Is Sean Penn a Spy? Conspiracy Theorists Argue the ‘El Chapo’ Interview Was a Set Up

Date:

Is Sean Penn a spy? Actor by day, CIA government spy by night? Conspiracy theorists are arguing that Hollywood’s Sean Penn is actually a spy.

Sean Penn started his acting career with a small role in the tv series Little House on the Prairie, which was directed by his father Leo Penn. Following his feature film debut in 1981, Penn landed several hit movies including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Carlito’s Way, and Dead Man Walking. Penn would then receive several Oscar nominations for Woody Allen’s comedy-dramaSweet and Lowdown (1999) and the drama I Am Sam (2001), before winning his first Academy Award for Best Actor in 2003 for Mystic River and a second one in 2008 for Milk.

But, as news went viral this weekend that El Chapo was arrested after an interview with Sean Penn, Twitter went crazy asking: Is Sean Penn a spy?

Sean Penn met with the drug lord El Chapo in a remote secret jungle to ask him a few questions about Donald Trump, the film industry and violence in the drug industry.

Supposedly, the interview for Rolling Stone was part of a research project to develop a Netflix-style drama about El Chapo and his prison break.

Although Sean Penn argues that he went above and beyond to hide the meeting from government officials, the details surrounding the meeting has conspiracy theorists going crazy. There is also speculation that Sean Penn was asked by the CIA to locate the drug lord, just like screenwriters were hired to make Argo in order to free United States hostages in Iran in 1979.

Since the interview went public, many fans referenced the 1985 movie The Falcon and the Snowman, in which Sean Penn plays a CIA informant.

The cartel boss was captured on Friday in a 4am raid by Mexican marines and was returned to Altiplano jail. The two-time Oscar-winning actor’s meeting with El Chapo led to a major shoot out in which several people were killed and El Chapo was eventually capture.

The United States has filed several extradition requests in several different states for Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman to be extradited but, El Chapo’s attorneys argue that they are going to appeal for his freedom.
