Sean Penn , the 64-year-old acclaimed actor, recently declared in an interview that Jennifer Lawrence is “probably the last movie star ,” emphasizing her rare and enduring appeal in an era where the concept of traditional movie stardom seems to be fading.
During the podcast, Penn and host Louis Theroux discussed a range of celebrities, with the Oscar winner sharing his opinions on each.
“I think the movie star manufacturer ran out around Jennifer Lawrence’s time or something,” Penn said on The Louis Theroux Podcast about the famous actress. “She’s probably the last movie star.”
Penn later added, “I see some performances from some young actors where I feel like I should quit and become an accountant because they are so good.”
When the host asked if he was probably referring to Timothée Chalamet , Penn replied, “I haven’t seen that movie yet,” referring to Chalamet’s Oscar-nominated role as Bob Dylan in last year’s A Complete Unknown. The actor added, “I haven’t seen his movies yet.”
However, it was clear that Penn has seen Jennifer Lawrence’s movies, as he appeared very impressed by her work in Hollywood.
