Last night America’s greatest director, actor, writer and perma-stoned heartthrob James Franco uploaded a groundbreaking video of himself and girlfriend Ashley Benson covering Justin Bieber’s 2012 single “Boyfriend.”

Franco has adorned himself with a straight-haired wig, baseball cap and hoodie to look like early-2012 Bieber, in his halcyon days before the haircut that signalled his entrance into adulthood. It’s a fitting paean to a hero we know no more, coming as it does mere days after Bieber’s tragic marijuana addiction was revealed.
