Sean Penn was seen out in Malibu with a packet of cigarettes in hand as he stepped out for a smoke. The 63-year-old looked unrecognizable as he sported a new white hair color and appeared slimmer in his white shirt, joggers, and comfy trainers. He looked satisfied as he walked the street with his thinning hair in a side part.
The Colors actor has been a constant face on the ongoing comedy series C*A*U*G*H*T and is set to star alongside Dakota Johnson in an upcoming drama titled Daddio.

Sean made his film debut in 1981 playing cadet lawyer Alex Dwyer in Taps, featuring the likes of George C. Scott, Timothy Hutton, Ronny Cox, and Tom Cruise. He went on to earn multiple awards including Oscars for the 2003 mystery drama Mystic River and the 2008 biopic Milk.

The father of two is also known for his down-to-earth nature, which he demonstrated in January by helping a reporter ahead of the Golden Globes event. Variety reporter Marc Malkin had car trouble while on his way to cover the pre-party festivities, and Sean pushed his vehicle with his publicist Mara Buxbaum. Sean’s kindness made headlines and Malkin was “dumbstruck” by his gesture.
Last year, writer Mary Gabriel gave fans a peek into Sean’s personal life, particularly his rocky marriage to Madonna which ended in 1989. “Their expectations for their relationship had also diverged. She wanted a marriage of equals. He had a strong streak of traditionalism that required him to be the ‘man,’” she wrote.

Due to their rising fame, Sean gave in to alcohol while Madonna started “working harder.” They argued publicly on some occasions and eventually grew apart as Madonna’s career progressed. “Years later both took responsibility for the marriage’s demise. Penn described himself as an angry young man during that period and admitted he was hard to live with. For her part, Madonna said she hadn’t been ready to be married,” Mary added.
