13) Sean Penn
Sean Penn is an avid smoker. Typically, audiences view him smoking a cigarette on movie sets and in public debates. With work done in Mystic River and Milk, the smoking habit of Sean Penn gives an edge to his otherwise rough and intense personality. Smoking has become consistently depicted as part of his public identity, often akin to his passionate and outspoken nature.
Penn is getting slammed for a lifestyle choice. Still, the justification for smoking shows that beneath the rough, unapologetic exterior remains a complexity of his actor and activist identity, a duality of fame and personal choice.
