LIFE just got a little bit sweeter.

James Franco fans fondly remember when younger brother Dave Franco popped onto the scene a few years back. He wooed us all with his devilish good looks and all-American charm in hit comedies Superbad, 21 Jump Street and most recently Bad Neighbours alongside fellow hottie Zac Efron.

It all seemed too good to be true. A second brother? Another actor? An absolute hunk? Well played, Mr and Mrs Franco.

And then there were three. Meet Tom Franco, James and Dave’s lesser known brother.

Tom is the middle child and is an artist and founder of the Firehouse Art Collective in Berkeley, CA.

The 34-year-old has dabbled in acting as well, appearing in Basket Case 2 back in 1990 as well as a couple of other films.

“In my family, you were never cool, you never had anything good to say, unless you were talking about art,” he told Diablo magazine of his close-knit clan.

“Growing up, James was completely driven in the way he is now, a total overachiever, overworker … I learned a lot from him: just never saying no, always doing it, and the success that comes from that,” the curly-haired sibling said of his famous brother.

The boys’ mother, Betsy Lou Franco, who is an author, said: “My husband and I definitely encouraged creativity.

“We didn’t force it down their throats, but we would always encourage imaginative play just by having stuff around and being very open-minded and receptive to anything creative that they did.

“I have a belief that everyone has creativity: My kids maybe just have quite a bit of it.”

Youngest brother Dave, 29, said of growing up in the Franco fam: “We have a weird, artsy family. We have another brother, Tom, who’s five years older than me, and two years younger than James. Tom is a crazy artist, as well. He does a little bit of everything, but his main thing is sculpture.”

Dave Franco is set to walk the red carpet at the GQ Australia’s Man Of The Year Awards at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney later this month.
