Lindsay Lohan may have found herself in bed with Charlie Sheen, but the same can't be said about James Franco.

At least that's what the Spring Breakers star seemed to suggest while on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show.

"You turned down sex with Lindsay Lohan, didn't you?" Stern asked Franco on Monday. "Back then when she was a lot hotter?"

"Oh, gosh. Poor Lindsay. I haven't talked to her in a while," Franco said.

According to the 34-year-old actor, he and Lohan met a long time ago through friends while staying at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.

When Stern pushed for an answer as to whether he shot down Lohan's advances, Franco replied, "I mean, I don't want to brag about it. I don't know how that got out."

But he was quick to add that "[she] was having issues even then, so you feel weird. Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do that."

However, Franco did go on to say that he is currently dating and is definitely interested in "a long-term relationship."

Just not with Lohan, apparently.
