James Franco visits Hong Kong, does karaoke, checks out Occupy Central

Gucci, not to be outdone by Lorde’s performance at a Prada party in Hong Kong a couple weeks ago, invited James Franco to attend their party last Thursday to celebrate their Flora Knight collection.

Following in the footsteps of Kenny G, the 36-year-old American actor also took the opportunity to check out the Admiralty Occupy Central site, prompting Foreign Policy to start using the hashtag #OccupineappleExpress.

Franco seemed to have a good time in Hong Kong, posting several photos to his Instagram account.

And of course, Franco didn’t leave the city without experiencing the quintessential Hong Kong pastime: pretending to know the words to a Canto-pop song during a drunken karaoke session.

We excitedly await Beijing’s tut-tutting of Franco’s visit to Occupy Central.
