    The dude is a bit of a weirdo and a domestic abuser, but holy crap he’s led an interesting life.

    Was married to Madonna, beat up both her and some paparazzi, relationship exploded dramatically.

    Got his own boat together and personally rescued people stranded during Katrina.

    Interviewed El Chapo in person, and committed enough opsec violations in the resulting article to get Chapo arrested (and is still alive).

    The world is a more interesting place with him in it, that’s for sure.

        Not on purpose. He was likely tracked by the DEA.

      Yeah, somehow I just can’t imagine the pure chivalry in Will Smith if the joke would have been made by e.g. The Rock.

    But what if Will Smith ended up slapping Zelenskiy? How crazy would that have been? I don’t think Mr. Penn understands the forces he’s dealing with here.

      When the war broke out, who among us didn’t secretly whisper a prayer that Sean Penn would get involved though? He’s the only one who can fix it.

    Well his imagination and worldbuilding are quite wonderful… He should be a writer not an actor.

    Sean Penn sounds like he’s got his head so far up his own Hollywood ass he can watch himself emote through his own tonsils. These are the words of a man who articulates his entire reality through the prism of mainstream entertainment.

    The dude even loaned his Oscar to Zelenskyy. Like, what is he trying to say?

      To be fair, maybe the Oscar is why Ukraine has been doing so well? We don’t know for sure.

    Man, articles like this should put the guy’s age in there somewhere near the beginning so I can see if he’s old enough to be getting senile.

    He’s possibly correct, but that would mean the Oscars would have been more of a place to protest than it already is. Which I guess is better than a display of Will Smith’s stupidity.
