Actor James Franco shared a saucy picture of himself on Instagram.com on Thursday (01May14) - but deleted it just hours later after he was mocked by critics.
The 127 Hours star is a prolific user of the photosharing website and regularly posts self-taken images of himself in which he is shown topless or in bed.
On Thursday, he shared an image of himself sweating and nude apart
from a pair of underpants, which he was shown suggestively pulling
down on the verge of completely exposing himself.
However, the photo, which was accompanied with the caption "JUMP
ROPE", was removed from the star's Instagram.com account just hours
later after online critics branded it "disturbing" and
"attention-grabbing".
