I was happy to see this picture of 47-year-old Sean Penn on TMZ.com today. I think Sean Penn is still a real hottie, have thought so ever since seeing him in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" then really swooned when he was in the mid-80s flick "Colors" with Robert Duvall. But I'd tell friends about this crush and they'd say something like, "I don't get it."
Through "Casuaties of War," "Dead Man Walking," "Mystic River," and "21 Grams," I have remained smitten. He is one of the best actors around and was the only reason to see last year's remake of "All the King's Men."
And to know that this is a man who is willing to use his resources to do things like go to Iraq to try and learn for himself what is going or go to New Orleans to help hurricaine victims, his heart seems bigger than most of our politicians and makes him only more sexy.
