Charlize and Penn

Published November 23, 2014

And you thought that Hollywood celebs had it easy. Last week the A-list couple Charlize Theron and Sean Penn was at Vasquez Rocks in Santa Clarita, California, with Charlize T’s adopted two-year-old son Jackson. They were there for a casual walk. For some reason the toddler started screaming at the top of his lungs. This made one of the passersby, a woman, film the little episode. She also phoned up the police to check if the couple was not treating the kid in a proper way. Much to the chagrin of the celebrity pair, the police did come and ask the two a few questions. But it turned out that the child was only throwing a tantrum.

Imagine this happening with a local Pakistani showbiz couple!
