Sean Penn shockingly reveals he's never watched a movie starring this Oscar-nominated A-lister
He's not a member of Club Chalamet.
Sean Penn recently confessed that he's never seen a Timothee Chalamet movie.
'I see some performances from some young actors where I feel like I should quit and become an accountant because they are so good,' Penn, 64, said during 'The Louis Theroux Podcast.'
When Theroux asked the Oscar winner if he was referring to Chalamet, 29, the 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' actor confessed, 'I haven't seen that movie yet,' referring to Chalamet's Oscar-nominated performance as Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown.'

The 'Milk' star added about Chalamet, who is currently dating Kylie Jenner, 'I haven't seen his movies yet.'
Looks like Penn doesn't know about Chalamet's notorious fan account, Club Chalamet.
Chalamet's long list of critically acclaimed films also includes 'Little Women,' 'Dune' 'Call Me By Your Name,' 'Interstellar' and 'Wonka.'
Penn also lamented what he believes is the decline of the movie star.
'I think the movie star manufacturer ran out around Jennifer Lawrence time or something,' the 'Mystic River' star said.
Referring to 'The Hunger Games' star, 34, he added, 'She's probably the last movie star.'

In Oct. 2024, Harrison Ford was also asked about the death of the category of 'movie star'
'Oh, I think it's rubbish. I don't think the question is whether or not there are any movie stars. There's wonderful actors coming up every day,' he told GQ at the time.
'Whether or not they become movie stars is really not the point. If movies need stars, they will find them. I've never f—ing understood being a movie star. I'm an actor. I tell stories.'

Penn, who notoriously interviewed the drug lord El Chapo, also gushed about Tom Cruise.
'Certain kind of movies people appreciate more than others… but this is a very good actor who is also an incredibly extraordinary craftsman,' Penn told Theroux.
'Those movies don't get made on those level without somebody extraordinary behind them. He's the common link behind many of them. It's no accident. He does his own stunts. He's probably the best stuntman in movie world. He's the most experienced guy.'

Charlize Theron Joked About Celebs At Jeff Bezos's Wedding
Last week, celebrities from all corners of the industry flocked over to Italy to watch Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos tie the knot in Venice. On the star-studded guest list, we had A-list actors, singers, models, sports stars, entrepreneurs, media moguls, and the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan (minus Kourtney), all of whom were dressed to the nines as they stepped out across several days of extravagant celebrations. But, away from the glitz and glam of it all, there has been a lot of negative chatter surrounding the wedding, particularly about the intense pushback from the Venetian locals and environmental groups, who protested the wedding, citing over-tourism concerns. Jeff and Lauren pledged to donate to three Venetian charities to help safeguard the city's cultural heritage and support its residents. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories,' the couple wrote in a note to guests, which was obtained by ABC. 'Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.' In light of all this, and the general skepticism towards billionaires (particularly those with ties to Donald Trump), there were some raised eyebrows in the direction of the celebs who attended the wedding festivities, which Forbes estimates may have cost around $25 million. But, someone who wasn't at the wedding was Charlize Theron. And while speaking at the fifth annual Block Party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday night, the Oscar-winner made an interesting — and maybe slightly shady — remark about the number of her A-list peers celebrating with the Bezoses in Italy. Kicking off the charity event, Charlize reportedly deadpanned on stage: 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they suck and we're cool.' Of course, it's hard to know whether she was being serious or merely making a topical joke, but either way, I'm sure plenty of people would agree with the sentiment. LMK your thoughts in the comments.

In Paris, All Eyes on Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut
PARIS — The new vision for Dior by Jonathan Anderson has been teased all week on social media, slowly revealing hints of the brand's new chapter. To decode Jonathan's new Dior, today we have the most incisive and insightful take from BoF's inimitable editor-at-large Tim Blanks. On Thursday, when I asked Tim about his preview with Jonathan earlier this week, he whispered three key words into my ear: '18th century grunge.' My mind tried to conjure up what that might look like, but it wasn't until the show at Les Invalides on Friday afternoon at 2:30pm that it all came into focus. Tim and I were seated across from a phalanx of designers — Stefano Pilati, Glenn Martens, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Donatella Versace, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Chemena Kamali, Chitose Abe, Nicolas de Felice and Christian Louboutin — who came to support and, no doubt, to carefully scrutinise Jonathan's debut. Where Jonathan goes, many others will surely follow. 'He's been cast as LVMH's saviour,' writes Tim in his review. 'The first designer to be given full control of every aspect of the Dior business — women's, men's, haute couture — to pull it back from a brink that naysayers gleefully picture it perched on.' So can Jonathan pull it off? Read Tim's full review here: 'Jonathan Anderson's Grunge Aristocracy at Dior' Plus, this week on The BoF Podcast, tune in to hear from Yasmin Sewell on her journey from fashion into beauty, with her superpower: using intuition to guide her choices in business — and life. Have a great weekend, Imran Amed, Founder and Editor in Chief Below are my top picks from our analysis on fashion, luxury and beauty this week: 1. Jonathan Anderson's Grunge Aristocracy at Dior. Colliding artistry with calculated artlessness, the designer's debut offered up a great appetiser for a more complex meal to come, writes Tim Blanks. (Getty Images) 2. What the Israel-Iran Conflict Could Mean for Fashion. While a ceasefire is in place, shipping, supply chains and consumer sentiment remain threatened as tensions in the Middle East persist. (Getty Images) 3. Why Jewellery Feels Like a Better Deal Than a Handbag. Jewellery brands have raised prices less than fashion labels, and now benefit from a stronger sense of lasting value. (Cartier, Louis Vuitton) 4. Exclusive: Skims' Plan for Global Domination. Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand is preparing to enter many new markets in the US and, increasingly, globally. CEO Jens Grede spoke with The Business of Fashion about his vision to create 'the Apple store of apparel.' (Rafael de Cárdenas, Ltd) 5. Can Korean Fashion Be as Big as K-Beauty, or K-Pop? K-fashion made significant inroads in becoming a part of a global fashion conversation in 2025, with brands like Post Archive Faction and Gentle Monster grabbing attention. But scaling the category to become as big as other cultural exports remains challenging. (BoF Team /BoF Team) This Weekend on The BoF Podcast As a fashion buyer and creative force at retail institutions like Browns and Liberty, Yasmin Sewell has long been tuned into aesthetics and the power of intuition. But it was during a moment of personal reset, that her intuition propelled her from fashion into an entirely new world: the business of beauty. Founded in 2021, her fragrance brand Vyrao blends traditional perfumery with spiritual practices like Reiki, kinesiology, and neuroscience. 'When I was in fashion, what made me successful was tapping into my intuition and tapping into energy, which is everything I've created now. I was born quite psychic; I've always been able to connect with many things, and I used that ability to discover the designers at Browns,' Sewell shared. 'That feeling is what I've lived by my whole life. It's what's led me to where I am now. And actually, what I believe I've done is bottled that into fragrance.' At The Business of Beauty Global Forum 2025, I sat down with Yasmin to discuss why she built a business rooted in energy, how she learned to manufacture fragrance from scratch, and why intuition is an underrated superpower in business.
