A Spider-Man Archenemy with a College Degree

July 11th, 2008

You’re not the only one to go to college, you know. Celebrities have gone too. And the latest to graduate is Peter Parker’s best friend and Spider-Man’s worst enemy: Harry Osborn, the New Goblin – known to those in the real world as James Franco.

According to the Daily News, Franco just graduated from UCLA with a degree in English Lit and plans to attend graduate school in the Fall at NYU. This 30-year-old always aspired to get his education on through all the roles he’s played over the years in popular titles like Freaks and Geeks, Never Been Kissed, and of course the wildly popular Spider-Man series.

Says Franco in the DN article:

“‘I am going back to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I’m interested in,” Franco told us. “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.’”

And there you have it. Franco just proves you can follow your dreams, work hard, and achieve your degree all at the same time. And even if you didn’t go straight from high school to college you can go back because it’s never too late. So follow Franco’s example and get started on your school search.
