Sean Penn...in Drag? New Picture Say it All!

Well, he's beautiful.  And, true, it's not what you think.

Sean Penn was snapped on the set of his new movie "This Must Be the Place", which is filming in Dublin. The movie is a "crime thriller" with Sean playing a former rock star--complete with hair, lipstick and makeup:

A bored, retired rock star sets out to find his father's executioner, an ex-Nazi war criminal who is a refugee in the U.S.

So, no, this isn't the sequel to "The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert," but a movie about...something serious. What's curious is that Penn is working that Madonna blowout circa 1983. Maybe it's a little wilder, but she's still part of him.  You can see it in the lips.
