Sean Penn set to report from Cuba
Sean Penn is exercising his journalistic skill, reporting from inside Cuba.
The Oscar winner has embarked on a short trip to the island on assignment for Vanity Fair and The Huffington Post.
Rumours have circulated that he might interview Fidel Castro.
But his rep told E! News that there were no plans to meet up with the ailing former leader.
If he were to, it would not be the first such encounter.
In 2005, his family held a lengthy meeting with Castro whilst holidaying in Cuba.
He later wrote about the experience for The Huffington Post.
Past overseas assignments for the actor turned journalist include stints in Iraq, Iran and Venezuela.
