Sean Penn has been filming a documentary with Vice Studios in Ukraine since November 2021, but not even Russia attacking the nation has hindered his dedication to the doc.
The two-time Academy Award winner formerly shared that he was “thinking about taking up arms against Russia” to stay in war-torn Ukraine longer, but eventually left the nation for safety concerns.
During a panel discussion as part of Fox News’ “Special Report,” Penn opened up about being told by a former National Security Advisor to flee the nation.
“I just heard from [Former National Security Adviser] Robert O’Brien and he said to get the fuck out,” Penn recalled alongside O’Brien at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum in Yorba Linda, California, in a conversation moderated by Fox News host Bret Baier.
The “Milk” actor described being warned about not going to Ukraine ahead of the Russian invasion.
“Our government is extremely good at caution,” Penn said.
