After churning out four new movies this year, plus an Emmy-nominated cameo on The Studio, Dave Franco is taking a break.
The Now You See Me: Now You Don’t star recently said he plans to “disappear for a while” following the release of the third installment in the magic/action franchise, in which he reprises his role slight-of-hand Jack Wilder.
“Basically, we’re getting through this week of press and then I will disappear for a while. I’m sure people are sick of me,” he joked to People. “And I will go to the middle of nowhere and climb into a hole.”
