For weeks now, actor James Franco has been flooding TikTok with jittery, late-night videos from what he says is his garage in the US, telling followers that a glowing‑eyed creature is stalking him there and even insisting in one caption, 'It's an ALIEN!!!.'
The string of clips, posted in May and June on his account @jamesfranco2319, has turned into a full‑blown social media guessing game, with fans trying to work out whether Franco is scared, trolling, or quietly launching something.
