Last November, James Franco and Seth Rogen turned their bromance into a viral sensation with Bound 3, a hilarious shot-for-shot parody of Kanye Wests Bound 2 video (which featured the rapper making out with fiance Kim Kardashian on a motorcycle). Appearing on ABCsThe View, Franco says West enjoyed their tribute so much, he asked the duo to perform it live the night before his wedding in Versailles,Us Weeklyreports.

At first, Franco was worried about Wests reaction to the video, assuming the rapper would be offended.We did get feedback, Franco said. Kim loved the video, and we didnt hear back from Kanye, so we kind of felt like hes not bashing us. He probably hates it, but hes not going to say anything.
But instead of unleashing a trademark rant about the purity of his art (or even throwing in a mid-song diss, like he did with theSouth Parkfish stick incident), West thought the clip was hilarious, prompting Kardashian to tweeta note of gratitude ([Kanye] loves u guys! He laughed so hard at this.) in Rogens direction. Then, about two weeks ago, Westcontacted the This is the Endco-stars directly with his bold nuptial invitation which may or may not come to fruition.
Seth and I were on the phone, he continues. We thought he was just going to let us have it. But he loved it. And Im pretty sure I can say it now because Im pretty sure its not going to happen. He wanted us to perform it live the night before his wedding at Versailles.
Its depressing to think this amazing spectacle might not take place. But, as Franco notes, the end result might be a bit awkward:I think it would have been awesome for about 10 seconds, he says, but then there would be Seth with his shirt off in front of all the Kardashians.
