James Franco praises 'secret weapon' Selena Gomez: 'She's incredibly talented'

Actor James Franco has praised 'Spring Breakers' co-star Selena Gomez and revealed that she is "incredibly talented"

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight about working with her on the new film 'In Dubious Battle', he explained that even on a set for a movie that's somewhat outside of her comfort zone she was a true professional and did the role justice:

"I think Selena is incredibly talented and I don't know what people think, but it seems to me she hasn't done tons of movies like this. She even said that to me when I asked her to do this, she was like, 'Yes, I want to be a part of your world, I want to try it. I'm going to go on this adventure.'"

Franco added: "I felt like I had a secret weapon, that I knew she was a great actress, that people wouldn't be expecting her in this and that I could put her in this and she would nail it. And she did."
