James Franco told Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach that he "loved" her days after the beauty queen revealed that he has always been one of her celebrity crushes.
Earlier this week, Wurtzbach stopped by Entertainment Tonight to talk about Steve Harvey's infamous Miss Universe blunder as well as the possibility of sharing the crown with Miss Colombia's Ariadna Gutierrez.
In the interview, Wurtzbach revealed that she has always had a crush on Franco, alongside Seth Rogen and Channing Tatum. "The Interview" star immediately responded on Instagram by posting a photo of him alongside Wurtzbach with the caption, "I love the Philippines!!! Love to Miss Universe."
Wurtzbach regrarmmed the photo and wrote, I LOVE YOU MORE!!! @jamesfrancotv." At the time of writing the photo had more than 21,000 likes and over 900 comments.

The photo was also reposted in the official Instagram account of Miss Universe. The caption read, "We're loving all the love that's going around!"
Meanwhile, Wurtzbach also responded to Gutierrez calling Harvey's oversight a "great injustice." The reigning Miss Universe 2015 held that she understands why Gutierrez felt that way. She added that she would most likely feel the same if things happened the other way around.
Wurtzbach added that she was also concerned of Gutierrez.
"I hope that she realizes that this will open doors for her. I think that she will go far," she said.
When asked what she thought of the possibility of sharing the crown with Gutierrez, like what Donald Trump suggested, Wurtzbach admitted that it would be "a challenge," adding that it has never been done before.
In an interview with Colombia's W Radio, via CNN, Gutierrez admitted that she has received several job offers. It has also opened doors for her to work in the United States. Multiple reports also suggest that she has been offered a guest role in "Modern Family," possibly as Gloria's (Sofia Vergara) sister.
Although it has been a "very humiliating" experience for her, Gutierrez shared that she would rather have a positive outlook and focus on the good things.
"I managed to make history, which I think is more important than winning the Miss Universe title," she said.
