Sean Penn confirms his willingness to collaborate with Woody Allen, expressing immediate enthusiasm for another opportunity. | Cinema

Sean Penn defended Woody Allen on The Louis Theroux Podcast, stating that he would work with him without hesitation. Penn did not know Allen well enough to be certain of the accusations against him but felt that the stories were mostly told by people he would not trust. Allen is accused of sexual abuse by Farrow, although two investigations found no evidence. Penn also discussed his meeting with former Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, which he believed to be staged, and his opinions on Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Penn also talked about his relationship with Madonna and how their divorce did not affect their friendship. He also believes that his occasional violence towards paparazzi may have contributed to the rise of celebrity culture.
