Sean Penn jacket chateau marmont west hollywood

Last night we caught Sean Penn leaving the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood with a pal, and the notoriously cranky Oscar winner played nice with photogs as he walked to his car. Since Sean was ordered to undergo 300 hours of community service and 36 hours of anger management counseling following an assault on a paparazzo last fall, we're pretty sure this is about as angry as he's going to get...

Then again, he could pull a Bruce Willis and douse photogs with a bottle of water!
