Dave Franco dispels rumors that he has been riding his older brother James Franco's coattails. While his older brother got his start in Hollywood first, the younger Franco actor said that his brother was not the only reason why he also achieved success in show business. In an interview with Bustle, published on October 28, Franco didn't fully reject accusations that he's a nepo-sibling, but he said that he worked hard to prove his worth in the business. He said: "No one was going to hire me because I was James Franco's little brother. If I sucked, I would have disappeared very quickly."Dave Franco at the "Regretting You" premiere (Image via Kevin Winter/Getty Images)That said, Dave Franco said that his older brother did help him put his feet in the right direction by helping him get an agent and a foot in the door.
