James Franco loves a good phone picture and his recent visit to Hong Kong presented the perfect subject.
\nThe Hollywood actor used his time in Asia to take in the sights of the recent democracy protests, known to many as the Umbrella Movement.
\nJames was spotted walking through the tents and shelters at Admiralty on Friday.
\nThe controversial character walked through the Occupy Central protest site, stopping to take pictures of the then quiet scene.
\nDespite his penchant for posting his pictures online, these seem to be for his personal collection.
\nJames kept his head down as he walked through the tented area in dark glasses and a grey beanie.
\nHe appeared to be keeping a low profile in a black leather jacket, white T-shirt and jeans.
\nThe movement first started at the end of September this year, after the Hong Kong government refused to offer free elections to the people<\/p>\n

The people taking to the street were predominantly students who objected to new reforms being introduced to China’s Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.
\nWith the campaign taking over several major city intersections, support is reportedly waning with locals.
\nAlthough there is has been no indication of when the protest may end, it seems James wanted to make the most of the sight while he was in town.
\nFans on Instagram were keen to thank him for visiting.
\nOne wrote, ‘Thank for supporting the occupy central event in admiralty thank u so much.’
\nWhile another commented on one of his pictures, ‘#umbrellamovement thanks James Franco!’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
