Sean Penn, 52, says no one, including his ex-wife, Robin Wright, 46, has ever loved him. “When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and you go, What the f— was I doing?" Penn told Esquire. "What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way? Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.”

Penn has publicly criticized Wright, from whom he divorced in 2010, in the past. "She's a ghost to me,” he told Vanity Fair in 2010, admitting they no longer had anything to do with each other.

After his divorce, Penn dedicated much of his time and energy to the relief efforts in Haiti, following the 2010 earthquake. Along with philanthrophist Diana Jenkins, Penn created the Jenkins/Penn Haiti Relief Organization. Penn says the experience was eye-opening, especially in “a country that had never experienced anything that related to comfort, and out of that you had great strength that, I think, we all benefited from.”
