Sean Penn the Journalist Visits Cuba Again

One of Hollywood's most vociferous liberals, Sean Penn, is back doing his favorite thing: riling Americans with his controversial travels. (Or is his favorite thing getting nominated for Oscars? It's a toss-up.)

The two-time Academy Award winner has embarked on a short trip to Cuba as a journalist on assignment for Vanity Fair and The Huffington Post.

Rumor has it he's there to interview Fidel Castro; however, his rep tells E! News the actor has no set plans to meet with former Cuban leader.

But that's not to say they won't meet up...

Especially considering Sean has already met and written about Castro.

This is just one more stop on the Sean Penn Journalist Tour, which has also included visits to Iraq, Iran and Venezuela. The actor provides lengthy candid accounts of his trips "in hopes of demythologizing” these places as he believes America is "becoming increasingly gullible to the demonizing of foreign states or leaders."

But will anyone be able to get past the fact that the man shoving his political beliefs in our faces is just an actor and not a newsman?
