Sean Penn is apparently a journalist now – which is news to me – but the Hollywood star managed to arrange an interview with the Mexican drug lord. Because who wouldn’t expect him to be able to get in touch with the world’s most famous fugitive and arrange to meet up for a chat?
The pair met back in October, and the interview was published in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

It turns out though that Sean Penn isn’t just a journalist – he is also a top detective as it transpires his interview may have helped lead to the recapture of El Chapo on Friday. Officials have said that Penn’s meeting led them towards the Mexican, who is now back in the same prison that he initially escaped from.
It’s not known exactly how long he’ll be back in jail, but if the past is anything to go by, it won’t be to long. Unless he gets too fat to escape, obviously.
