The rumour mill has been in overdrive about a possible relationship between Lana Del Rey and James Franco for several months now and the actor has finally opened up in a new interview.
The gossip started after the pair began posting images of each other on their Instagram pages, with the
Palo Alto star encouraging his fans to buy Lana's recent album.
The two have since been pictured spending time together but according to the 36-year-old, their relationship is strictly platonic.
"No, she's a friend of mine...We're friends. No. On my life," he told
The Howard Stern Show.
"I'll tell you why, maybe it's a boring answer. There's a weird thing with creative types. Sometimes I love a person's work and, like, I'm just so enamored with that and their persona in their work. But outside of that, it's like, our dynamic is we're just kind of friends, we get along so well. But all this sexual attraction is for the person and the work. We go to Coney Island and hang out. I would have sex with her music."
