Who knew that Spider-Man 3 villain, James Franco was a smarty-pants? The hottie is currently studying creative writing at UCLA, and he's working on a novel, IMDB reports. "I'm working on my honors thesis, which is a creative thesis where I'll be writing a novel. I actually have the first draft," James says. "Part of [the novel] is based on a person I knew when I was younger who got in a lot of trouble and a lot of fights and was arrested a lot and was considered a troubled kid and kicked out of high school. Then, later, when I graduated high school, he was diagnosed as a schizophrenic, so I see his behavior as pre-symptoms to getting the help that he needed." Pretty heavy stuff.

Can't wait to read it!
