Sean Penn spotted smoking at table during Golden Globes

"Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Sean Penn was caught on camera smoking at his table during Sunday night's Golden Globes ceremony in Los Angeles, which is a possible crime. Penn, 65, was spotted puffing away while seated with his One Battle After Another co-star Leonardo DiCaprio during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Another photo shows the two posing in front of a water glass that's been turned into an impromptu ashtray."

"In fact, Penn may have actually violated one of California's clean air laws. California law prohibits smoking in hotels, motels & other lodging, according to the California Department of Public Health. Most indoor hallways and stairwells are off-limits, too. Vanity Fair reported that guests were scanning the theater for easy access to outdoor areas for smoke breaks throughout the show."

"Penn previously lit up during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2018. One Battle After Another won several awards on Sunday, continuing its awards season run, including best picture, best director and screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, and best supporting actress for Teyana Taylor. DiCaprio and Penn (and co-star Benicio del Toro) were both nominated in best actor and best supporting actor categories, but lost to Timothee Chalamet and Stellan Skarsgard."
