James Franco Confesses To Stealing Perfume While In High School

I know this is illegal and I am most certainly NOT condoning his behavior... but James Franco was a hustler! I mean, I would NEVER have thought to steal sample perfume bottles from department stores and then sell them to my classmates for a few bucks. Insane...

While on Jay Leno, the actor admitted to his old ways:

"I don’t know how it happened by somehow I got into stealing cologne. It’s kind of ironic now. We would go into department stores and they had the testers out there, we were looking for a bit of excitement.

"We had our cologne stealing ring. We would chat up the cologne attendant and then the other would swipe the bottle. We accumulated a huge stash, we would keep it in our lockers. We were in either grade so we’d sell it to the seventh graders, we would sell it for 15 dollars - I think it cost about 25 in the shops."

But he was also a little prankster. Right before high school dances, James would urinate in the bottles and then give a spray to boys he wasn't fond of. ILLLLLLLLLLLLL!

"One horrible thing, if I go to hell for anything it will be for this. They have the little tester tubes, if we were going to a dance and there was someone we didn’t like, we would pee in the bottle."

I could have done without that piece of info...
