Fellow actor outs Penn as moron
Actress Maria Conchita Alonso deviated from the Hollywood Party Line and actually said what she thinks about Sean Penn's political grandstanding.
Here's a hint: She's not impressed.
Q: What do you think about Sean Penn winning at the Oscars?
A:He's an amazing actor -- I can't take that away from him. He's an amazing actor. It's just that he has no clue at all what's going on in Venezuela. He praises Hugo Chavez, who is a dictator and a killer. So, I try to put aside him being an amazing actor, and the political thing, which he has no clue! He should just shut up about what he doesn't know.
Alonso was asked about Penn taking home the statuette at this year's Oscars; she replied that she was on location filming and reacted in a way that made
me like her that much more.
I was watching in my room, when his turn came [to give his Oscar acceptance speech], I muted it and I started working on my lines.
I know the feeling, and never regret hitting the mute button whenever Penn goes off script.
Sean Penn: Great actor, political ignoramus, toady to tyrants, insufferable celebrity.
Sounds like his former co-star (they were in Colors together back in the '90s) has his number.
