Sean Penn Wishes Painful Death For Haiti Critics
Actor Tells CBS He Hopes Those Critics 'Die Screaming Of Rectal Cancer'
NEW YORK (CBS News) ― Actor Sean Penn has little use for those who disparage his work to bring relief to the victims of the January 12 Haitian earthquake.
In an interview with CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan to be broadcast this weekend on CBS' "Sunday Morning," the Academy Award-winning actor addresses cynics who decry the efforts of celebrities to bring attention to the Haitians' plight:
LARA LOGAN: Does it make you angry when people talk about, you know, 'Sean Penn, the Hollywood star, the movie star, coming in and trying to do something,' and they're kind of cynical about it?
SEAN PENN: No.
LOGAN: Do you hate that question?
PENN: No. I guess I've been so away from it all, [in] our tent camp in Haiti, that I haven't had an awful lot of time to pay attention to them. You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah, you know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it.
Penn recently returned to Haiti with his 16-year-old son, Hopper Jack, and 18-year-old daughter, Dylan. Penn said the two were not simply on a sightseeing tour.
"Oh, they're going to help! They're going to be my slaves while we're there!" he laughed. "You bet they're going to help."
"Why are you taking your children there?" Logan asked.
"I think that they've had the experience, as I have, that the first person served by service is the server," Penn said. "You know, there's nobody in the world that isn't looking for a kind of purpose in life, and tangible purpose is the most immediately recognizable."
