Sean Penn Is Filming A Documentary For Vice Studios
President Volodymyr Zelensky, an erstwhile actor and comedian, Instagrammed a story of his meeting with Penn, albeit keeping the sound muted.
Zelensky publishes a video with Sean Penn without sound, with the caption “The more people who know about the war in Ukraine, the more chance there is of stopping Russia.” https://t.co/z5hX227dw6

Not Penn’s First Rodeo
Of course, this is not the first time Penn has gone and looked for trouble. He has been both lauded and criticized for putting himself at the center of debatable issues.
Back in 2015, he went and interviewed the drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán for an issue of Rolling Stone. The article did not go down well, and later Penn admitted that it failed because it was not able to spark a debate, in what he felt was America’s role in the drug-related street violence.
Twitter is having a ball at Sean Penn’s expense, along with AnnaLynne McCord, whose poem for Vladimir Putin did not go down the way she thought it would.
Here’s one Twitter user airing their opinion.
How are Sean Penn and AnnaLynne McCord not married? She could beat box narrate his Ukraine documentary, and together they would save the world. #SeanPenn #PutinsMother pic.twitter.com/MMm2gAmZA3

There were other, more serious criticisms heading Sean Penn’s way as well.
https://t.co/B1T51Gu7ZM #SeanPenn a politically active actor was spotted Thursday in the first row of a press briefing in Kyiv, where officials talked about Russia. Why didn’t he visit Donbass to see destroyed cities bombed since 2014 by the Ukr forces to make his documentary?🤔
