Sean Penn kisses a man, and it reminds him of Madonna

Premiere Of

In his new movie Milk, actor Sean Penn has a scene in which he smooches fellow actor James Franco. After filming this scene, Sean sent ex-wife Madonna a text message letting her know that he had “popped his cherry” kissing a man and that for some reason, it reminded him of her! Maybe because Madge wears the pants in the relationship? Yep, I thought so.

James Franco also had this to say on kissing Sean:

“The first kiss of the movie was out on Haight Street, with, like, 200 people watching, outside. I’m sure in the end it will be a really cool shot, but it starts close and then it takes maybe a minute. That’s a long time on film with everybody watching, and, like, a fake moustache getting in your mouth. It was long enough that you couldn’t help but thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I’m kissing Spicoli.’”

The movie he’s referencing is of course Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and the movie they’re currently filming is a biopic about Harvey Milk, about a homosexual politician in 1970s San Francisco who was assassinated by a co-worker. Here’s the trailer:
