In his latest attempt to make the news, James Franco has posted several Instagram photos of himself with expertly flat-ironed locks that appear to have been bleached blonde. Trying to do our best Alexander Skarsgard impression, are we?

Actually, it seems like the 36-year-old star had another fair-haired celeb in mind. "I wish I was Ryan Gosling, but I'm just me, oh well," he wrote alongside the pic on the right. Franco also re-posted a photo from a fan Instagram with his face PhotoShopped in with '90s bands 'NSync, 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys and O-Town and wrote, "I'm in ALL the BOYBANDS! Meeeeeyooowwwwww!"

Don't get us wrong, we think James is incredibly talented and we still drool over his dreamy Gucci ads from a few years back, but his latest ploy to get our attention is just leaving a gross taste in our mouths. Kinda like when he tried to seduce that underage girl on Instagram earlier this year...
