    Dave Franco is planning to "disappear for a while"

    The 40-year-old actor has starred in a string of high-profile projects in recent times, including Together, Regretting You, and Now You See Me, and Dave is now planning to take a step back from the spotlight.


    The Hollywood actor - who is married to actress Alison Brie - told People: "Basically, we're getting through this week of press and then I will disappear for a while."

    Dave joked that film fans are now sick of the sight of him.

    He quipped: "I'm sure people are sick of me, and I will go to the middle of nowhere and climb into a hole."

    Asked when he plans to return to the spotlight, Dave replied: "You'll see me when you see me."

    Meanwhile, Alison - who worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - recently revealed that the couple's "shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter" in their professional relationship.

    The 42-year-old actress and Dave love working together on different things, but they're still "very selective" about the projects they commit to.

    Alison - who tied the knot in 2017 - told Collider: "I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together.

    "Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing."

    Alison and Dave often receive offers to work together, but the actress stressed that they tend to be very choosy about which films they accept.

    The brunette beauty - who previously had starring roles in TV shows Community and Mad Men - said: "We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together.

    "We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did."
