Sean Penn on His ‘El Chapo’ Interview: ‘My Article Failed’

Guzman has been on the run for nearly six months after he successfully escaped from Mexico’s most secured prison.

Penn made headlines the following day when Rolling Stone published his account of visiting the kingpin in hiding last October. Rose asked. “No”, Penn responded simply.

It has emerged that recently arrested Mexican drug lord “El Chapo” was apparently interested in buying Chelsea.

Sean Penn says Mexican law enforcement has been dishonest about claims that the actor’s interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman had something to do with the fugitive’s re-capture.

The Miami meeting followed a phone call to Gomez last Friday by U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to congratulate Mexico on its recapture of Guzman.

Mr Penn’s access to the drug kingpin, brokered by Mexican-American actress Kate del Castillo, contrasts with the threats, censorship and murders local journalists face from gangs.

In them, he tells the actress he does not drink much but that he will make an exception if she comes to meet him.

In his article, Penn describes how the moment del Castillo retired to another room, Guzman and his men strapped on body armour and guns.

The Jan. 9 publication of Penn’s interview ultimately enabled authorities to relocate Guzman, police said.

Penn uses a bunch of boring exposition about his adventure and waxes political and poetical on the morality of selling drugs versus the morality of the prison system in the USA for about 20 paragraphs, before getting to the point.

In the messages, even Guzman recognizes that Mexican or USA intelligence officials were probably following or monitoring numerous people who knew him. “We’ll be able to sit down and I have a thousand questions for Sean”.

He added that he didn’t fear for his life, but he regretted that the attention paid to the legality of his visit with the drug lord took away from the stated objective for his visit.

Sean Penn is a hell of an actor. “I have a regret that the entire discussion about this article ignores its goal, which was to contribute to this conversation on the war on drugs”.
