Dave Franco Returns

Dave Franco joins Dax to talk about growing up as the youngest of three brothers, being a hopeless romantic from childhood, and becoming Hollywood's sexiest cat dad. They discuss his decade-long pursuit of the film Idiots, the demanding long takes on The Studio, and forging an identity outside his brother's shadow. Dave explains why vulnerability is worth the risk, why he stays off social media, and why the right relationship gets better with time.
