Franco has distinctive style of acting: Freida

London: Actress Freida Pinto says she was taken aback by co-actor James Franco's style of acting.

The two are working together on "Planet Of The Apes", where Pinto plays a scientist and girlfriend of Franco's character in the upcoming prequel, reports dailystar.co.uk.

"He's got his own unique and distinctive style of acting. It's not conventional at all. It does take you by surprise initially, but it's all about being flexible and trying to understand how another actor works. I found a lot of things in his acting style that I could pick up and learn from," she said.
