Sean Penn: ‘It’s time for cinema to get more inventive’
Two-time Oscar winning actor Sean Penn has told 鶹 Radio 5 Live that post-coronavirus will be a “good time [for cinema] to get a little more inventive”.
Speaking to presenter Emma Barnett, the star said he had “lost interest in going to movie theaters when you couldn’t find a movie without the underwear on the outside of the tights”.
He said: “Thoughtful films [were] going to television and only razzle dazzle taking up so many thousands of screens, it was not exciting me.”
The actor’s non-profit organisation, CORE (Community Organised Relief Effort) has carried out 400,000 Covid-19 tests across the United States since the pandemic began.
