James Franco made a rare appearance at the Rome Film Festival in support of his new film 'Hey Joe.'
The Italian film sees Franco play a World War II vet who returns to Naples 25 years after finding out he has a son there.
While discussing the film with the press, the actor drew parallels to his own life.

He catches the occasion to do something positive.
That was the same for me as a person.
I changed my way of seeing things."
