Sean Penn’s son cusses out paparazzo, hurls ugly slurs

Sean Penn’s son, Hopper, sure said a mouthful Tuesday to a paparazzo hanging out outside a medical office building where he and his dad were headed.

After the elder Penn passed the paps without incident, the 19-year-old muscled his way past and then hurled racial and homophobic slurs at a black photographer, according to TMZ.

“I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal — threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions,� the younger Penn told the website, which posted an unedited version of the video included above. “I deeply regret my choice of words.�

Sean Penn infamously accosted a photographer in October 2009, kicking him in the knee and breaking his camera. The actor cut a deal in May 2010 that had him pleading no contest to a misdemeanor vandalism charge in exchange for a sentence of three years’ probation, 300 hours of community service and a 36 hours of anger-management counseling.

Perhaps he can pass a referral to that last thing on to his son?

Hopper is Penn’s son with former wife Robin Wright. The acting couple also have a daughter together, Dylan.
