James Franco turned down sex with LiLo, she had ‘issues’

James Franco claims he was approached by Lindsay Lohan and turned down the chance to sleep with her because she had “issues.”

During a chat on Howard Stern’s radio show, the “Spring Breakers” actor was asked about his history with Lohan.

“You turned down sex with Lindsay Lohan, didn’t you?” Stern questioned. “Back then when she was a lot hotter?”

“Oh, gosh. Poor Lindsay,” Franco replied. “I haven’t talked to her in a while…We were friends.”

Franco continued about how he met the troubled “Mean Girls” star “through friends” while he was staying at the Chateau Marmont Hotel.

“My house in LA was being redone, so I did this thing where I just stayed at the hotel, and she had been living there for a couple years,” Franco recalled.

The shock jock continued, “And you turned her down sexually?”

“I mean, I don’t want to brag about it,” Franco said. “I don’t know how that got out.”

“She was having issues even then, so you feel weird,” he continued. “Honestly, she was a friend. I’ve met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don’t want to do that.”

The pair shared a cameo in the romantic comedy, “The Holiday” where they appeared in a trailer for an action movie edited by Cameron Diaz’s character.

When Stern asked Franco who he’s dating now, Franco (who’s loved-up with his “Spring Breakers” costar Ashley Benson) played coy. “Let’s say I’m dating. I’m getting older. I would like a long-term relationship.”
