While discussing a possible threat from North Korea, President Barack Obama mentioned the movie, "The Interview," starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.
The problem is Obama called Franco "James Flacco," and social media responded with a plethora of jokes , including a corrective tweet from Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.
. @barackobama It's James Franco, not James Flacco ;)

"I love Seth and I love James," the president said during Friday's news conference — though the love apparently didn't extend to knowing Franco's last name.
Flacco sent a subsequent tweet welcoming Franco to the Flacco family. Flacco does have two brothers, Mike and John.


Welcome to the family, brother. @JamesFrancoTV

Sony pulled plans for a Christmas Day release of "The Interview" following a cyber attack on the movie studio that the FBI said was orchestrated by the North Korean government.
