Hours after Sean Penn skipped the Academy Awards ceremony, the three-time Oscar winner was seen halfway across the world. Penn, 65, who did not attend to receive his Best Supporting Actor award on Sunday for his role as Col. Steven Lockjaw in One Battle After Another, was photographed the following morning in Kyiv, Ukraine, by an AFP reporter.
"We can say that he’s in Ukraine, but it’s his personal visit; that’s how he sees it, that he needs to be in Ukraine," a senior Ukrainian official told AFP. "He just wants to support Ukraine."
