James Franco is hoping to carve out a new career as a rockstar.
The actor - who received a lot of criticism after he presented the Oscars with Ann Hathaway last year - will release his debut album MotorCity under the name 'Daddy' today.
The duo have just unveiled their
romantic new music video for Love in the Old Days which was directed by Franco.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I know I do a lot of things. I'm very aware of that. I'm sure there are a lot of sceptical people, hearing about me doing music. To me, it all comes from a similar place. It's like using different tools to express things in different ways."
James has teamed up with artistic college friend Tim O'Keefe for the album and it also features guest vocals by Motown singer Smokey Robinson who decided to collaborate with the actor after meeting him on a flight.
