Actor James Franco attends the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 21, 2018 in Los Angeles.

James Franco was removed last-minute from the prestigious cover of Vanity Fair's 2018 Hollywood Portfolio issue in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations, according to industry trade publication The Hollywood Reporter.

Franco sat for an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot and interview and was to be featured in the magazine, according to THR.

But the actor was removed from the cover digitally at the last minute due to the allegations of sexual misconduct that surfaced in the wake of his Golden Globe best actor win for The Disaster Artist.

A Vanity Fair spokesperson confirmed Franco's absence from the issue with a statement: "We made a decision not to include James Franco on the Hollywood cover once we learned of the misconduct allegations against him."

Following Franco's appearance at the Golden Globes, the Los Angeles Times featured a report leveling multiple accusations of misconduct by the actor.
