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.

El Chapo, Sean was an agent for both the US and Mexico.
“he should vacation there”
or -Venezuela
or -Brazil
or- Honduras
or- Columbia
I am sure the socialist’s of all those countries will protect him- (oh by the way he cannot buy his 66 firearms
he gave up- they are MELTED!- ) so maybe he can ask Winchester for a break on some new models-
sarc
He wrote good books.
Gee what a shame
Anyone remember watching the movie A MAN APART with Vin Diesel ?
Well, it would make for some interesting video.
There’s a rumor going around -
The reward for Chapo’s capture has been deposited in Sean Penn’s Swiss bank account.
Gee. That was such an informative, interesting interview. It sure was worth the risk to Penn’s life. Spicoli had more common sense.
Reuters writes this ass is an Oscar winner. I know could look it up but I could care less. Should I care? He’s never appealed to me in any sense whatsoever.
I said this at the time.El Estupido Penn just got a price on his head.
I guess Penn never heard the expression - if you sup with the devil, use a long spoon.
Well said, I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard it was Penn that scored the interview...and the El Chapo gets caught. I’m hoping if I can put 2 and 2 together so can El Chapo.
Not even going to be upset when they make up some stupid Penn honorary award like Actors Guild Bravery award.
I was wondering if someone was going to connect that meeting with Guzman’s capture.
If the cartel is convinced that is indeed so, Penn is a dead man walking.
What’s he worried about, I’m sure he scoffed when Trump said many Mexicans were murderers....
You can bet that the Cartel knows exactly where Penn is, 24 hrs a day.
All it’s gonna take is for one of them to get a little too hyped up on some good coca and tequila and that’s it for poor Sean.
Them sum’bitches is crazy!
Poetic justice.
The world would not even blink at the loss of Sean Penn.
