U.S. President Barack Obama apparently had the Baltimore Ravens on his mind Friday during a press conference, referring to "The Interview" actor James Franco as James Flacco.
"... I think it says something interesting about North Korea that they decided to have the state mount an all-out assault on a movie studio because of a satirical movie starring Seth Rogen and James Flacco," Obama said.
Of course, the slip-up didn't go unnoticed, with just about everyone on Twitter (including the real Flacco) chiming in:
.@barackobama It's James Franco, not James Flacco ;)
