Celebrity of the Week: Sean Penn







Last Friday (15), in Los angeles, Ariel Goldenberg, a Brazilian  actor with Down Syndrome, saw his life long dream of meeting actor Sean Penn come true. The actor met Sean Penn at his house. For those who doesn’t know what’s going on, Goldenberg is a huge fan of Sean Penn and his colleagues started a campaign (#vemseanpenn) to bring Sean Penn to Brazil to attend the premiere of “Colegas” (buddies).


Despite all the buzz, Sean Penn didn’t come to Brazil for the premiere of “Colegas”. I actually knew he wouldn’t come. A lot of Hollywood actors don’t like their names associated with advertising campaign. #vemseanpenn helped to promote the movie. I wasn’t aweare of the movie before this campaign and I didn’t know about Ariel either. But everything is possible in Hollywood, baby. And Goldenberg’s dream came true and he met his idol.










I think that Goldenberg was a little crazy to simply knock on Penn’s door. This is actually banned in some states. Places like Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Malibu have a very strong privacy law. You can’t even drive thru some streets uninvited. There are many warning signs and security cameras and in California, depending on the case, a person can get up to 6 months in jail and have to pay a fine of about $1000.

I've always liked Sean Penn. He's on my list of favorite actors. There is a group in the U.S who doesn’t  like him for being "socialist." Maybe that’s why the campaign was not as strong in the US, but it was enough to catch his attention. He didn’t go to Brazil for the premiere of the movie but he welcomed Ariel into his house and was very nice to him and that’s why Sean Penn is our celebrity of the week.
I’m not socialist but I don’t care about people’s political view, race, sexual orientation or religion. I don’t judge people. I like Sean Penn’s work and that’s it. I don’t care about anything else and you shouldn’t care either. ;)
