James Franco insists living on the streets isn’t as bad as it sounds – he made $20 begging for money in just 30 minutes while researching a film role.

The actor played a homeless drug addict in Robert De Niro movie City By The Sea and decided to live rough to prepare for the vagrant role.

And Franco admits it wasn’t that tough: “I stayed a whole weekend on the street, we panhandled, we made a sign. We made at least $20 in half an hour, so, if you’re ever out of work… make a sign – `Homeless, Please Help’.”
