“I don’t know Will Smith.
I met him once.
He seemed very nice when I met him.
“Why did I go to fucking jail for what you just did?
And you’re still sitting there?
Why are you guys standing and applauding his worst moment as a person?”
“This fucking bullshit wouldn’t have happened with Zelensky,” he toldVariety.
“Will Smith would never have left that chair to be part of stupid violence.
It never would have happened.”
“The Oscars producer thought, ‘Oh, he’s not light-hearted enough,’ Penn said in theVarietyinterview.
“Well, guess what you got instead?
Representatives for Smith did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
“It blew my mind he kept the meeting,” Penn recalled.
“There were Chechen kill squads in the streets already.”
Penn went on to describe Zelensky’s poise the day of the Russian invasion.
“His brain is fully oxygenated.
His eyes are clear and he’s warm.
I knew I’m either going to feel nothing or I’m going to let myself love him…
I saw a very big change in him from one day to the next.
At that moment, he was the significant target.
But he wasn’t going anywhere.
That day, he found out that he was born for this.”
