What does beauty have to do with winning a tennis grand slam,
or empowering communities, or tracking jaguars through the wild heart of South America?
Hi there, I'm Isabella Rossellini, and I'm back with season two of This Is Not A Beauty podcast,
where I uncover stories that get to the heart of how beauty is woven through every facet of our lives.
Listen to This Is Not A Beauty podcast from L'Oreal Group on your favorite podcast platform.
From The New York Times, this is The Interview.
I'm David Marchese.
Sean Penn's new movie, One Battle After Another, is tough to pin down.
Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tiana Taylor,
it's about radicals on the run in an America that looks very much like our own.
The movie is politically charged, and it's also spiked with moments of weird humor,
anger, and a lot of heart.
I think it's gonna cause all sorts of reactions.
Which makes it a perfect fit for Sean Penn,
because the actor is also, in his own way, a kind of provocateur.
He's always willing to stir up strong feelings and make things happen.
He does that in his acting, of course.
He's won Academy Awards for his work in Mystic River and Milk.
He does it in his occasional, somewhat gonzo journalism.
And he's also done it as an outspoken advocate for his liberal political views.
