Sean Penn's humanitarian work abroad and in the USA is unmatched by other celebrities. He's a doer. He's also pretty eccentric. Got to love the

“I’m often late to leave to places, because I like to stay where I am…” ~Sean Penn 😂😂😂😂

Sean has come a very long way since Fast Times at Ridgemont High. What a journey he has had thru his career. An impressive guy and great human being. Also a 100% Ukraine supporter as am I. 🇺🇦🇺🇸👍🏻

Sean Penn is a different kind of dude. but one I respect immensely. He truly walks the walk when it comes to life. I remember Hurricane Katrina, where he was wading through the waters going house to house with a shotgun looking for survivors. Then there's Haiti, where's he been heavily invested for more than a decade now since the earthquake and spends a lot of time there helping the people. And then there's hanging out with El Chapo, the most dangerous cartel boss at the time, and Sean Penn is riding around with him as if they're best pals. Yeah, he's definitely a man who sees and lives differently than most.

[francescacastiglione]

Sean Penn is one of my favorite actors of all time. Mystic River, Milk, Dead Man Walking, All The Kings Men, The Interpreter, I Am Sam, The Falcon and the Snowman, and of course, Fast Times at Ridgemont High… I’m missing so many more!

[wudzen]

So much respect for Sean Penn and his conscience.

Love Sean Penn. One of the best actors we have. He is brilliant and he has such admirable ethics. A true humanitarian. 💙

Sean Penn visited the Navajo Nation during 2020, peak Covid. Regardless of the virus, restrictions, and limited resources, he arrived with 4 to 5 semi trucks of food and water when we were on lockdown, handed out to all the families in need. Mad respect for helping us Native Americans during such a crisis! God Bless you Sean Penn 🙏

Sean Penn is a perfect example of how, in the 70's, few teachers considered that maybe a student got bad grades because they were hyper-functioning, (ADD) or had dyslexia, or a turbulent home life, or just had trouble assimilating to school, etc. Back then they just assumed you weren't very bright and assigned you vocational classes like wood shop or home economics, which only made your disinterest in school even more profound.

It's always great to see a celebrity use their advantages (money, time, influence) to help others. Sean and Keanu are members of that group. So much respect, and love them both as entertainers.
