Talk:Sean Penn

Paparazzi material, my take on it

This is my first time posting here, and I am going to charge ahead like a bull in a china shop to include the following: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWA12843661125997597A0?source=PA%20Feed&ct=5 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.60.48 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 September 2005

Removal from career section

"One of his competitors for that Oscar was Bill Murray who was so clearly devastated that he did not win for his performance in Lost in Translation that the presenter also asked the audience to clap for Murray."

This just isn't relevant to his career. Maybe put it under a trivia section??

Penn on Wikipedia

Does anyone else think Sean Penn is himself largely responsible for this article? There are signs of his unmistakeable writing style, and since when did Wiki articles include this sort of thing:

"In 1986 he starred in the drama At Close Range, opposite Christopher Walken. The film was based on a true story and gained positive reviews from critics. Fans and critics noticed the change in Penn's body build. Penn appeared very muscular and in shape. It's considered to be the first film to cash in on Penn's status as a sex symbol."

Or this:

"On April 10, 2003, Penn's 1987 Buick Grand National was stolen in Berkeley, California with two firearms in the trunk. Sean also has a 1968 Chevrolet El Camino."

Even if his car ownership were notable, that's a pretty big non sequitur for an author who isn't Sean Penn.

Just a thought. Ncsaint (talk)

I can only agree with this sentiment. I have added a section concerning an open letter sent by Penn in October 2004 to Trey Parker and Matt Stone just prior to the release of Team America:World Police. Since this letter has brought Penn considerable embarrassment and has been widely criticised as unfair on Stone and Parker, thus it is not unfair to comment that it is odd that it was not on the page till now. I urge caution and restraint on permitting (any) detail from being removed from this page, Penn is almost definitely involved or someone in his fan base.

The article is undoubtedly written like something I would expect to see on seanpenn.com (not even sure if such a page really exists).--74.195.63.121 (talk) 03:48, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Support for Hugo Chavez

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/03/08/sean-penn-wants-reporters-jailed-calling-chavez-dictator/

I wonder if Sean has the intelligence to understand how ironic it is that he feels someone should be jailed for calling Chavez a Dictator. Earth to Sean! I wonder if he thinks someone should be jailed for disagreeing wIth Obama? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamitod (talk • contribs) 22:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Any mention of Chavez should include alonzo's letter about penn jewish backgroudn and chavex anti semitism gadfly46 18:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree. penn's affinity for leftist dictators and human rights violators should be further developed in this article.--74.195.63.121 (talk) 03:55, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.

The above seems like spam. I'd revert it, but I don't know the policy about reversions on Talk pages... WalterGR (talk | contributions) 17:36, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

It's common knowledge that Sean Penn lived with his parents in France during formative years of his life, hence the common and preferred French pronunciation of his name, despite Sean not being a French name.

Should the personal life section mention that he smokes 80 cigarettes a day? (92.10.128.86 (talk) 19:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC))
