Don't get your hopes up, sexy James Franco is not "pulling a Clay Aiken" on the cover of Out this month. Instead, James is just pushing his new movie Gus Van Sant's "Milk."

Inside the magazine, Franco talks about how he and Sean Penn planned to get into their gay roles:

"At one point during rehearsals, the idea was thrown out that Sean and I would go to the apartment that we eventually shot in and spend a night or two there just to, like — I don’t know what — feel comfortable with each other? That idea was kind of thrown out but ended up not happening because of scheduling. I approached the relationship part as I would approach any relationship. When I’m working with another actor or actress that I’m supposed to have a relationship with, I’ll look for things in the person I like. My other hero on the film was Sean, so it wasn’t too hard to look up to him — or whatever that is....Basically, I’ve been in love with him since even before Fast Times."

Wow! That could have been a movie in itself!

The best quote from Franco, however, is actually printed on the Out cover:

"After our kiss, Sean texted Madonna and said, 'I just broke my cherry kissing a guy."

It seems like James enjoyed it a lot more than Sean!
