Hopper Penn Involved in Altercation with Paparazzo

The son of Sean Penn took a page out of his father’s book recently when he went after a paparazzo, according to TMZ. Sean’s son, Hopper Penn, rammed the photographer and called him a ‘fa**ot’ and a ‘ni**er.’

Hopper is 19 and was following his father into a medical building when he got himself involved in an incident with the member of the paparazzi. The entire incident was caught on video, which we have embedded here in this post for you to watch.

Hopper gets into the face of the photographer, pushes him, and says, “F*** you … you’re a f***ing f***ot … shut up you f***ing n***er.”

Police officers were in the area when the incident occurred and heard all the noise. Sources close to the police said that the officers asked what happened and the photographer explained it was a verbal disagreement and that he did not want to press charges against Hopper.

Hopper spoke with TMZ and said, “I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal – threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions. I deeply regret my choice of words.”

Sean got into an incident with a photographer four years ago and it involved kicking. He received a three-year probation sentence from that altercation.
