9 Lesser Known Facts About Dave Franco

Dave Franco is a well known American actor best known from Scrubs and 21 Jump Street. If his name sounds familiar it’s probably because you’re also aware of his brother James Franco. From the very beginning, Dave made it a point to not be in the movies with his brother until he made a name for himself separately. He just didn’t want to be known as James Franco’s little brother. You probably haven’t heard that much about Dave outside of his career, cause he tends to keep to himself so we found some interesting facts about him to share with you.

1. He Thinks He’s A Small Shifty Guy

He’s also mentioned that he was very shy growing up and turned out to be quite a serious adult. He doesn’t think he’s particularly funny or a comedian type. Quite harsh, don’t you think?
