Spring Breakers actor James Franco said in an interview with Howard Stern on March 25 that he had turned down sex with actress Lindsay Lohan.

Franco, 34, said he first met the Liz & Dick star Lohan through friends in West Hollywood, according to Us Weekly. "My house in L.A. was being redone, so I did this thing where I just stayed at the hotel, and she had been living there for a couple years," he said.

Franco was staying at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood.

When asked again about turning her down, Franco said. "I mean, I don't want to brag about it" and "I don't know how that got out."

He added that Lohan, "was having issues even then, so you feel weird."

He continued with, "Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do that."

Franco said he is dating someone, though he didn't say who he is dating. He has recently been connected with fellow Spring Breakers star Ashley Benson. Hollywood Life posted a video of the two lip syncing the Selena Gomez song Love You Like a Love Song. "I'm getting older. I would like a long-term relationship."

He told Stern, 59, that he hasn't spoke with her in a while. Lohan, 26, has been arrested six time in less than 10 years, Us Weekly reports.
