Franco has distinctive style of acting: Pinto

London: Actress Freida Pinto says she was taken aback by co-actor James Franco`s style of acting.

The two are working together on "Planet Of The Apes", where Pinto plays a scientist and girlfriend of Franco`s character in the upcoming prequel, reports dailystar.co.uk. "He`s got his own unique and distinctive style of acting. It`s not conventional at all. It does take you by surprise initially, but it`s all about being flexible and trying to understand how another actor works. I found a lot of things in his acting style that I could pick up and learn from," she said. IANS
