Actress Busy Philipps says she's
frequently asked about the inside of James Franco's mouth.
Franco played Philipps' love interest
on Freaks and Geeks.
Philipps told gay glossy The
Advocate that the questions about the inside of Franco's
mouth are “universal.”
“Everybody asks me questions about
the inside of James Franco's mouth,” said Philipps, who currently
co-stars on the ABC comedy Cougar Town. “What's unfortunate
is that I've never been one of those girls had sexy affairs with my
costars. It usually just starts and ends with the on-set make-out
sesh. I was only 19, but I remember that Franco and I had a really
good time making out. I loved that relationship because Kim and
Daniel were so passionate that they just had to stick their tongues
down each others' throats.”
The 33-year-old Philipps also said she
hopes for a gay character on Cougar Town.
“[A]nd I want them to be my
character's best friend,” she said of the possibility. “I will
want every scene with them.”
“I'm so happy that network television
on the whole is embracing more gay characters now than it did when we
had Jack on Dawson's Creek, which was a huge deal at the time.
I love that we've chipped away at the celluloid closet and have
wonderful programs that feature gay and lesbian characters in really
rich, fully developed ways,” she added.
