James Franco has issued an apology to Justin Bieberafter he spoofed the teen idol's video for his hit single, Boyfriend.

As we previously reported, a clip of Franco dressed as Biebs and cavorting with Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson hit the internet earlier this month, with the 34-year old lip-synching his way through JB's track.

Speaking at the Sundance Film Festival, Franco has said sorry to Justin for starring in the parody - with the actor confirming he was asked to remove the clip from his WhoSay site.

When asked about the Bieber spoof by E! Online, James claimed: "I was asked to take it down by some people. Bieber didn't contact me, but I don't think he was too happy.

He then went on to add: "I wasn't trying to diss him."

Despite Franco's comments that the 18-year old was unhappy with his spoof, it has been reported that Justin is yet to see the video.
