Sean Penn<\/strong> went nuclear on Will Smith<\/strong> and the Oscars, wondering why he went to jail for assault while Smith got nothing but applause after assaulting Chris Rock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Penn is still hot under the collar that Volodymyr Zelensky<\/strong> was not allowed to appear at the 2022 Oscars ceremony.<\/p>\n Penn angrily told Variety … \u201cThe Oscars producer thought, \u2018Oh, he\u2019s [Zelensky’s] not light-hearted enough.\u2019 Well, guess what you got instead? Will Smith!. I don\u2019t know Will Smith. I met him once. He seemed very nice when I met him. He was so f***ing good in \u2018King Richard.”<\/p>\n And then, Sean delivered the punch … “So why the f*** did you just spit on yourself and everybody else with this stupid f***ing thing? Why did I go to f***ing jail for what you just did? And you\u2019re still sitting there? Why are you guys standing and applauding his worst moment as a person?\u201d<\/p>\n Penn is referring to his 1987 conviction for attacking an extra on the set of “Colors,” for which he served 33 days in jail.<\/p>\n Sean thinks had Zelensky appeared at the Oscars, the tone would have been different and Smith wouldn’t have dared to cross the line …\u201cThis f***ing bulls*** wouldn\u2019t have happened with Zelensky. Will Smith would never have left that chair to be part of stupid violence. It never would have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sean was so distraught, he wanted to destroy his Oscars, saying “I thought, well, f*** it, you know? I’ll give them to Ukraine. They can be melted down to bullets they can shoot at the Russians.”<\/p>\n Penn ended up presenting Zelensky with his own Oscars while on a visit in November 2022. In turn, Penn was presented with the Order of Merit by Zelensky.<\/p>\n The actor, who has been a fierce supporter of Ukraine, has a documentary on the war called “Superpower.” It’s being released Monday on Paramount+.<\/p>\n
