A wealthy actor who often plays tough guys in movies, Sean Penn, left his car behind in Ukraine and made a beeline to the Polish border to escape the fighting behind. He joined hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, mostly women and children and some old men with ailments, to escape the Russian invasion..
“Myself & two colleagues walked miles to the Polish border after abandoning our car on the side of the road. Almost all the cars in this photo carry women & children only, most without any sign of luggage, and a car their only possession of value,” Penn tweeted on Monday. As is the nature of actors, he shared a photo of himself [his 'good' side] taken by someone in his crew, walking along the side of the road, his back to the camera and a line of cars as far as one could see.
He never lets. tragedy go to waste.
The gutsy actor observed that most of the vehicles in sight contained only women and children and it was entirely possible that on this day, he identified as either a woman or child. He noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered all men aged 18 to 60 to stay behind and fight for their country. So Penn used that as a reason to leave because he found a spurt of American patriotism as he hightailed it on down the road.
Vice Studios, which is producing the project in conjunction with Vice World News and Endeavor Content, confirmed Penn’s involvement to Variety and that the Oscar-winning actor had been in attendance at a press briefing Thursday in Kyiv where several Ukrainian officials spoke about the ongoing crisis.
Zelensky shared a silent video of his meeting with Penn, adding the caption, “The more people know about the war in Ukraine, the more chances there are to stop Russia.”
As the invasion intensified, Penn tweeted about his feelings about war and man's inhumanity to man, and boys can be girls and vice versa, and if you want to kill anyone, kill babies while they're still in the womb, but later if you must as long as you make them comfortable.

Penn reportedly was in Ukraine to film a documentary on the Russian invasion but never realized that it could be dangerous so he left. However, others in the media stayed behind to report on the developing situations. It became obvious to Penn, that war documentaries are not his thing because the fighting is real, the bombs are not planted props and a guy could get blown away.

“Already a brutal mistake of lives taken and hearts broken, and if he doesn’t relent, I believe Mr. Putin will have made a most horrible mistake for all of humankind. President Zelensky (sic) and the Ukrainian people have risen as historic symbols of courage and principle,” Penn tweeted, adding, “Ukraine is the tip of the spear for the democratic embrace of dreams. If we allow it to fight alone, our soul as America is lost.”
It's freaking amazing how liberals cry about killing and death, but don't have a problem with baby killing.
