James Franco claims he cheated on all his partners before current girlfriend

James Franco opened up about his satyromania, aka sex addiction, in a recent interview, claiming that he’d never been faithful to his partners until he met his current girlfriend.

Franco made the startling revelation during an interview on The Jess Cagle Podcast, where he also admitted to having sexual relations with his students.

“I had girlfriends. I could never be faithful to anybody. I cheated on everyone before Isabel," said the 127 Hours actor.

Franco has been dating Isabel Pakzad since early November 2017.

He went on to equate his strange addiction to being hungry for validation and success; in his career and with women.

"When I was a teenager, I was addicted to alcohol... I got sober when I was 17. Once I couldn't use alcohol to fill that hole… I got addicted to validation or success or whatever that is,” said Franco.

He added, “Along the road of trying to get success, attention from women, success with women also became a huge source of validation… The problem with that is that there's never enough. I'm just trying to fill that hole and it never gets filled."
