Actor Seth Rogan has announced that he is to arrange a barmitzvah ceremony for fellow film star James Franco to raise money for charity.
"Ever since I’ve known James, he’s been talking about wanting a barmitzvah,” Rogen said.
Franco – whose mother is Jewish – has said in the past: "I do feel like I missed out on the Jewish experience. My Jewish friends tell me not to worry… but I like the idea of religion as a source of community."
He also told the JC in an interview in 2011 : “I do plan to have a barmitzvah."
