Sean Penn on Love, Divorce and 'Fraud'
Actor Sean Penn learned some hard lessons about love through his divorces from Robin Wright and Madonna.
The “Gangster Squad” star told Esquire, “There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that.”
He continued, “I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances, blindly. When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and you go, 'What the f**k was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense.”
The breakups haven't left him “bitter.” He explained, “It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.”
Check out the entire interview in the January issue of Esquire.
