Franco's acting surprised Freida Pinto

Actress Freida Pinto was surprised by James Franco's unique acting style but learnt a lot from him when they worked together on Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

"He's got his own unique and distinctive style of acting. It's not conventional at all. It does take you by surprise initially, but it's all about being flexible and trying to understand how another actor works," reports quoted Freida as saying.

"I found a lot of things in his acting style that I could pick up and learn from," she added.
