James Franco declares his love for Hermione Granger by ‘getting a tattoo’ of Emma Watson

But is it real?

James Franco loves Emma Watson so much he got a tattoo of her Harry Potter character, Hermoine Granger, on his NECK.

As a tribute to the Hollywood actress he revealed his bizarre ‘ink’ on his Instagram account.

Posing topless, James revealed an extremely convincing portrait of Emma on the right side of his neck, with her name inscribed underneath her face.

    Alongside a heart emoji, James told his four million Insta-followers: "I love Hermione. Ink by @idiangiver."

    And thanks to the major debate over Ed Sheeran’s tattoo we have kept VERY sceptical as to what is real or fake – with everything in life, but mainly when it comes to recognising tattoos.

    Because of this we know that James’ tattoo is not real. It is in fact the clever work of artist Cheyenne Randall, who uses his Photoshop skills to add ink to pictures of celebrities.

    He tagged the actor in his original post, writing: "@jamesfrancotv #shoppedtattoos (sic)"

    You almost fooled us James, well done.
