I don’t think that James Franco was joking on Saturday Night Live when he claimed to pick his career moves based on randomly selected “idea slips.” As it were, he chose to cover Candy Magazine in drag.

Shot by fashion photographer Terry Richardson, Franco looks virtually unrecognizable in his painted lips and blue eyeshadow.

One has to wonder whether he’s truly that comfortable with his sexuality or if he’s revealing a little something about himself… (for the sake of women everywhere, I’m banking on the former).
