James Franco is enjoying date night in France.
The Interview actor stepped out during Cannes Film Festival alongside his longtime girlfriend Izabel Pakzad to attend the May 12 screening of The Electric Kiss.
For the occasion, James, 48, wore a classic black tuxedo and bow tie, opting to wear black sunglasses against the sun for much of the carpet. At his side, Izabel, 30, donned a sleek black dress which she styled with a thick silver necklace and open-toed heels, her long hair loose.
While James and Izabel—an actress and filmmaker—have been dating since 2017, they’ve brought their romance to public events with more frequency in recent years.
Previously, James had largely strayed from the spotlight after being accused of sexual misconduct in 2018 by five women, four of whom has been his acting students.
Two of the students filed a lawsuit against the 127 Hours actor and his associates Vince Jolivette and Jay Davis in 2019, which he settled two years later. The settlement, obtained by E! News at the time, promised the three men would pay more than $2 million.
