Sean Penn 'thinking about taking up arms against Russia' to defend Ukraine
Fox News
Actor and filmmaker Sean Penn says he's contemplated 'taking up arms against Russia' to help defend Ukraine.
"The only possible reason for me staying in Ukraine longer last time would’ve been for me to be holding a rifle, probably without body armor, because as a foreigner, you would want to give that body armor to one of the civilian fighters who doesn’t have it or to a fighter with more skills than I have, or to a younger man or woman who could fight for longer or whatever," Penn told Hollywood Authentic.
"So, where I am in life is short of doing that, but if you’ve been in Ukraine [fighting] has to cross your mind. And you kind of think what century is this? Because I was at the gas station in Brentwood the other day and I’m now thinking about taking up arms against Russia? What the f--- is going on?" Penn, 61, continued.
