Seriously? OMG! WTF?

I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to use the Capitol for open casting calls for “The Apprentice.” 1100 S. Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach has more space. pic.twitter.com/BbYdhERCBb

I always think of Sean Penn as a serious man, but it turns out he does have a funny side to him. Something that he has been showing a lot of recently.

Case in point, today, he made a joke about Donald Trump’s instigated attack on Capitol Hill yesterday. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to use the Capitol for open casting calls for ‘The Apprentice.’ 1100 S. Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach has more space,” Penn wrote.

Since there are rumors that Mark Burnett wants to revive The Apprentice with Trump, Penn might be onto something. It should be easy to produce. They can film it in whatever federal jail Trump and cult 45 members are all assigned to.

Sean Penn asked some of his new friends to do a virtual table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High to raise money for his charity. Core does a lot of amazing work like providing COVID-19 testing sites in hard-hit areas.

I say new friends because he didn’t ask any of his co-stars from the original movie to do it. Instead, he had Julia Roberts read Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Stacy, Jennifer Aniston was Phoebe Cate’s Linda, and a stoned Shia LaBeouf filled in for Penn.

Who played Brad? Brad Pitt, of course. Shortly before the table read went live, Judge Reinhold, who originally held his part, I mean the part, asked his fans to watch. When it came to him talking about Pitt filling his huge pirate hat, he said, “I think Brad Pitt, is playing me, which would only make sense, cause the resemblance is uncanny.” Yes, it is.

Is it just me, or does Reinhold look better now than he did in the 1982 film that never gets old?

On that note, do you want to see the table read, then click here!

No matter how many Oscars Sean Penn wins or roles he plays, he will most be remembered for one of his earliest roles. Nothing can compare to the greatness of Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

Yesterday, when the actor was on Conan, O’Brien wanted to know if based the stoner surfer on anyone in particular. He did.

After reading Cameron Crowe’s book, which the film is based on, he immediately thought of someone that was “rhythmically aligned with that character.” That guy was one of the first people he met when he moved to Malibu in 1969.

The TBS host then wanted to know if this guy knew that the ultimate ’80s dude was based on him. Penn said, “I really don’t think so, but part of that, may have had to do, with him, not knowing where he was.”

Now that we have a better image of the man that Penn knew from the time he was 9-17, has he ever seen him since their memorable time, to only one them, on the beach surfing? About 2 months ago, Penn was riding the waves and he ran into a well-spoken family man. Penn couldn’t place him until he told him his name. This businessman was the same man that was the inspiration for Jeff Spicoli.

Which is kind of interesting if you think about it. Penn is more like Spicoli today than the guy who he based the part on. Whoa. Mr. Hand would be so blown away by that.

BTW I am totally watching Fast Times again because of this interview. To me, this is the greatest coming of age movie from the ’80s. Sorry John Hughes, but it is.
