Add to that he is box office poison. From a list of top 10 box office bombs of the year on The Guaridan site:
The Gunman
From the director of Taken comes the connoisseurs hard-man action mis-fire. Double Oscar-winning Sean Penn plays a one-time assassin who is hunted by, and must take revenge on, a former colleague. Also featuring Javier Bardem, Idris Elba, Mark Rylance, and Ray Winstone, it should have been brimming with menace. But then, audiences were more fixated on the fact Penn took his top off every few seconds. So fixated, it seemed, they forgot to turn up. The Gunman earned $15.4 million against a $40 million budget.
He also managed to insult the UK on the graham Norton show so much that that most congenial of hosts looked on in disgust. -

El Chapo is a bad man, but he isn't even the worst in Mexico, let alone the entire world. Not sure if your hatred of Penn has blinded you to the atrocities of the rest of the world or you're just overreacting because it's recent news, but I assure you there are far worse people on this planet.

Saying there's "worse" in the world doesn't excuse Penn.
Don't try to pin things to my statement that weren't there. I never insinuated he should get a pass because he only interviewed the 154th worst human on earth or what have you.
Perhaps the OP was directly affected by the Mexican drug wars, or maybe just has a distaste for his political views (I never said I was a fan). I guess it's a pet peeve of mine when someone says (x) is definitvely the (y) thing in the world when it just isn't true. -

Well if Sean Penn is Evil then.. what about every war mongering nuclear arming degenerate president the US ever had? Not to mention the members of congress.
But in the name of Freedom we will sweep all the bad beep the american government has allowed to happen, at the hands of their armed forces, foreign and abroad.
Dropping bombs, spreading diseases, mass murders, sending armed forces into countries without reasoning or provocation, starting secret wars, funding the enemies of the world, where does it end?
But Sean Penn is evil because he interviewed a bad man. -

You interview the most despicable individual on this planet, who was, at the time, a wanted felon, including dozens of murders, who justifiably should be shot and killed on first contact with law enforcement.
Interviewing someone doesn't mean you endorse their behavior or their criminal activities. Are you that dumb that you really believe that? You're truly an idiot.

Penn is sympathetic to his cause. That says enough.
Penn acknowledges El Chapo's murder victims and drug addicts at the beginning of his piece. He has no illusion that the man is dangerous.

Also "Communist" really?
We're living in a country where calling someone a Communist is still used as a pejorative. Like most on the right,I believe OP is still living in the cold war.

A Caviar Socialist. A rich guy who lives in a Democracy, enjoys freedom of speech and the advantages of a Capitalist society and yet makes passes at leftist dictators like Cuba's Castro, Chavez and every other left wing despot because he thinks he'll look smart and rebellious supporting communist dictators. Hollywood is flooded to the brim with **** like this guy: Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, Vanessa RED-Grave and every other rich caviar eating hypocrite you can think of who owns a house in Beverly Hills and sing the International.
