James Franco: Clinton 'most interesting woman in the world'

Hillary Clinton can add James Franco’s endorsement to her list of celebrity backers.

On Wednesday the actor and filmmaker appeared in a $1 million digital ad campaign backing the Democratic nominee. The 30-second ad is a play off the Dos Equis beer “Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign.

The ad features old photos and videos of Clinton — including one of her taking a shot with ease — as Franco narrates.

“The smartest guy in the room is always her. After she opens a can of whoopa--- she always recycles the can. Her secret service code name is Hermoine — because she is a f------ wizard, she’s the most interesting woman in the world,” Franco says. “I don’t always endorse candidates, but when I do they’re extraordinary.”

“Vote wisely my friends,” Franco finishes.

“Hillary Clinton has led an amazing life; it is not a stretch to describe her as ‘the most interesting woman in the world,’” Franco said in a statement. “I got involved in this project because I wanted more people, particularly younger people, to get to know an extraordinary woman who has, through a lifetime a work, earned our trust and support.”

The ad campaign was launched by a partnership from EMILY's List WOMEN VOTE!, Priorities USA, and Schlep Laps.

Clinton has a long list of celebrity backers. This week alone she had Miley Cyrus knocking on doors for her, attended an Adele concert where the singer backed her (although she's English and can't vote), and announced that Jay Z will perform a get-out-the-vote concert for her this weekend.
