Notorious drug lord met with U.S. actor in his hideout in Mexico before being recaptured
Sean Penn's long and often rambling Rolling Stone essay based on his interview with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — which included comments from Guzman on everything from his childhood to his thoughts on the drug trade — has been widely mocked on social media.
- How drug lord El Chapo met up with Sean Penn, Kate del Castillo
- El Chapo met with Sean Penn while on the run from authorities: Rolling Stone
- Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman, fugitive drug lord, captured in Mexico
Guzman met with Penn and Mexican actress Kate del Castillo in his hideout in Mexico months before his recapture by Mexican marines in his home state of Sinaloa, according to Rolling Stone. The magazine published Penn's article on Saturday, the day after El Chapo was recaptured.
The whole affair raised many questions, as well as eyebrows.
