james francoSpider-Man star James Franco has reportedly decided to leave Los Angeles to attend graduate school in New York this autumn.

The actor graduated from UCLA last month after taking English literature courses between film roles for the last few years and is determined to focus on attaining a higher degree over the next year or so.

James is quoted telling the New York Daily News: “I am going back to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I’m interested in. That is the best way to learn.

“For me, being able to act in movies is not having it all. I am interested in other things, and I take my interests seriously. Thus, I’m back in school.”
