In a surprising development, Rolling Stone has published the first-ever interview with fugitive Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known as “El Chapo,” conducted by none other than Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn.

Loera, who was captured and returned to prison Friday, was said to have been captured when he reached out to producers and actors about making a biopic of his life.

The interview published Saturday evening was conducted in October while the drug lord was on the run from Mexican and U.S. authorities. Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, star of soap opera “La Reina del Sur,” conducted the interview with Penn. It was arranged through a producer he calls Espinoza in the article.

“I don’t want to be portrayed as a nun,” El Chapo tells Penn.

Though he formerly denied being a drug dealer, he told the actor, from a secret location, “I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats.”

Rolling Stone also published a two-minute video of the exclusive interview (see below).

Of Mexico’s brutal drug war, El Chapo said: “Drug trafficking is already part of a culture that originated from the ancestors. And not only in Mexico. This is worldwide.”

Written by Penn, who documents his travels from a secret meeting in New York to the jungles of Mexico, the Rolling Stone story also provides details of his escape from prison in July 2015.

Penn explained his interest in the outlaw, saying in the article, “I take no pride in keeping secrets that may be perceived as protecting criminals, nor do I have any gloating arrogance at posing for selfies with unknowing security men. But I’m in my rhythm. Everything I say to everyone must be true. ”

“I took some comfort in a unique aspect of El Chapo’s reputation among the heads of drug cartels in Mexico: that, unlike many of his counterparts who engage in gratuitous kidnapping and murder, El Chapo is a businessman first, and only resorts to violence when he deems it advantageous to himself or his business interests,” he continues.

“As an American citizen, I’m drawn to explore what may be inconsistent with the portrayals our government and media brand upon their declared enemies. Not since Osama bin Laden has the pursuit of a fugitive so occupied the public imagination. But unlike bin Laden, who had posed the ludicrous premise that a country’s entire population is defined by – and therefore complicit in – its leadership’s policies, with the world’s most wanted drug lord, are we, the American public, not indeed complicit in what we demonize? We are the consumers, and as such, we are complicit in every murder, and in every corruption of an institution’s ability to protect the quality of life for citizens of Mexico and the United States that comes as a result of our insatiable appetite for illicit narcotics.”

More Americans need to realize this.

And most of the guns used by the drug cartels come from America too

i think the idea of getting into the minds of the most infamous characters in today's society is very interesting. what leads them to do what they do, what moves them. not with a purpose or trying to romanticize what they do/did, but uncover why, how, when, etc.
maybe i'm reading too much into this lmao but i think that's why?
either that or sean penn is equivalently ****ed up.

OT: i'm so interested in this article!
