Dave Franco has spoken about growing up with Seth Rogen, as well as the controversy surrounding brother James Franco's movie The Interview.

The 29-year-old modelled for MRPORTER.com and told the menswear editorial that he is still taken aback by his rising fame.

"I honestly have no idea how I've ended up in this position," he quipped. "What can I say? I've been surrounded by a lot of people that are way, way more talented than me.

"I'm just fortunate to have somehow infiltrated their world. They make me look a lot better than I actually am."

On his friendship with Rogen, he enthused: "[Seth] has a hand in everything. Acting, directing, producing, and not just in comedy. He's in the new Steve Jobs movie, too. I have huge respect for how hard he's working."

The 21 Jump Street star shuddered at the mention of Rogen and James Franco's Kim Jong-Un assassination comedy The Interview: adding: "Man, I can't even...

"I'm already scared of social media. If Twitter scares me, imagine how I feel about this!

"And the fact that people were joking that this was going to start World War Three... it's still a crazy thing to even joke about. Wars have been started over dumber s**t than this. I don't know what to say. I still don't."

On starring alongside Vince Vaughn and Tom Wilkinson in upcoming comedy Unfinished Business, he declared: "That's the dream.

"When you're able to attach your friends to a project - ideally one that you've written, produced and directed - then there's that feeling of control in an industry that can often seem as if it's operating outside of your sphere of influence.

"That's why I love what guys like Seth are doing. They're taking things into their own hands. They're gonna run this town one day."

Franco modelled a selection of MR PORTER's brands including Club Monaco, Officine Creative, Chalayan and Ami.
