The actor shared his thoughts on politics and also joined Twitter for the first time.

Sean Penn rarely makes late night appearances but he stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote the audiobook he narrated, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff.

[Mr. Douglas]

Dear Sean,

Opinions vary. Thanks SOOOO much for sharing yours.

Sadly, I cannot say, “Excellent choice”.

[RetSignman]

[Taking another whack at media attention, eh?]

More like trying to get attention of some of those socialist studio bosses to get an acting job.

[DEEP_e]

only he could pull something like that off (pun not intended:)

[Vince Ferrer]

At least he has Venezuela.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I believe you’re right. Another fruit loop.

[Army Air Corps]

She’s the genius who said that we needed safer bullets in order to reduce firearm-related deaths.

[seanmerc]

Don’t cry for me, Hugo Chavez!

Sean Flake

[proud American in Canada]

He looks awful.

And what sort of comparison is that? Totally bizarre.

[Know et al]

Would someone please get this poor dude some help!

[merkava]

now thats something sean penn knows how to do.

[proud American in Canada]

‘Wasn’t her name Joyce or Jocelyn, or am I thinking of the wrong person?’

_____________________________________________

You’re right! I’d forgotten about that. I think it was Jocelyn Elders.

[seanmerc]

Are you volunteering for that project?

[SoFloFreeper]

Sean is an expert on the subject.

[MNDude]

Didn’t Madonna accuse him of beating her?

[rightsmart]

So is in Penn’s mind, is he encouraging or discouraging people to vote for trump with that statement?

[2001convSVT]

“I wonder what Chavez’ buddy thinks of the Venezuelan experiment now.”

He still loves it, and should be appointed ambassador to Venezuela for life, never to return again to the USA.

[BigEdLB]

Is it Penn or is it a dummy or is there a difference?

[EnquiringMind]

And what sort of comparison is that? Totally bizarre.

Yeah, I don't get it. Makes no sense to me. Guess I'm missing the metaphor.

Masturbating your way to hell is similar to doing the following - Leaving your Hollywood mansion, driving down to Compton during the LA riots, showing your solidarity with the rioters, and having a shopping cart thrown through your front windshield.
