He replied: “I’m more excited about you than the story”.

“I came for the new shirt that “El Chapo” was wearing in the interview, people are asking for it”, he said.
If, however, Penn arranged profit or gain for Guzman – Guzman allegedly met with Penn because he was interesting in making a biopic about his life – the actor could be in trouble.
While authorities narrowly missed capturing Guzman when they raided the hideout where the meeting took place in October, they finally got him on Friday.
Meanwhile, one of El Chapo’s lawyers said Wednesday that Penn lied when he wrote in Rolling Stone that El Chapo had boasted of being the world’s biggest drug dealer.
An interior ministry security official, who has visited the jail on various occasions, said the problem with housing kingpins like “El Chapo” was that they could easily buy off the entire prison staff.
The series will give an inside look at the operations of this cartel, headed by El Chapo, who was captured for the third time last Friday, nearly six months after his escape from a maximum security prison in Mexico.
In the Rolling Stone article, Penn wrote that Guzman was interested in having a movie filmed on his life.
Gomez vowed to fight any injunction and some experts say the government could try a “fast-track” extradition maneuver to speed up the process. They also show Guzman and del Castillo flirting.

The U.S. government wants Guzman, who is believed to be 58 years old, tried on charges ranging from money laundering to drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder. Guzman and his security chief traveled several blocks through the 3-foot (meter) tall storm sewer before popping out in the middle of an intersection.
Badillo said he saw no conflict in accepting payment for legal services from a wanted drug trafficker, saying all Mexican’s have a right to a defense in court.
In the article, Penn said he was not allowed to record his in-person conversation with Guzman.
Despite Mexico’s pervasive corruption, Guzman was bound to be located by law enforcement, which had been humiliated by his July 2015 escape.
Sanchez said the government “regrets any acts of collaboration between any citizen and members of organised crime” or that a Mexican citizen “does not share” information that would help arrest a criminal.
