James Franco gets a tad too relaxed at budget massage parlour in NYC as he's spotted taking a nap

He's set to return to the spotlight soon with the release of his new film. 

Yet James Franco appeared to be taking things easy on Wednesday as he was spotted fast asleep inside a budget massage parlour in New York. 

Resting on one of the sofas, the 41-year-old actor appeared to have been too relaxed on his visit as he drifted off in public.

James was probably feeling tired waiting for his massage just before midnight, with an eyewitness revealing: 'He was out cold. He was passed out in the seat right by the front window'.

Despite being worth $30 million, the Golden Globe winner proved he has an eye for a bargain, with hour-long, full body massages costing just $35 at ShunFa Relaxing Center, while an hour-long foot rub costs $24.99.

James was not joined by girlfriend Isabel Pakzad on the outing, who he reportedly started dating in November 2017, but has kept their romance predominantly out of the spotlight.

It's believed that James chose not to go public with the news he was dating Isabel given that he had found himself making headlines for alleged sexual misconduct just weeks later.

In January last year, it was claimed that the Hollywood star had previously been 'abusing his power as an acting teacher in a sexually exploitative manner,' PEOPLE reported.

It was then claimed that Franco was irked when female students wouldn't participate in topless scenes during a proposed film shoot, while another claimed the actor forced her to partake in oral sex, saying 'that time wasn't consensual.'

The Oscar-nominee is preparing to return to the spotlight with the release of his film, Zeroville, which follows the tale of a young actor who arrives in Hollywood in 1969 during a transitional time in the Industry.

The film, which also stars Will Ferrell, Dave Franco and Megan Fox, was shot in 2014, but because it was acquired by Alchemy — a distributor that went out of business mere months after picking up the film — production was delayed. 

Five years on, the film is slated for release in September.
