James Franco's Greatest and Most Powerful Shirtless Photos

There's no place like James Franco's body, there's no place like James Franco's body...

While Franco stars as the titular wizard-to-be in Disney's new Oz the Great and Powerful, we're following the yellow brick road back to the friend of Dorothy's most magical shirtless highlights, including sexy movie scenes, photo shoots, and self-portraits.

If you only had a brain, you'd check them out now.

Freelance photographer Mark Studner got an unknown, 18-year-old Franco to go shirtless for a photo shoot in 1996.

FYI: That sheet doesn't stay around Franco's waist for long in the 2001 TNT biopic James Dean.

Many a gay geek has paused and pondered Franco's steamy underwear entrance as the vengeful Harry Osborn in 2007's Spider-Man 3.

If you looked like Franco, wouldn't you share flexing and nipple shots on your WhoSay?

Franco starred as a gigolo in the 2002 drama Sonny, which, of course, meant lots of skin.

Franco starred as Harvey Milk's younger lover Scott Smith in the acclaimed 2008 biopic Milk. How could you forget that underwater swimming pool scene?

Franco famously posed in drag for photog Terry Richardson to cover Candy magazine, and some fabulous shirtless outtakes from the shoot resurfaced in Rebel, a 2012 photography exhibit.

The 2000 teen flick Whatever It Takes is worth watching for a long scene in which Franco's character is tied to a bed wearing only a thong.

Veronique Vial's photo book Men Before 10 a.m. Too!!! captures just that — including images of Franco on the toilet and shaving his armpits.

Photographed by Mariano Vivanco for a 2012 issue of GQ Style Germany, Franco works a dark and mysterious look — with just a hint of chest hair.

Franco starred as the handsome Tristan in the 2006 romantic drama Tristan & Isolde, and Tristan's pain is our gain.

Franco is a real knockout as a U.S. Naval Academy student boxer in 2006's Annapolis.

Pink body paint and green hands was the look, naturally, for Franco's 2011 Wooooo cover shoot.

Franco's next film, Spring Breakers, isn't in theaters until Mar. 22, but we've been already been treated to paparazzi shots of him on set as a cornrowed gangster named Alien.
