After questions swirled about Sean Penn's Oscar no-show, his absence is starting to make more sense.
The 65-year-old actor, nominated during the March 15 Academy Awards for his performance in "One Battle After Another," was not in the theater to accept his trophy after nabbing the coveted best supporting actor honor.
Penn, instead, chose to visit Ukraine, where the actor was photographed walking the streets of the country's capital Kyiv, on Monday, March 16, according to photos by AFP and distributed by Getty Images. Penn was there to show support to the war-torn nation, a senior Ukrainian official told AFP.
Penn's win during Sunday's Oscars made him a three-time Academy Award winner.
Kieran Culkin, who presented the category, joked after the announcement, "Sean Penn couldn't be here, or didn't want to, so I accept the award on his behalf."
