Sean Penn 'thinking about taking up arms against Russia' to defend Ukraine

foxnews.com:

Actor Sean Penn may be home from Ukraine, but he's still got the country on his mind amid Russia's invasion. Over the past several months the filmmaker spent time in Ukraine to film a documentary featuring President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and military forces.

Although he's since returned home to California, Penn revealed in a new interview that he has intentions to go back and has thought about "taking up arms" against Russia. "The only possible reason for me staying in Ukraine longer last time would’ve been for me to be holding a rifle, probably without body armor, because as a foreigner, you would want to give that body armor to one of the civilian fighters who doesn’t have it or to a fighter with more skills than I have, or to a younger man or woman who could fight for longer or whatever," Penn told Hollywood Authentic. "So, where I am in life is short of doing that, but if you’ve been in Ukraine [fighting] has to cross your mind.

And you kind of think what century is this? Because I was at the gas station in Brentwood the other day and I’m now thinking about taking up arms against Russia?

What the f--- is going on?" Penn, 61, continued. Sean Penn was in Ukraine when Russia first invaded the country in February. (Presley Ann/Getty Images) Penn arrived in Kyiv to film about the escalating conflict when Russia's war on Ukraine broke out in February.
