NEW YORK, May 7 (UPI) — James Franco doesn’t want people to abandon McDonald’s since the fast food chain never abandoned him in his hour of need.
The actor detailed his love for restaurant in a Washington Post op-ed about how one Los Angeles restaurant gave him a job before he became a star.
He is hoping his story will encourage McDonald’s to turn around its slumping business.
After dropping out of UCLA to pursue an acting career, Franco’s parents told him he needed to support himself. He was fired from a coffee shop, and a job at a driving range, for reading while working while he was in high school, leaving him with little work experience.
“Someone asked me if I was too good to work at McDonald’s. Because I was following my acting dream despite all the pressure not to, I was definitely not too good to work at McDonald’s. I went to the nearest Mickey D’s and was hired the same day,” he wrote.
Franco worked there for three months, which where he had life-changing experiences like stealing fries and getting hit on by the hamburger cook.
He hopes the new business strategy for the chain will turn things around.
“All I know is that when I needed McDonald’s, McDonald’s was there for me. When no one else was.”
