Sean Penn Explains How His Friendship With 'Insightful' Hunter Biden Originated
HuffPost
The actor revealed how he became "really taken with" Biden after reading an interview with him several years ago.
Sean Penn had huge praise for his embattled buddy, Hunter Biden, in a new interview with The New York Times.
During a wide-ranging conversation with reporter Maureen Dowd, the actor showed off a painting by Hunter Biden which was on “prominent display” in his Malibu home.
In Dowd’s article, she described the piece, titled “The Map,” as an image of “the black outline of a head with colorful, detailed brushstrokes all around it.”
Penn said the painting, which was a personal gift from president Joe Biden’s son, was made while the attorney-turned-artist was trying “to put the pieces” of his life “back together” amid his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse.
Hunter Biden was recently convicted of three felonies related to lying about his drug use on a 2018 application to purchase a gun.
