Since Oz the Great and Powerful recently hit the home video market (and I just saw it) I thought this week would be a good time to take a look at the alleged dating history of James Franco. Obviously a man his age with his acting career has surely been able to hook up with some quality actresses and models, right? The answer to that would be: yes, yes he has. But how many models and actresses? Read on to find out.

Sienna Miller (2006)
Miller and Franco were spotted spending a lot of time together as they shot the film Camille. They both vehemently denied anything was going on.

Miller and Jude Law broke up so many times who’s to say this didn’t really happen? Oh, right, them.

Amanda Seyfried (2012)
A tabloid reported that Franco and Seyfried took their on-screen romance off-screen as they shot the film Lovelace.

Ashley Benson (2012-2013)
And yet another lady Franco met while filming a movie, this time Spring Breakers, has fallen victim to his charms.
