Sean Penn turns 60 this Monday, but he claims to have always felt that he is 77. In his sixties or septuagenarian, the actor has a successful career with two Oscars for Mystic River and My name is Harvey Milk , in addition to three nominations. However, those years are behind him and he has had to turn to the world of series, with projects like The First , to continue acting. On the other hand, he is currently experiencing a good personal moment. After two failed marriages, in which he starred in several controversies, Penn again tries his luck as a husband with Leila George D'Onofrio, 28-year-old actress.
They were married in late July in a ceremony held via Zoom, a video calling app. "We had a covid wedding," he explained a few days later on Seth Meyers' Late Night program . Present at the celebration were the bride and groom, the children that the actor had with fellow actress Robin Wright - Dylan and Hopper, aged 29 and 26 respectively - and the officiant, the latter via the computer. A wedding that was much more “socially liberating” because it didn't have to think about inviting a large number of people.
They began their relationship in 2016, but it was not until this year that the couple was seen in public, specifically on the red carpet of the Meet Me in Australia event at the Los Angeles Zoo to benefit the victims of the forest fires from Australia. They met during audiobook recordings and have been caught in public on very few occasions. Three years ago they were photographed while on vacation on a beach in Oahu, Hawaii, a paradise populated by surfers from around the world that is often ignored by the paparazzi .
A different way for Penn to deal with his romances, which have always made headlines. When he was 24 years old, he married Madonna after several months of dating. It was such a "wild" wedding that artist Andy Warhol called it the most exciting weekend of his life. There was so much anticipation that Penn pointed a pistol at the paparazzi who flew helicopters over the mansion in Malibu where the ceremony was taking place. The photographers could read in the sand on the beach: "What is it?"
Their marriage was doomed, even professionally. A year later they starred in Shanghai Surprise , a failed film produced by ex-beatle George Harrison. But the relationship problems were mainly due to the actor's violent nature, so Madonna filed for divorce in 1989. Penn was arrested six times and later hospitalized for treatment, something that gave the singer hope. But that didn't work. Despite the rumors, the artist assures that she was never mistreated by her ex-husband, whom she has come to describe as the love of her life.
About seven years later, the actor went down the aisle again with actress Robin Wright, his longest relationship so far. That wedding was quieter than the first, with 80 guests, including his children and well-known actors such as Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro, Warren Beatty, Marlon Brando and Sussan Sarandon. However, Penn had not changed and the marriage again ended in divorce.
The separation was in 2010 and three years later the interpreter began a relationship with Charlize Theron. A courtship that lasted only a year, but was very intense for both actors. So much so that they came to think that they were engaged, something that Theron denied last June on The Howard Stern Show : “It was a relationship, without a doubt. We were definitely exclusive, but it was only for a year. We never moved. I never thought of marrying him. It wasn't anything like that. I never wanted to get married. That has never been something important to me. We had a relationship and then it didn't work anymore. " At that time the actress affirmed, like Madonna, that Penn was the love of her life, but after a year both decided to go their separate ways.
Other names that have been part of the actor's sentimental life have been actress Scarlett Johansson, model Petra Nemcova and Shannon Costello, former communication director of the J / P Haitian Relief Organization, a foundation created by the actor for the reconstruction of Haiti. Penn, beyond his torrid romances, has developed an altruistic side even during the coronavirus crisis. Last April he announced the opening of a hospital in a humble area of Los Angeles (California, USA) to test for covid-19. Last year he collaborated in rescue efforts in the Bahamas after the passage of Hurricane Dorian and in 2018 he traveled to Istanbul after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Arabian embassy to record a documentary about the events.
