Sean Penn won’t apologize

[notproductiveproductions]

They forgot the meaning of the word “acting”. I agree with Penn on this

[anastudent]

And yet, who criticized gay actors for playing straight characters?

[johnross]

By this standard only murderers could portray murderers.

[DoomDarenxbourg]

And Tom Hanks didn't have Aids in Philadelphia.

[hidenname]

Damn, and Robert Deniro never ran a Casino....

[joshfactor]

he's not actually gay & tom cruise isn't actually a secret agent; do people not understand the definition of acting?

[thediscgolfdude]

You mean to tell me Christopher Reeves isn’t Superman?

[Akkatlah]

Gay actors have being playing straight characters since cinema was invented. It's called acting.

[Rj-ijko]

Wait until people find out that Chris Evans isn’t actually a WWII veteran that was pumped full of super soldier serum😱

[lob]

I don’t think everyone and everything needs an apology. This new era of sht is annoying. Good for him for not apologizing. Smh

[CrazyDiamond]

Sean Penn delivered one of the most incredible performances I’ve seen in Mystic River. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins totally nailed their roles and Clint Eastwood really told the story well.

[enjoyer]

I disagree with some of his politics but this is a guy who took the role for sincere reasons. They should just leave him alone.

[eliduncan]

He shouldn't apologize for either reason

[SpontaneousAndStructured]

A lot of people seem to forget that we live in a pluralist society. I hope they get that they have to coexist with people with different ideas than them.

[chancellor]

And ray lotta wasn’t a mafia associate 🤦

[jalander]

You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. These people need to get their 💩 together! 🤣

[saiyan]

I think people forget that acting is proving you can play something you're not. There's nothing wrong with people playing things that they are, but it takes more to place something you're not.

[mr.melancholy]

He's an actor and he was ACTING. By these weirdos logic only real life convicts can play bad guys in movies. Glad he won't apologize

[Blakmage]

He’s right not to bend the knee to the woke weirdos. If gay actors can play straight roles, surely straight actors can play gay roles. It’s called acting. There’s no talent to be found in a movie where everyone is just themselves. If you want that, just watch amateur home videos.

Great actor who doesn't give a fk
