Sean Penn has planned a fundraiser with colleagues like Jennifer Aniston. A cult comedy from his vita plays a role here.
Actor Sean Penn (59, "Milk") will get together virtually with numerous colleagues on August 20, 2020 for a corona fundraising campaign by his organization Core. Jennifer Aniston (51), Julia Roberts (52), Morgan Freeman (83), Matthew McConaughey (50), Henry Golding (33) and Shia LaBeouf (34) will hold a reading with him, as Core announced on Facebook, among others . The acting stars will slip into the roles of the cult comedy "I think I'm standing in the forest" (1982). In the teenage flick, a clique is going through its final semester at Ridgemont High in California. Sean Penn played surf lover Jeff Spicoli in the movie.

Comedian Dane Cook (48) will present the event, which can be seen on Facebook and TikTok. "I'm always ready for a laugh – especially when such talented people are around me and we can support Core and his important work," said Penn about the campaign in a statement.
According to "Deadline", it is not yet known who will take on which role in the reading. What is certain is that, to the surprise of many fans, Penn will not slip into his old role. In addition, other stars will expand the lecture round. Sean Penn co-founded Core after the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Since the outbreak of the corona pandemic, the organization has been campaigning for the nationwide implementation of corona tests in the USA.
