Sean Penn, the 64-year-old acclaimed actor, stated in a recent interview that Jennifer Lawrence is “probably the last movie star,” highlighting her unique and lasting appeal at a time when traditional movie stardom appears to be diminishing. During The Louis Theroux Podcast, Penn and host Louis Theroux discussed various celebrities, with Penn sharing his opinions on each.

“I think the movie star manufacturer ran out around Jennifer Lawrence’s time or something,” Penn said on the podcast. “She’s probably the last movie star.”

Penn further commented, “I see some performances from some young actors where I feel like I should quit and become an accountant because they are so good.” When asked if he was possibly referring to Timothée Chalamet, Penn replied, “I haven’t seen that movie yet,” in reference to Chalamet’s Oscar-nominated role as Bob Dylan in last year’s A Complete Unknown. The actor added, “I haven’t seen his movies yet.”

It was evident, however, that Penn has watched Jennifer Lawrence’s films, as he seemed very impressed by her work in Hollywood.
