Sean Penn has publicly defended Woody Allen during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast. He acknowledged that while he cannot fully vouch for Allen's innocence amidst allegations of sexual abuse, he views the claims skeptically, citing distrust in the sources. Penn, who has worked with Allen in the past, stated he would collaborate with him again without hesitation, emphasizing the lack of concrete evidence against Allen. Furthermore, he discussed a past encounter with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, revealing insights about his aborted documentary project during the Arab Spring.
I am not aware of any clinical psychologist or psychiatrist or anyone I've ever heard talk or spoken to around the subject of paedophilia that, in 80 years of life, there's accusations of it happening only once. I'm not aware of that.
I see he's not proven guilty, so I take him as innocent, and I would work with him in a heartbeat.
The stories are mostly told by people that I wouldn't trust with a dime. It just seems so heavily weighted in that way.
Penn expressed skepticism about accusations against Allen and emphasized that he would love to work with him again.
