Is That Emma Watson on James Franco’s Neck? 'The Interview' Actor Shows off New Tattoo Bearing the 'Harry Potter' Star's Face

James Franco is known for posting controversial images on his social media accounts. Recently, the "The Interview" actor has managed to shock a lot of his followers on Instagram again after posting a black and white photo of his tattoo bearing the face of no less than "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson.

The 37-year-old Oscar nominee snapped a black and white Instagram photo of himself, posing shirtless and showing off the new tattoo on his neck. He captioned it with "I <3 Hermoine. Ink by @indiangiver." Every Potterhead who saw his post probably rolled their eyes after seeing it was spelled wrong.

It can be recalled that Franco and Watson co-starred in "This Is The End," a comedy fantasy film in 2013. The movie also starred Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, who are known for their comedic acting skills, and featured the special participation of Rihanna.

Apparently, neither Franco's nor Watson's fans have to make wild speculations about the actor's feelings for the British actress, as the tattoo is only temporary. The actor credited the artist, Cheyenne Randall who also reposted the photo on her page with the hashtag "#shoppedtattoos."

E Online noted that Randall's Instagram page was filled with iconic stars like the "King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Presley, Princess Diana and the blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe covered with body art thanks to a skillful photo edit.

While Franco placed Watson's face together with her name written in cursive, no public statements were released from the actress' side. However, if Franco ever pursues his alleged affection towards the "Harry Potter" superstar, he might be in for some tough competition, the magazine site noted.

The "Regression" actress was recently spotted having lunch in Los Feliz, California together with "Harry Potter" co-star Robert Aguire, whom she met on the fourth installment of the "Harry Potter" film series: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." The two have been rumored to be in a relationship, but both sides have remained silent on the issue.
