Actor Dave Franco is closer than ever to mogul in the making Seth Rogen — who publicly cut ties with his older brother James Franco after the Pineapple Express star was accused of sexual misconduct in 2018, insiders say.
James has denied any inappropriate behavior — but has since lain low in Hollywood.

“Rather than distancing himself from his brother’s former best friend, Dave leaned in, collaborating with Rogen and landing a role in his projects, including The Studio,” a source shares. “To many in Hollywood, the message was clear: Dave picked the winning side.”
Another insider says, “Family loyalty gave way to career survival.”

Dave’s camp insists he never betrayed his brother, but an insider notes, “In Tinseltown, blood may be thicker than water — but opportunity is thicker than both.”
