31. annoying, and not because he is a celeb, either. I hate losers who can't cut it in school, while that chick next to him probably
waits tables to pay for her education.

32. He looks stupid.

Sure, everyone has fallen asleep in class, but maybe when you're an immature teenager, not a 30 year old man.

Plus, it again make actors look like the buffoons they are. They all act like they're smarter (see Alba) than everyone else, but they usually reveal themselves to be devoid of brains and why they can only act like they're doing something, instead of actually doing it.

34. Funny pic but the person who took the picture is obviously some sort of stalker/weirdo. I'm sure he won't be sitting next to them ever again. Creepy.

36. I am a Columbia student and I have another class with him (not this one, from the looks of the room). It only meets once a week. He doesn't fall asleep in that one--because he barely attends.

37. Whoa! Get the he11 off our campus! On the street is one thing, but photographing someone inside their school is another. Shame on you.

39. HA! If I was that girl sitting next to him I think I'd quietly whisper in his ear to WAKE UP, JAMES!

40. gosh...give him a break people! at least he's one of those decent actors who still tries to get a degree amidst all that hollywood drama (and money!)! and yeah, he's still hot! =)

42. Is that a voice recorder on his desk? I would sleep too if I had that, lol Shame on whoever took the pic. That would never happen at UCLA.

43. Funny simply because of who it is, but honestly...I fell asleep in my college classes too. Some professors could sell tapes of their lectures as alternatives to sleep meds. Shame on whoever took the picture. Let the sleepers remain anon, ass.

44. I like Franco as an actor, and he seems like a decent human being. I can't blame the guy for a classroom snooze-- I fell prey to many myself! At least he's trying to better himself with an education.

45. 44, shut up! You sound spiteful and jealous. A grown up is more likely to have a lot to do, and be more tired.
