Sean Penn’s Son Hopper Recalls ‘Butting Heads’ with His Strict Dad Growing Up: He’s ‘Lax’ Now

Sean Penn might be an Oscar-winning entertainer and chief, yet to his child Container Penn, he was Father — who sporadically set some hard boundaries.

“He was severe, and I was continuously causing problems,” reviews Container, 29, who is highlighted in Individuals’ Hottest Man Alive issue as a feature of a portfolio on renowned children.

“We clashed for quite a while. Yet, it’s extremely careless at this point. He’s relaxed in his more seasoned age!”

Experiencing childhood in Northern California, “it was discrete” from a Hollywood way of life, says Container, whose mother is entertainer Robin Wright.

“I realize that my father was known and that my mother was known. Furthermore, we’d go on film sets.

In any case, when we moved back to [Los Angeles], things were shared with me in school. It just caused me to feel abnormal!”

Nowadays, Container, who acted close by his father in 2021’s Banner Day (Penn likewise coordinated) says he has a recently discovered appreciation for his dad’s profession — on and offscreen.

“Milk [is one of my favorites],” says Container. “And afterward The Bird of prey and the Snowman.

Yet, when he went to Haiti [after the horrendous 2010 earthquake], I’d never seen that side of him.

It was simply quick, and he was truly savvy with it. Crisis mode is his place. I feel like he’s the calmest when bedlam is going on. It’s truly perfect.”

Container, who stays close with his mother — “our humor is something similar!” — is glad for down-time with his Father or it they’re separated to get up to speed when.

“My father is truly into FaceTime and messaging,” expresses Container of Penn. “Yet, when he texts, they’re like books. He needs to send them in increases. So I seldom read them!”
