On Saturday, March 7, during a promotional tour for his new film The Gunman, in Beverly Hills, Penn opened up about the green card joke he made during the Oscars saying that he has absolutely no apologies for his comment. I found it hilarious, Iñárritu said after the ceremony. Sean and I have that kind of brutal (relationship) where only true friendship can survive. Iñárritu directed Penn in the 2003 film 21 Grams and the two remain close to this date. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP) (Jordan Strauss/Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
