of curiosity for both fans and the media.
