Sean Penn turns 62 and reveals what is the biggest challenge for him working in front of a camera
Even though he is one of the busiest and sought-after actors in the industry, it turns out that the veteran actor still faces quite a few challenges, even in the new movie starring him “Life on the Run” which he also directed. In a new and intimate interview, he reveals quite a bit about his personal life
62-year-old Sean Penn really has no intention of retiring anytime soon, evidence of which can be seen in the new movie starring him. But it turns out that even the oldest and greatest players have quite a few fears and challenges. In the interview, Paul revealed that in fact, he finds it very difficult to be in front of the camera. “Actually, I never felt comfortable being in front of a camera, unless I was being paid,” he said.
As we know, Lepen has a troubled past that includes addictions and a complex rehab process. ‘I still need vodka and pills to fall asleep at night, but I no longer use them to hide from the world, as I did for many years. I hope that I have learned from all this, and that I will continue to prioritize my family,” he explained.
Penn has two Oscar statuettes, one for his role in the movie “Milk” (2008) and the other for his role in the movie “Mystic River” (2003). His new film, “Life on the Run” was a big challenge in itself, says the actor. “This film went against all my instincts. The casting was intuitive, both the script and the direction. It was very instructive and different,” he said.
These days, Penn is busy with his acting career, and of course, also with his love life. As I recall, last October he separated from his wife Leila George, who is 30 years younger than him. ‘I’m still totally in love with her. I screwed up our marriage, that’s clear to me. We were together for five years, of which only one year as a married couple,” he concluded.
