Hopper Penn- Sean Penn’s Son

Seems like Hopper Penn is following his dad Sean Penn’s footsteps, and we are not talking about acting this time, but about altercations with paparazzi.

19-year-old Hopper Penn got into an altercation with an African-American photographer in Beverly Hills while heading into a medical building on Bedford Drive with his dad. The unidentified paparazzo said that they both argued and then Hopper pushed him. Hopper also made racial and anti-gay statements while yelling:

“F*** you … you’re a f***ing f***ot … shut up you f***ing n***er.”

Sean Penn kept his head down and walked in without a word. It was all caught on tape. Cops happened to be nearby at the time and heard the commotion. The photographer said it was just a verbal dispute and he didn’t want to press charges against Hopper.

Hopper Penn later said:

“I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal, threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions. I deeply regret my choice of words”
