James Franco, 48, opened a TikTok account in June 2026 and started uploading videos in which he swore that something was watching him. “People think I’m going crazy. I’m not crazy. I saw something”, he repeated to the camera, without giving further details.
On July 13, he kept his promise: he showed a black-and-white recording featuring a thin figure with an elongated head lurking around his house. Social media exploded. Snooki Polizzi asked him to stop, and thousands debated whether it was a real crisis or a prank.
The answer came quickly. Users noticed that his account only follows people connected to a movie called Love Meets in the Sunshine, and that his T-shirt bore the name of a fictional character. Franco eventually admitted, laughing, that he “was expecting a different reaction” while the alien peeked through his window. 👽🎬
