Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn on Friday rejected Mexico's claim that his secret meeting with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was crucial to the drug kingpin's recapture, saying officials were trying to put him in the crosshairs of the feared cartel.
Penn also told talk show host Charlie Rose that he regrets the fallout from the Rolling Stone article based on his interview with Guzman. Their meeting in a jungle hideout was the first interview anyone scored with the fugitive drug lord, and Penn said he had hoped it would spur a broader discussion on the drug war.
In Penn's first major television interview about the meeting, Rose asked the actor whether he believed Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto's government had deliberately sought to credit him with Guzman's capture to put him at risk from the Sinaloa Cartel.
"Yes," Penn replied.

May he enjoy their attention.
If it didn’t help then Penn is guilty of aiding and abetting and accessory after the fact for El Chapo’s crimes.
Let’s see our LE arrest him.
Was it Mexico that talked him into doing something so stupid that he’s virtually the only one with few enough brains to do it? Sean, look in the mirror. That’s the culprit!
Gee. What a shame. I’m all broken up over it.
I wonder how Mr. Penn feels about gun control now.
So do I.
I wouldn’t miss Penn a bit.
Drug lord was interested in Mexican actress, not Sean Penn

This is the wrong place for sympathy. I don’t think many people here would piss on his teeth if they were on fire.
"T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub literate every time he opens his mouth." -- Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)
He should vacation there.
Drop his whiney liberal ass off in central LA. The mehican gangbangers will make short work of him.
Dear Mexico, Please feel free to take Sean Penn.
Please.
Sean,
If they do not take you then go away on your own.
Jerk.
I hope Mexico doesn’t actually intend for the cartel to shoot Sean’s brains out. The joke will be on them.
I heard it was Whoraldo’s idea.
Well he’s a Celeb you know...he doesn’t have to think, it’s like a ‘starring roll’ you just memorize the lines and it plays out...
Now he tampered with the ‘real’ world and doesn’t know what to do...to bad, that’s what you get when you don’t know how to play with the ‘big boys’....
In the interest of better relations with Mexico, how can we help?
Without a doubt, Sean greatly helped the capture.
I don’t mind that Sean is now a target. I am at peace with it.
Put some ice on it, Sean.
