SPIDER-MAN star JAMES FRANCO learned his best acting tricks while working at the drive-through of McDonalds.

Franco dropped out of acting classes at the prestigious UCLA university, but soon found he could practise his craft while handing over hamburgers.
He tells Jane Magazine, "My parents were paying for my expenses while I was going to UCLA, but once I decided to leave, they wouldn't pay for me anymore.

"I couldn't find a restaurant that would hire me as a waiter, (so) I worked (at McDonald's) for a couple of months, and I was kind of bored.

"I worked the drive-through, and I tried out different accents - Italian, Russian, Irish - and just kind of worked on my acting. I guess that was obnoxious."
