"She's probably the last movie star" - Sean Penn praises Jennifer Lawrence, says he hasn't seen a Timothée Chalamet movie yet

During a recent appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Sean Penn revealed that Jennifer Lawrence is “the last movie star” who can get people to come to theatres just by her name.

While discussing the Hollywood film industry, Theroux asked Penn if Leonardo DiCaprio was a bankable star, to which he responded, saying:

"I think the movie star manufacturer ran out around Jennifer Lawrence's time or something. She's probably the last movie star."

Penn then went on to discuss the younger generation of actors and commented that some of them are “so good” that they make him want to quit and “become an accountant.” However, Penn is yet to see Timothée Chalamet’s work.
