Sean Penn says he’d work with Woody Allen again ‘in a heartbeat’

The actor, who was speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, also cast new light on his meeting with former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and had harsh comments on both Donald Trump and Elon Musk

Allen is accused of sexual abuse by the director’s adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow; Allen has always denied the allegations and two official investigations by social services departments in Connecticut and New York state were closed after finding no evidence against him. Penn said: “I am not aware of any clinical psychologist or psychiatrist or anyone I’ve ever heard talk or spoken to around the subject of paedophilia that, in 80 years of life, there’s accusations of it happening only once. Penn also said that he may have helped accelerate the rise of celebrity culture by his occasionally violent responses to harassment by the media.
