My afternoon in the jungle with Sean Penn

Stacy-J · 11-26-2004

Playa del Carmen has recently been blessed with the presence of one of the hottest actors around...Sean Penn. It was my lucky day when he called my boyfriend Eric who runs the ATV Jungle Tour to book a private tour. See, I used to be the photographer so I jumped at the chance to revisit this roll and hang with the Penn family. (thanks honey) Just a few hours of riding through the jungle, swimming in the cenote etc... And girls in case you're wondering he DOES look great in his swim trunks. They were so nice and it was all I could do to contain my self and keep from screaming out "Oh my God!!! I'm your biggest fan! I loved you in I am Sam! I can't believe you were married to Madonna...have you seen her lately?!"......well you get the point. It was a great experience. I have to say thanks to my Eric for putting up with my drooling over the photos with the girls that night at the bar. Check out the photo.

Too Cool....

Neat!

He sounds a lot nicer than his reputation.

Stacy: Glad you got to meet a "star"!! Considering his reputation for not exactly being friendly toward photographers, you're lucky you got this shot!

He did an awesome job in "Mystic River". When interviewed, he said he warned the actors playing the cops in this scene that he would be fighting with all his might and that they'd really have to take him down forcefully. A heart-wrenching scene, to say the least:

I have to remember to rent "Sam" one of these days.

Okay, is this for real.

**tommy** · 11-27-2004

Thats what I was thinking to Karen...when I saw him logged on....Anyway if it is Too Cool...Hes just a human like the rest of us who seems to love Playa...maybe we can hook him in and He can come to a Playa.Info meet....(No Pictures) well okay I am taking Pictures!

**denisea** · 11-27-2004

Very cool. Sean is one of my all time favorite actors. I loved him in Woody Allen's Sweet & Lowdown where he plays the part of the 1930's jazz guitarist Emmett Ray... excellent flick.

**ryberg** · 11-27-2004

Yes, very cool.

I'm no movie critic, and those of you serious ones can critique or even lambaste me for this if you think I'm off, but I think Penn may have come as far if not farther than anyone I can think of in terms of his career and skill. I mean, from kids' stuff like Fast Times to being really impressive in about anything you see him in. Madonna has lasted as long I guess in her own way but seems like he has the last laugh on her in this department, all in all. Maybe there are others but I can't think of any others who have come along so far, except maybe (in a very different way stylistically) Johnny Depp, who I always like to watch these days. And Jump Street must be about the equivalent for him of Fast Times.

Just rambling. Lucky you that you got to meet him!

I had the good fortune to wait on Sean Penn for about 6 hours in 1994 when I was working as a waitress; he was really down to earth and cool. The bad rep thing probably stems from annoying paparazzi stalking him and getting in his face. In my experience, he was gracious, intelligent, well-spoken, and kind.

and apparently Sean had the mis-fortune of having to wait 6 hours for his cheeseburger. reminds me of the typical work pace here in the office. I guess some things never change...

Iv'e heard of 'Weak in the knees' but I think this is the 1st time I have ever seen it in ACTION!!!! Check the pic....looks like she's on the way DOWN!! (NOT that way!)

Must have been cool meeting him!!

I was lucky enough to meet the person I MOST wanted to meet in the world, several years ago. It's something you'll carry with you forever. With my luck though, I didn't have a camera. Good for you!!!!
