14) James Franco

James Franco has done some martial arts training for roles where physical action was involved. For his portrayal of a fighter in Pineapple Express, he trained in basic boxing and kickboxing to handle the fight scenes. He worked with a few trainers to improve his coordination and stamina for the film’s action sequences. Franco also trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for other roles requiring more grappling skills. Surely the real-life Harry Osborn could've taken down the real-life Spider-Man.
