James Franco Fully Embraces the Mermaid Trend With an Unexpected New Look

James Franco has fully embraced the rainbow hair movement. The actor confidently posed in a mirror selfie to show off his new neon ombré hairstyle. The color starts blond, then cascades into a pink midsection with ocean-blue tips. James hinted in his caption that the vibrant look was for an upcoming music video titled "Only in America" with musician Riff Raff, his former rival.

In case you weren't aware, the two were involved in a feud back in 2012 because of James's resemblance to the performer in the comedy flick Spring Breakers. While we're almost sure that Franco's new hair is the work of a multicolored wig, we think it's pretty hilarious to see his full transformation into a merman . . . even if it is just temporary. Check out a shot of him on set with his new hair below.
