document: James Franco deletes his Twitter account Oscars host James Franco has disabled his Twitter account today after just a month-and-a-half on the social network site . It coincides with the transmission of an interview he recorded on Monday with David Letterman , in which he admits he had '' `` low energy '' '' during his lamented helmsmanship of the ABC telecast for the awards . Some fans of Renaissance man Franco , 32 , have also noted that he deleted his account on April Fool 's Day and are hoping that the sudden disappearance is a Franconian prank . However seasoned followers say it lacks his trademark surreal humour . The 127 Hours star himself seemed to lay the matter to rest when he predicted the death of social media at a dinner in Washington , just hours before he pulled the account . Speaking at the creative writing non-profit 826DC 's benefit held at the Monaco Hotel , actor , writer , artist and Ph.D student Franco said : '' `` Social media is over . Still up there . Going down . You heard it here first . '' '' Franco , who was speaking to newsite Politico , added : '' `` My thought was '' `` this is my Twitter . I can do whatever I want . But certain companies I work with contacted me about what I was saying . '' '' His tweets throughout that ill-fated hosting gig alongside Anne Hathaway , 28 , created a huge buzz on the social media site . Equally , much hype has surrounded the handsome actor posting pictures of himself sleeping with his pet cats and visceral home-made comics showcasing his acerbic wit . But a feud with seasoned Oscar writer Bruce Villanch after that disastrous night , struck a sour note amongst all the creativity . Villanch told New York magazine that Franco had too many '' `` balls in the air '' '' to focus on the job , adding : '' `` He did n't get there . '' '' '' `` I do n't think he realized how big a deal it is to do it until he was actually confronted with it . '' '' Franco , who will hit cinemas in Your Highness alongside Danny McBride and Natalie Portman next Friday , hit back by posting a picture of himself and Villanch on his Twitter account . Over the picture , which he eventually deleted , he daubed the sarcastic caption : '' `` James f *** ed up the Oscars . Trust me , I know comedy . I mean , come on , I write for Bette Midler ! '' '' But last night a more serious Franco contemplated the danger to creativity that sites like Twitter and Facebook pose . Wearing a sharp grey suit with one hand running through his trademark tousled hair , he addressed the benefit . '' `` If you want to write , make the time , '' '' he encouraged . Before adding : '' `` We all have an hour or two a day that can be used for surfing Facebook or writing . No one is going to beg any new writer to write . '' '' Franco , who is pursuing a doctorate at Yale , concluded : '' `` I feel like I did n't get a ton of support in school in creative subjects and I went to a great public school . As a kid , I would have grown from that . '' ''
