#SeanPenn says he’s sworn off taking selfies, even with Holocaust survivors or disabled children, as part of a broader effort to manage his anxiety. “It’s bad for everyone. It’s a soul-sucker.”
The actor also revealed that he no longer attends awards shows, explaining that large gatherings make him uncomfortable.
“Awards shows are social discomfort for me. It’s too many people,” Penn said, adding that he’s committed to avoiding events with large crowds and won’t participate in gatherings of more than eight people, including afterparties.
