Sean Penn took meeting in jungle with 'El Chapo'
[USATODAY] Sean Penn stunned Hollywood again, and not for his acting.Penn, the Oscar-winning movie star, political and humanitarian activist, rebel with many causes, writer and globetrotter, says he took a secret meeting late last year in a Mexican jungle with Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the runaway kingpin of the Sinaloa narco mob and two-time escapee from Mexican jails. Penn says this in an 11,000-word article, headlined "El Chapo Speaks," published in Rolling Stone late Saturday, complete with a picture of Penn and Guzmán (known as Shorty in Spanish) shaking hands, and a video of the paunchy-and-short drug lord answering questions about his sprawling drug business. Penn says their meeting started with a warm hug. When it ended hours later, Penn had a scoop and the possible script for a different movie: Call it Sean and Shorty. It's an episode bound to add to the mystique of Sean Penn-the-iconoclast, says PR expert Howard Bragman, founder of 15 Minutes PR. Perhaps by coincidence, the news broke on the eve of the Golden Globes. Posted by: Fred 2016-01-11 |
