Number 44 - Sean Penn
Sean Penn: Not really a huge fan of the guy per se, but as an actor, he's more fascinating to watch than most and more talented than most I feel. One of those special few and I mean few, that transcend greatness in the field of acting for the screen.
Born: August 16th 1960 (46 years old)
Spouse
Robin Wright Penn(27 April 1996 - present) 2 childrenMadonna(16 August 1985 - 10 January 1989) (divorced)
He served 32 days in jail in 1987 for hitting an extra.
Son, with Robin Wright Penn, Hopper Jack (b. 6 August 1993).
His son is named after two family friends, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson.
Quit smoking for a while on his 40th birthday for health reasons. Prior to that, he was known as one of Hollywood's heaviest smokers, smoking at least four packs of cigarettes a day.
His father, Leo Penn, had been blacklisted in the 50s Hollywood.
A popular indie-band in The Netherlands is called "Seanpenn".
Credits Malcolm McDowell as the best actor with whom he's worked.
As of 2005, the only actor to ever receive a Best Actor nomination for a Woody Allen film, besides Woody Allen himself.
"[Discussing Oliver Stone] I think that his basic pig nature keeps him from doing the best of what he ought to do. And it keeps him from being someone I want to run into."
"The horror of the Academy Awards is what the press does leading up to it, to make it a popular TV show. Where they'll actually make it like it's an arm- wrestling event between two actors. That becomes very petty, and that's something that's embarrassing to follow up with accepting the invitation to the party."
"If the primary statement of the film is that if you have good abs it's OK to kill people, I pass."
"I became an actor because of Robert De Niro".
"This might be the last thing anybody would see, but I'm probably shy. I've never gone to a party where I didn't drink alcohol. I have a great time, but I'm not comfortable. My straight nature is not very social. That doesn't mean I haven't caught myself being terribly arrogant."
