Sean Penn in trouble for fighting a photographer

Actor Sean Penn often gets angry at paparazzi who take photos of him. In 1987 he had to go to jail for 60 days for attacking a photographer on a film set. And he had another fight with a photographer at his brother’s funeral in 2006. Now Sean has to do 300 hours of community service for having a fight with yet another photographer last year. He also has to get 36 hours of anger management counselling and will be on probation for three years.

Sean’s lawyer Richard Hirsch told reporters that Sean agreed to all this so he could continue his charity work, helping the people of Haiti recovering from the massive earthquake that happened there earlier this year. “Prolonging this would not have been in his best interests,” the lawyer said.

You can see Sean in the thriller Fair Game, in German cinemas later this year.
