Sean Penn and Charlize Theron seem to be getting awfully serious.

On Saturday evening during the Help Haiti Home Gala in Beverly Hills the 53-year-old actor hinted his 38-year-old lady love of several months changed his mind about his the astonishing number of gund he owns - 65 in total - per E!

In his speech the Mystic River actor said 'a strong woman who happens to be from South Africa' convinced him to destroy the fire arms.

'Sean stated during his speech, 'Being provoked by this aforementioned strong woman and considering how liberating of bulls--t and ugliness it would be not only get rid of the guns I have in the continental United States but also to destroy them, Jeff Koons and I had a chat the other day,' Penn said.

He added, 'The highest bidder gets every single one of my guns put in the hands of this iconic artist and sculptor…Koons will decommission [and] render inactive all of my cowardly killing machines.'

Charlize Theron should show us all how strong her convictions are by walking around any major US urban area at 2AM with no guns and no bodyguards.

Penn served time for assault and was charged with domestic abuse. How does he pass background checks?

Excellent question!

I still say Spicoli was the role he was born to play.

>>> “He’s an aging pretty-boy trying to hold on to his youth. It’s hard getting old in Hollywood.”

I know. In the solo shot of him in the article - is it just me, or does he resemble the aging lovechild between Dustin Hoffman and... well... Dustin Hoffman?

I actually like the movies in which I’ve seen him, and think him a good actor, but no way I’d emmulate this barely functional moron’s life choices.

Doncha just love the hypocrisy of ppl who make a living spouting the words written for them by others!

Wuss.

I wouldn’t “hit it” if she threw herself at me.

"'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Charlize Theron is an attractive young woman.

But not that attractive.

[Gaffer]

She is. She can be cleaned up real nice and play the femme fatale in most movies.

However, she's been in some perfume commercial lately that just grates me. Overbearing, arrogant, prancing, strutting disinterested ho’bag with an attitude. The egregious thing is they DARE to have the audacity to compare her visage with the likes of Marylin Monroe and Grace Kelly (IIRC).

[P-Marlowe]

If he would announce that he has fired all his armed guards and that he is completely unarmed in his home, I’d take him seriously.

Sure he is getting rid of his own gun collection, but he undoubtedly has an armed guard with him everywhere he goes and his property is patrolled by armed guards.

Same goes for his anti-gun girlfriend.

I must have stepped in something foul. I smell a lot of bovine excrement.

[Red in Blue PA]

She is set to star in an upcoming Mad Max movie in 2015.

Who wants to bet there will be plenty of guns in that post-apocalyptic movie? I guess it is okay to make money off that which you preach to be against.

I hate hypocrite, therefore I hate liberals.

[Joe Brower]

Someone needs to tell Sean that you can actually aim if you deploy the rear sight.

On second thought, don't tell him. $:-)

[JohnnyP]

I’ve never seen that movie but I recognize the other guy as “Uncle Martin”.

[jughandle]

He owned guns?

[Born to Conserve]

Nothing is worse than a liberal white female South African.

That's a three man rowboat, but I see no men in it.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Spicoli’s gonna feel even more stupid when that relationship goes down the tubes.
