Among the non-answered questions were his thoughts about El Chapo’s recent capture, whether Penn should have alerted authorities as to the drug kinpin’s whereabouts, etc. Mexican authorities said they were able to nab their guy thanks in part to Penn having traveled to Mexico to do his interview for Rolling Stone.

Penn has acknowledged he tagged along for the October 2 meeting at a mountain hideout set up by Del Castillo to discuss plans for a movie about Guzman’s life. “You’ll see when you come”, Guzman, who went by the name “Papa” in the messages, wrote last September.
Penn makes it clear in his Rolling Stone interview that del Castillo was the key instigator of the meeting.
Guzman eventually met del Castillo face to face in an undisclosed jungle clearing in October, along with actor and director Sean Penn.
Penn was asked about the issue and he said that he has nothing to hide while del Castillo has not publicly commented on the matter.
Mike Vigil, former DEA chief of global operations, who has been briefed on the Guzman investigation by United States and Mexican law enforcement, said there is a “very strong possibility that Penn and Del Castillo are going to have to testify”.
The 43-year-old actress, who starred in the 2011 show “La Reina del Sur” (“The Queen of the South”), had a relatively scandal-free career until she directed tweets at Guzman in February 2012.
The actress, who has her own tequila brand, added: “I ll bring my tequila to share it with you, because it is a dream that I wanted to fulfill”. “But when you look at it from Sean Penn’s perspective, he simply had a talk with a fugitive”, Jackson said.
He replied: “I’m more excited about you than the story”.
Since his capture Friday, Guzman has been held at the Altiplano prison in Almoloya de Juarez, where he is being moved continually from cell to cell in order to avoid a second escape, according to CNN.
But the Mexican billionaire’s lawyer says that neither the assumption that El Chapo had approved the article or the quote were true, and has demanded to see evidence. While Department of Justice officials still seek to have Guzman sent to the USA for prosecution I have a suggestion for the Mexican Attorney General.
Guzman was recaptured on Friday, six months after staging a spectacular prison break through a tunnel in his cell floor.
