On Friday evening, he sat with Collins, who hosts <em>The Source with Kaitlan Collins<\/em> weeknights on the cable news channel while also serving as the network\u2019s Chief White House Correspondent.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPenn won his third Oscar in March for best supporting actor for his role as repressed oppressor Col. Steven J. Lockjaw in Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s lauded Best Picture winner <em>One Battle After Anothe<\/em><em>r<\/em>. This added to his best actor wins for <em>Mystic River<\/em> in 2004 and <em>Milk<\/em> in 2009. Penn was notably absent from the Oscars ceremony to accept the award he was tipped to win; days later, it was revealed that he had flown to Ukraine to meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. After agreeing he should not attend the awards with his <em>One Battle After Another<\/em> team, he said he deliberately timed his Ukraine trip to coincide with the Oscars telecast.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe best that I could ever muster was relief,\u201d he admitted. \u201cKnowing that I wasn\u2019t going to do that anymore, I did one before that this year. I went to the Golden Globes; I\u2019d never been to that before. And that\u2019s where I decided, \u2018I can\u2019t do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201c[The Oscars] always represented social discomfort to me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Penn explained a rule about social gatherings to the reporter and the packed crowd at Spring Studios in lower Manhattan. \u201cI won\u2019t go anywhere to be with a designated group beyond eight people. If you cut out two hours for your night, it gives you 15 minutes per person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut don\u2019t add a ninth person, Penn said, as a larger-than-eight crowd is \u201cjust anxiety- and dread-inducing.\u201d Despite this \u2014 or perhaps because of it \u2014 Penn said he has managed to \u201cmellow out\u201d over the years, shedding the reputation for punching photographers and attacking castmates with screaming matches and other well-publicized anti-social behavior that his youthful antics had handed to the revered actor.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNot that he\u2019s 100 percent approachable these days. Penn told the crowd that the act of taking a selfie, even with some of his biggest fans, no matter their walk of life, is not going to happen \u2014 ever.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPeople should not do selfies\u00a0<em>ever<\/em>\u00a0with\u00a0<em>anyone<\/em>. It\u2019s bad for you; it\u2019s bad for everyone. It\u2019s a soul-sucker,\u201d he said, garnering a big laugh from the packed house as the audience hung on his every word. \u201cIt\u2019s the Holocaust grandmother and her 6-year-old paraplegic wheeling over? It\u2019s a hard no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1306\">Madonna Brings \u2018Confessions II\u2019 to Tribeca Festival: Short Film Features Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Garner and \u201cLasers Coming Out of Every Orifice\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tPenn launched his acting career in the early 1980s with ensemble roles in the military thriller <em>Taps<\/em> and the beloved comedy <em>Fast Times at Ridgemont High<\/em>, before turning toward serious roles and delivering riveting performances in <em>State of Grace<\/em> and <em>The Indian Runner<\/em>. His reputation as an actor grew alongside a reputation for violent outbursts that led to fines and even jail time. Those days are gone, he suggested, as Collins asked him toward the end of their chat whether he has mellowed over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI haven\u2019t had a yelling match with anyone in four years,\u201d Penn told her, then explained how this is possible. \u201cI have not listened to anyone yell for more than two seconds before I walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs Penn entered the canon of serious Hollywood actors in the aughts with his two best actor wins, his name also became synonymous with speaking out about aid and outreach to devastated parts of the world. Over the years, he has put his money, time, and energy where his mouth is \u2014 arguably more than anyone else in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt\u2019s been 16 years since Penn established J\/P HRO in the wake of the catastrophic Haiti earthquake in 2010. The relief nonprofit was renamed Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) and aims to bring immediate humanitarian aid and recovery to underserved communities across the globe, notably in war-torn Ukraine in recent years following Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe actor assured the crowd that the people of Ukraine are just like Americans, and that what is happening there is unimaginable and devastating. But he believes that ultimately the country will prevail over the Russian invasion, which has now stretched past the four-year mark.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs for this year\u2019s Oscars, Penn revealed that he did, in fact, watch the ceremony from Ukraine. For him, the famously lengthy awards show ran all night and into the morning, with the broadcast starting around 2 a.m. local time and ending around 5 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI really got to enjoy the Academy Awards for the first time,\u201d Penn told the crowd. \u201cIt was great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1304\">\u201cUnlike Anything That\u2019s Ever Been Done on Television Before\u201d: \u2018House of the Dragon\u2019 Battle Secrets Revealed at SXSW London<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three-time Academy Award-winning actor, filmmaker and author&#8217;s chat with the CNN anchor was a top event at the New York festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1164,1165,260],"class_list":["post-1310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-kaitlyn-collins","tag-sean-penn","tag-tribeca-festival"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
